[quote=Anonymous]Baseball takes a lot of hand eye coordination and there's a lot of opportunity for big mistakes out on your own in front of everyone. I would not say it's a confidence builder. That said, my 13 year old DS is a great baseball player and he's also big and kind of slow. So he developed a niche as a power hitter and pitcher. There are positions in baseball where you don't have to be a fast runner or extremely agile, so if that's what you mean, then yes. But that won't come for a number of years. I would look for a supportive league and coach at that age -- Takoma Park Silver Spring comes to mind if you are in MoCo -- and let him try it. Coaches at that level/age group will encourage supportive behavior by the rest of the team and it will let him get his feet wet in a team environment. [/quote]
