This year's baseball season was a big one for Peyton. We finally figured out Peyton's batting dilemma. A couple years ago his t-ball coach was convinced that Peyt was hitting on the wrong side and switched him over to the right side. Peyton does absolutely everything left handed so this was surprising to me. So for the next 2 years he got used to hitting on the right but his swing was super awkward and he never looked comfortable. This resulted in a lot of frustration for him and he kept mentioning that he really didn't want to play anymore. He got used to being on the right side so much that he no longer felt comfortable on the left either. SO frustrating! He decided to give it one more shot this year and thank goodness Brandon got to coach with Sean, who we knew from previous baseball/soccer/basketball seasons. Sean is an awesome coach and knows so much about the game. He knew right away that Peyton was batting on the wrong side and immediately started working with him on Saturday's to get him comfortable and back to the left side. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! He finally got used to the left again and was hitting so much harder and he looked so much more comfortable. What a relief.
He also improved immensely with his fielding and understanding of the game. We are excited for next year as he will move up to the minor league level. He played a lot of first base, a little bit of catcher and second base.
B coached again this year and he did an amazing job. He is sooo patient which is key to coach this age level.

Here are a few of the many videos I took. He improved so much this year. So proud of you Peyt!
We had our end of the season party at Buffalo Wild Wings. Peyt has made some good friends.
