I have created a website service that is adding information daily about baseball and techniques and best practices. I suggest you take a look at the article on "Fielding" at http://theprospect09.googlepages.com and feel free to email me with any questions at [e-mail]. This is a professional service that I provide for the public so that we can educate kids just like you who are trying to pursure their dreams. Good luck and hope to hear from you.

You must have a pretty stuck-up school if they cut grade schoolers.

Go to the batting cages and hit off the 50-60 MPH pitches. 70 if you're good at the slower ones. Your muscles are now starting to develop, so start working out. Oh yeah. Work your as...uh...butt off. Be determined to make the team. If you do get cut, don't give up. Keep working to get better.

I play softball so practice running, going to the batting cages try hitting at about 60 MPH, practice catching grounders and pop flies
