Hello and welcome back to my blog post! Good news! Our varsity baseball team has won three games in a row and I have played in the last two games. My dad has always told me that whenever I get into the game, I have to perform and that's what I have done in the last two games that I have started. Last Wednesday, we played Mooresville. I started in left field and played well and I had a solid hit, going 1-2. Last night against Parkland, we easily won 17-0 and I went 2-3 with a triple and a single but I was a DH so I never got into the field. My only reps at this game were in warm-ups in which I do pretty well and test my arm out. Hopefully, I get to start in the field today as we play East Surry away. It will be a very tough game that may decide if we make the playoffs or not but we are on fire right now. I have been doing all of my exercises at home and may try to get a video out this weekend with my arm being clocked. Spring break was such a relief from school but it flew by. I am excited for the next two weeks because we play Glenn which will be a good game and we also play High Point Christian who is always pretty good but you never know. I have been succeeding in practice and have been giving it my all each day in hopes of starting. Doing these exercises benefit me this year and will benefit me next year in my Junior year. My favorite part about baseball is the atmosphere of the crowd, the stadium, and even just the community. It's always nice to be on the field or at the game and I love being the center of attention at games.

Hello and welcome back to my blog post! This week has been a great week, for school, baseball, and everything else. In school, I have caught up on the assignments that I missed when I had the flu and I have done pretty good to start the new quarter. I have given myself a halfway solid base to start this fourth quarter. At the start of the third quarter, I was struggling in every class so I had to focus more of my time on school. Regarding baseball, I have not been getting many reps in games which is obviously not what I want but I am continuing to work hard to earn a starting spot. I have been getting my work done at home and on the weekends, I am hitting baseballs and working out to get stronger and fix my swing because it was not in a good spot about a week ago. Luckily, I fixed my swing and it feels amazing right now. On Wednesday, we played West Forsyth, a great rival who we happened to fall short to. Fortunately, I got in and I did great, getting a base hit and doing good in the outfield. On Friday, we played West Forsyth again but away, and we beat them 24-10! Unfortunately, I did not play at all besides pinch running. Once again, I felt as if I was throwing harder without trying as hard, which is great because it shows growth. Next week, we play Parkland and I believe I may get some playing time which is good. Something I go by that I have developed throughout this season is to not give up and give it your all. Regardless of the outcome, I will continue to work hard so I can get in this year and start next season.
