Season Highlights

Braden's baseball season started early in the year with a non-parent-coached team: Texas Edge.  We were very pleased with the coaching and instruction he received throughout the season.  Although there weren't as many wins as we had hoped, the boys finished with a strong showing in the World Series!

I have to brag on Braden's season stats:
Batting Average: .570
On-base percentage: .685
Fielding percentage: .877

He made a great appearance as a pitcher in the World Series. Having only pitched 3 total innings in the season, they used him for 5 innings in the Series and he pitched very well. 

He had an amazing streak in the middle of the season where he got up to bat 24 consecutive times before he ever got out!  That was very cool because it lasted through 2 tournaments that he never got out!  In 112 plate appearances for the season he only struck out 5 times!  I know, I'm a little overboard with the bragging, but he put a lot of hard work into it so I just have to!

Braden loves the game, and he is a great leader on the team!  We're looking forward to seasons ahead!
