Aug. 2, 2022 Jamie53 Men's 65 5 posts | Looking for a Team (Waiting to be Registered - Submitted 7-28-22) Got back into the game after 10 years, after almost getting hit in the head. Through the years pitch in B, C and ending up in D league. Been playing the last two years on morning leagues on Wednesday (2 games), Saturday (3 games), and filling in on night teams when needed. Had a lot of compliments from teammates and other teams on my pitching. Have pitch against all levels of play. Still trying to get use to the power hitters they can hit any pitch for a HR, I Have a lot of respect for their playing skills. I pitch around the home plate and pitch junk in trying to get the ball to the infielders and outfielders. But we know pitchers do serve up meat ball more than once in games and sometimes they are HR's. I'm still learning to deliver the ball in different ways to force the batter to hit something they don't want. Used to run a lot when I was younger and kept in shape. At 68 I still have my legs and in shape to move around the bases and chase down fly balls in the outfield. Also, I run for others on our team after getting to first; they are faster individuals on the team, but I do my part to help out. Also play RF, that part of the games is still coming along. My teammates from Wednesday morning the last two years, have bought me along. I can play catcher. Hitting is 500 and above. The rookie is still trying to be patience for his pitch. I usually hit 6 or 7 because I can hit line drives to get runs in. For example, I went for 4 for 7 against one of top tier teams in our league, had one double and triple and two singles. Could have, had another triple but was thrown out at third, by three feet. I'm just an average hitter and improving in my old age. Looking for a great group of guys to play ball and have fun with wherever you live; just like meeting people and becoming friends. I step my game up when others do the same. |
