The Saints team has been full on since summer, which has kept me from seeing Justin James, who is a coach for the Point Loma Nazarene University baseball team and had been working with me on my mechanics.
After I got my first varsity inning in the Bonita Vista HS game, my dad sent Justin a note to let him know how I was doing. Here was his reply:
"That's great! He has worked hard and is a good pitcher. Throwing strikes in that situation is crucial and shows maturity. I was wondering how the heck you guys were doing! Coaches must have some confidence in him."
