He taught me how to swing a bat, connect with the ball, and hit confidently off a tee.
He wasn't just my coach.
He was the one who made me feel secure on the field.
The idea of stepping onto the field without him by my side felt unfamiliar and unsettling, as if I'd lost a piece of what made playing baseball so special to me.
While I wanted to support my brother, I couldn't help but feel unsettled about what it would mean to play without my dad's guidance.
Though nervous about the change, I moved to the 10-year-old league with two energetic young coaches fresh out of college who quickly made me feel at ease.
After assessing my skills, I went from shortstop to second base, a change that irritated my dad, who had always positioned me at shortstop, but it proved to be the right call.
My arm wasn't strong enough for those long throws from shortstop, but at second base, I thrived on the field.
When it was time for me to step up to the plate to bat, I hit the ball consistently, sending it right over the second baseman's head for a base hit almost every time.
Then came our first scrimmage against the previous year's championship team.
We were ready.
Energized from practicing, feeling strong and prepared, but things didn't go as planned.
We got crushed 32-3.
Sitting in the dugout afterward, wiping away tears, my teammates could barely look at one another.
But our coaches didn't let us wallow.
Instead, they doubled down on the fundamentals.
Fielding, batting, teamwork.
We improved steadily, as did my confidence.
By season's end, my batting average was around .550, a number that would have made Babe Ruth proud.
Our team kept winning, climbing toward a rematch with that same championship team.
