After running the bases, they worked out their arms. The coaches and scouts were amazed that a 4 year old could possess such a cannon for an arm! It appears that he will enter the season at either 3rd or center, given his hose. Next, they brought out the lumber! Kid after kid came up to the plate, only to dribble a few weak grounders back to the mound. Then Presto came out of the dugout. As he bounded up to the plate, you could see the sheer power in his bat! He dug in at the plate, gave his bat a waggle or two, and then unloaded on the ball! The contact between ball and bat sounded like the roar of thunder! Everyone at the park froze in their tracks and turned their attention to Presto! Parents were asking if he was too old for this league and just exactly how old is this kid. One parent from an opposing team demanded a birth certificate on the spot! Watch out Hammerin' Hank, here comes Presto!
All in all, it was a great night for little man! He had fun playing in the dirt, running the bases, and knocking the cover off of the ball! I know, it was only the FIRST practice! But man, you can already see the potential there! Stay tuned for more updates as the season draws near!
