Whenever Corbin is asked what his favorite sport is he immediately replies "Baseball!" He has a natural love for it. We try to practice other sports with him and he has no desire, but if we bust out a baseball bat he is ready to go. So you can imagine how excited he was to start playing on a team. He is doing coach pitch baseball with I9. It's a great place to start while learning the functionality of the game. He has two friends from our ward on his team too, Abe and Garrett. For their first game and practice they did a great job! Corbin nailed the ball ever time he got up to bat. He really is so good. Several parents came up to me and said that Corbin has a natural talent for baseball. I was so proud of him, and happy to see him doing something that he loves so much. It was funny because some kids would have smiles on their face having so much fun, but Corbin was always so serious. I told him it doesn't have to be serious he can have fun and play too. When he does anything he really puts his heart and soul into it.
The funniest part was when they were all in the out field. A ball would be hit out to his team and not one but all 7 children would go for the ball. I think someone forgot to tell them that they were all on the same team. In fact, after everyone separated from the pile there were two kids still fighting over the ball. We all were laughing our heads off. There is lots to learn, but definitely a great start the season.
Coach prepping the team

All I can say is...he's going pro!
