From redshirt to starting

So baseball season has started! It is a lot of fun already. Im playing shortstop and doing really well because i have been playing recently and been training hard so i could make it. So pretty much at practice we have done a lot of infield outfield work, some hitting (none for the returning players unfortunately.), and a lot of running. The running is pretty challenging but i am pretty used to it from my other team so i am not as exhausted as the freshman and some of my other teammates.

So today we started out with our daily warm-up, then stretching, and then a little catch. After catch we did some base running around the bases just to check out our speed and how our base running mechanics were. After base running we split into groups.

My group was Ryan, Keegan, Jack, Sean, and I(All the returning players.). We split into groups and did more base running by practicing leads and stealing and reading passed balls/balls in the dirt. We had a group at each base and then one batting at the plate. The rest of the groups were to play defense. So my group was the only group to not hit because we ran out of time at the end. Cody said that since he knew us already he needed to evaluate the freshman more. So pretty much we just stayed on defense the whole time and did a little base running.

After practice Cody said that the first cut would be monday and that it might be the only cut(probably not). Well that pretty much it. We got the weekend off, i was kinda upset because i wanted to play more. Practice monday should be fun, i cant wait. Our first game is in two weeks so we need a lot of practice if we expect to start the season off well. Hopefully this season will be better than last.
