First Games of the Year!

I had my first two baseball games this past Saturday(3/29)! It was great to finally quit talking about the season and get out there and actually work a couple. I will not lie however, it was chilly and very windy which made it worse. I was at Bethany Christian (Goshen, IN) for a Varsity double header vs Fremont (Fremont, IN). It was a pretty simple outing. Fremont won both games. The first one 10-0 and the second one 6-5.

I had the plate for the first game and was very pleased with my performance. I had a good consistent stike zone and had no complaints from either side.

The second game was much closer and I was on the bases. I had quite a few close pick off attempts at first base. Other than that, the game was pretty standard.

I do have a question for all of you out there in baseball land. What do you do with the batter's boxes? Do you keep them as is? Do you brush them out? I ask you this because it was a topic at one of my association meeting and I'm just curious about what you all do. I brush out all but one line of the box, the back one.

Let me know! Hope your seasons have started as well as mine!

Why would you brush the batter's box chalk out? I guess I see no sense in that.
