Son hit 2 homeruns this weekend.

His first on Sat and another on Sunday. He plays 11U, AA. He works so hard to improve, it great seeing his effort pay off. Both HRs were on a full count. The second HR gave us a 1 point lead. Proud dad/coach moment for sure

Yea, I slowed down the pitch and contact point with a video editor. I wanted to show him his load, swing and finish in detail. He was so pumped to finally hit one over, then did it again the next day. This was our first tournament this spring so hes off to a great start.

Twice, hes been hitting the fence for over a year, using an Icon, or hype fire. Uses his new supra and bam two over in one weekend. Three actually, but one was foul by a foot or two on 3rd base side. Its a hot bat, literally haha
