Bulldogs

Logan tried out for a comp baseball team a few months ago. (yeah I'm way behind on my blog)
This tryout was a lot different from his tryout for All Stars. All Star tryouts were a joke. Logan had about 3 min to show what he can do in the field. Not enought time! The tryout for the Bulldogs team was close to an hour and a half. And boy did Logan SHINE!! We left the tryout feeling pretty confident. A day later this is the e-mail we received:
 
On behalf of the Davis Bulldog's 8U team we would like to invite Logan to join our team. He had a great tryout and will be a valued asset to the team. Please let me know as soon as possible if Logan and you will accept the invitation.


Coach D
Go Bulldogs


Heck yes we will accept this invitation!! Look how happy these two are!

 
With any comp team comes a lot of practice. Logan typically has practice two-three times a week. Each practice is an hour and a half. Logan currently is playing center field and first base.
Logan has an incredible talent to track a baseball. Most 7 year olds can't even catch a fly ball let alone one that is hit out into the out field. Speed plays a HUGE role in being able to track a ball and this boy has been blessed with wheels! (sorry to brag)   

Aside from the on the field practice, the boys also have fun while secretly practicing. Here are the boys at Farmington pond skipping rocks. Helps with throwing :)

First game of fall ball. we played in Lehi. Let's just say this was a 8 hour day at the baseball field!

We have double headers on Saturdays. Each game is two hours long.  

Here is Logan's first time pitching. Did pretty good.
Being on the Bulldogs takes a lot of dedication from the boys and their parents. The boys will play all year long. Come spring we will play in St. George and possibly Mesquite.
Logan LOVES baseball so this dedication is something he wants. As he said, "baseball is my life"
He has such a passion for the game and it shows on the field. He will play a four hour double header and get in the car and ask to go practice at the park. Now that is dedication!!
