Practice from 7-8:30 with Elite Monsters inside Elite Athletes Training.  This was their first hitting team practice together.

Sunday - September 16, 2012

First Practice with 11U Elite Monsters.  Was a great practice and I thought Sway did really well.  First time on the 50/70 field and was impressed that at 9 years old he performed well with the longer base paths.  There were no issues with throws from SS, 2nd, or Catching.  The extra 5' really gives him an advantage catching and he is hard to run on.  The practice was very structured and believe the coaches did an overall great job teaching proper fundamentals.

Pitching
He Threw a 40 Pitch Bullpen.  Velocity has increased a lot in the last month or so.  He is up to about 55 Consistently and occasionaly getting a few MPH harder at times.  Chris Nygaard has really helped him with proper roation coming out of his hand which has really helped him not cut the ball.

Hitting Lesson with Pat Reibsame
45 Min.  Primarily worked on Control in stride and keeping hands back on Changeup and Curves.  He struggled a little today but I think it was good.  Pat was throwing hard and close and then come back with change up.  Body Control looked great but hands were getting started too early.  Great lesson from Pat!
