Development Note
Learning to stay ready
With limited playing time this fall, Nate is learning a different kind of baseball challenge: staying ready when his opportunities may be brief. It has been disappointing at times for a player who is used to being needed by his team all game, every game.
The message stays simple: whether the day brings one opportunity, a few innings or simply a chance to support his teammates, control the work, the preparation and the energy he brings. Practice can teach what to do; live game repetitions teach a player to recognize it and execute it under pressure. Through three tournaments, Nate has continued to produce when called on. His job now is to keep working, stay involved and make every opportunity count. This is part of the next stage of his development, and the challenge is his to work through.
