When I took him to disrupt his first Antifa rally.

oldest son was probably around 2-3 ish.
youngest one a lil younger because he wanted to be like his older brother.

youngest one naturally swung lefty off a tee. wouldn’t even try to swing right handed.
when i started “pitching” to him, he just naturally moved to the right side and hasn’t swung from left side since.

If your kid didn't come out of the womb with a bat in hand then it's already too late.

When did I teach? Pffft, that's what private coaches are for.

My oldest started showing interest at 5. Someone gave us an old tee and he’s been doing it every month or so for about a year. Just started tee ball at 6 for the first time and it’s surprisingly carried over well. Just let them do it as long as they’re interested and don’t force it.

He’s not quite 2 yet, but that’s the age I thought might be good to introduce him to it.

Throwing the ball is by far his favorite thing to do. It can be 20 degrees and snowing, all he wants is to stay outside and throw. Not sure if he’s right or left, does both and I’m not going to push either.
