ComboBall wrapped up last night, starting in mid-May and lasting until the end of July, it was time. ComboBall is for boys and girls going into second or third grade. Kids get three pitches or strikes from a pitching machine and if they do not hit the ball, they use the batting tee. Most of the major rules of baseball are used, except everyone on the team bats every inning, though if three outs are recorded the bases are cleared. I helped coach the team again this year, we'll see about next year (though the free activity pass to Central High School Athletics is enticing).
Unfortunately, because I was busy coaching, I don't have a lot of pictures. Here's the individual picture of Kieran and team photo that we took in mid-May.
Knowing I didn't have any pictures, last night we went to the field early so I could get some video of Kieran batting off the machine.
That hum you're hearing is the machine going at a mean 34-35 miles per hour.
Well.....you can't hit them all....
The best hit that I captured on video is below (I hope all the videos are visible, I know the quality goes down quite a bit when compared to my computer)....
