[quote=Anonymous]Yes he can start baseball! My son is a high level travel player at a small private high school where everyone makes the team. There are kid starting baseball for the first time as 9th or 10th graders. They are learning and don’t get to play in games unless it’s a blowout, but they are on the team and learning. It’s not too late!

Agree rec league and lessons now are a good idea. The other important thing is knowing the game - the rules, plays, etc. He wants to know where to throw the ball when he fields it, in what situations he might try to steal and when not to, etc. Watching baseball on TV can help (maybe videos of little league World Series?) and there may be books, too. I’m sure there are YouTube channels.

Finally, a kid like mine (17, wants to coach when he grows up) would love to “coach” your kid - teach the basics, instill confidence, etc. Maybe you know a baseball crazy older teen who would work with your son for a modest fee? Most baseball lessons taught by pros are not exact of modest cost…[/quote]
