WABL Instructional league “Coach pitch”
Last season was my first season as the WABL Instructional league “Coach Pitch” commissioner and what a fun season it was. We had great coaches and lots of great ball players. The season started off with some difficult weather but once we got past the first couple weeks, we saw mostly dry and some unseasonably warm temperatures with no games rained out.
Coach pitch is a great experience for the young athletes to learn the game of baseball and to have the opportunity to hit and field their positions in real game situations with lots of balls in play. The ability to make contact and hit the baseball and then hear their parents and friends cheer them on allows the athletes to gain confidence in themselves and to hopefully learn to love the game of baseball. 2024 will be another exciting season and I cannot wait to get back to the ballfield.
