For those that don’t know me well, I’m actively involved in coaching my 12-year-old son’s baseball teams (yes, plural). This weekend, my son’s travel team was playing and I kept telling the boys to field the ball “leaning forward” to “keep the ball in front of them.” In this case, a couple of the boys were not leaning forward and when they didn’t field the ball cleanly, the ball continued on its path and the opposing team got on base and scored runs as a result.
