Week 7 Progress4/19/2022 This week I played two games both against a really good East Davidson team. In the first game I went one for three with a hard hit single. The next game I went 0-2 but I got on with a fielders choice,and I didn't strikeout this week either which I see as progress. My fielding wasn't the best this week. I got burn't twice by a hitter that can absolutely kill the ball even when I played deeper in the field than normal, but I did make some good catches which helped my team in tough situation.
Also this week we played west which is our biggest rival they one the first game 6-3,but then we on the next game 3-1. That game I made some really good plays in the field,but not much luck at the plate. I got hit by a pitch and absolutely robbed by the shortstop, but we won one game that's all that matters. My average is now around 150 which is still bad but it's better than 100 batting average. My fielding percentage however went down. I have improved this week but I still have a long ways to go if I want to reach a 200 average. I have been working on not lunging when I'm batting which decreases my power which means I can't drive the ball to the outfield. I also need to go back to the gym to increase my strength and ability to be faster to beat throws from the infield. If I stay back on the ball and stop lunging I will get a lot more power in my swing. Hopefully the last three games go well,.

It's much better that you're getting out now by not striking out, but instead hitting the ball.
