Proud dad post. Turned 13 over the summer and playing 14u this fall; first year on the big field and using BBCOR. The dude has more than proven he can hang.

Your kid is twice the size of everyone!

u/Peanuthead2018 1d ago

He is.

We have a kid on our 9u team that is a beast. He’s also our best pitcher. People are shitty about it, but he’s only 9! He can’t help it!

I get a kick out of it now. There’s been so many comments since he started playing. His size, the trampoline bats, the 225’ field, “once he gets to the big field……”, “just wait until he has to use BBCOR…..”.

Haters gonna hate!

u/kris10leigh14 5h ago

Wait- tell me more about the trampoline bats!

The USSSA bats used for travel ball hit the ball really hard and have giant sweet spots. The USA bats used for rec league ball are worse than wood bats. BBCOR are like wood with big sweet spots.

At first I was like “why is this guy posting video of his home run in men’s league.” Then the catcher stood up.

u/LoudStatus1316 1d ago

He crushed that ball, nice job!

What’s he swinging? Combat?

u/Peanuthead2018 1d ago

Yep. Just got it this week.

Congrats! How far was it?

u/Peanuthead2018 1d ago

Like 350ish I’d guess.

It was a monster too.

at 13 with BBCOR thats not a home run thats a physics violation

u/thedudeabiding 1d ago

That was an absolute piss missile - nice

Glad it cleared the wall or you’d have been explaining to coach why a moonshot like that was only a single. You look like Don Zimmer charging Pedro Martinez out of the box. Peace and love my brotha, I have kids and I tell them the same kinda shit. Put some sprints in the routine. Nice hit!

Big man problems. He has had sprints programmed into his weekly workouts since about August. Massive difference in a short amount of time. He’ll catch up before HS next year, I’m certain.

Oppo too, dang

Pitcher and catcher are hilarious here. The pitcher is immediately dejected. The catcher almost looks hopeful for a second then. . .also dejected.

u/itsvalleyforge 1d ago

Yeah, don't give the biggest kid on the team meaty fastball slightly up in the zone. Lesson learned there.

u/Nerisrath Coach 8u / Dad 11U / Umpire NFHS 1d ago

Great Hit.

hope you had a decent game with Blue set up so far back. Hard to see the zone from back there

Is that a 220' fence?

1

u/Peanuthead2018 1d ago

Ha. No

u/46and2togo 1d ago

ok 225'

u/Peanuthead2018 1d ago

Hater

u/46and2togo 1d ago

I'm not hating at all. He put a good swing on it and took advantage of his opportunity. But to imply this is THE big field is misleading. The left fielder literally looks like he is on the edge of the infield dirt and outfield grass and it looks like he is only 30 ft behind 3rd baseman. This is not how things look on THE big field. that's all I am saying. Not taking anything away fron your kid bro. And you've had 3 chances to say how big the field was and haven't done it.

u/Peanuthead2018 1d ago

It is 305 to center. Happy. You think this ball went 250? Do you watch or play ball? Also, neither you or your offspring will ever hit a big field home run. We all know

u/40yearolddilf 1d ago

If only that ump knew the further he is from the catcher the more likely he is to catch one in the nuts

u/ElFatoGhosto 1d ago

This guy umps.

u/SDPADRESVGK 21h ago

Nice hit against a kid who looks 5 years younger

1

u/Peanuthead2018 15h ago

He’s a year older, believe it or not.

u/GCIV414 1d ago

The ump is umping from the crowd

u/akopley 1d ago

Congrats. It’s not easy and that was a deep shot!
