It’s not baseball, but my 7yo daughter just started playing softball this season. It has been incredibly frustrating to watch but also fun as hell. For whatever reason, throwing a ball does not come naturally to her, like, at all. But she refuses to let me help her because “I’m not her coach”. She’s having a blast though, so that’s really all that matters right now.
Her coach is great, he has 3 daughters, one on the team and all of the girls love playing for him. Contrast that with the team we just finished a home & home with. Also has 3 daughters, 2 on his team. Their team is on a VERY different level from our team. I think the first game we lost about 20-1,second game was a bit better, maybe 15-5ish. But every girl on that team seems miserable. He screams at them non fucking stop. Like literally every contacted ball when their team was fielding someone is getting screamed at, even if they made the play but it wasn’t perfect he’s screaming at them.
