[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - tks much for the responses.

sorry for the garbled original post that's so misleading, but he HAS played baseball before - this would be his third year as well - and also soccer, basketball.

his lack of athletic ability was not obvious in the early years, but the last season i felt the gaps between him and the avg kids had gone larger and especially the speed/pace of the games seem to have fazed him for the first time.

those are the reasons why i was wondering about baseball as a better fit, and to really work to improve his game. no he's not a big hitter but doesn't 'strike out' half of the time either so he's quite confident in his batting skills. he actually throws and catches better than he hits but i guess all boys this age think they're going to hit a home run the next at bat ha ha.[/quote]

              Ok I was the previous poster.  If he has played baseball before then he should be ok.  At eight they usually start the player/pitch rules so its not going to be coach/pitch or tee ball    However on the other end if he is a strikeout machine he is going to lose confidence.  Soccer may be the sport for him[/quote]
