He has played in little league and now is playing in travel also and is ready for when pony league starts up again. He plays catcher, pitcher, and first and third base usually.

He's not an all star yet but with practice after practice we hope he can get there soon maybe. Although even an all star makes daily mistakes too. We just hope he can one day maybe be chosen by an MLB team if its not to much to dream on.
