[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PPs who said that this may just be how the program is, and that it’s up to your son to find the solution.

At this age, YOU should not approach the coach about this. But your son can (and should) ask to sit down for 10 minutes to ask what the coach would like to see from him come spring tryouts. What areas does he need to focus on? What should be be working to improve? And then… DO those things. Don’t slack off. Don’t sit on a weight room bench with your phone. Don’t joke around with people while other guys are moving L screens and carrying ball buckets. Show up early. Go home late. In between, dress neatly and hustle. These are basic expectations, and players who don’t meet them shouldn’t be surprised if the coaches get annoyed.

It’s great that your son loves baseball — if he wants to keep playing, he needs that passion. But he also needs excellent field IQ, agility, power and speed. And to be a contributor and supporter in the dugout. If he’s treating it like Little League, he’s not going to be an appealing choice. [/quote]
