Personal Narrative: My First Up To The Field

Baseball is a game I have been playing since the age of eight. Since then, I have been a phenomenal hitter. I was a right-handed hitter when I started playing baseball, and I was the best hitter in my age group. I always hit home runs when it was my turn to bat. The coaches who picked the teams argued about who would get the first pick because they all wanted to pick me first.

I enjoy playing the positions I play, and the sport itself. My favorite part of baseball is playing on defense. Defense is a fun time for me because it gets challenging. I like to play aggressively, attacking the ball and playing my best. When you play the best, you help your team out, and you can do things you never thought you could do.

I play softball because of the love I have for the game, and because of the feeling that takes my breath away every time I step onto the field. The softball field at Glendale Community College is now my new home for the next two years. Hearing your name being called and lining up alongside the first base line with your teammates before the game makes you feel worthy and excited to play such an amazing sport. As we gather in a tight circle just before we rush to our positions,

Baseball has always been called a game of mistakes. When you are batting you fail more often than not. You are considered a great player if you succeed only a third of the time. Yet to succeed, you must move past your failure and forget about it. When in the field you are likely to make an error at some point, it happens to everyone, it's about clearing your mind and moving on.

I love softball. In softball to a achieve a great swing you need to be inside the batters box. Then, lift your bat to your ear level, you take a step with your front foot, swing the bat and pivot your back foot while you are swinging. If these steps are followed correctly or not done in the right order, you should construct your swing and keep practicing. Just like an empire should.

“Baseball is soo easy. People play it because other sports are too hard for them.” one kid said. “You have no room to talk. You haven’t played baseball once in your life.

All you do is bat and ground the ball and through it to a person. You do have to run a lot. But compared to the rest of the rest of the sports baseball is the most laid back. I remember one game where I played third base and our team was so good no one got to third base so I just got to stand there and look pretty!

Batting practice was in an hour. In the first inning, I hit the ball in the gap and got a double. When I got on base, I stole third with one out in the inning. The next batter hit the ball to the outfielder, but it was right at the fielder.

The reason why i’m these positions is because I have a good arm to throw across the field and I can run to home base speedy quick. Once I get to the bases my teammates throw the ball to me so I can get the other team out so we can go hit. The reason I play first base is because I can catch a ball like that but not the ones that get thrown to the ground obviously. Where I play

Then next thing I know is there is two people in front of me before I am up to bat. So I get in my bag to get my batting gloves, helmet, and everything else I needed to go hit. I stand towards the front of the dugout till it is my turn to take some practice swings in the on-deck circle. The batter that was up got walked and now it was my time to do my pre-hit routine in the batters box. I took three swings, then stretch, then talked to people in the crowd to not sike myself out before

I can ask my mom or dad to take me to the field that way I can work on my mechanics. Asking my dad to hit ground balls to me will help me to become a better infielder. Playing catch, will also strengthen my arm and help me with the throw from second to first, or from shortstop to first. Part of my success, I owe to my batting and fielding coach, Danielle. She provides her knowledge of softball to make me a better player.

And people think that baseball is not an athlete's sport, but the bases are 90ft. And if you try to run all four of them it comes out to 360 ft. But if you are unathletic you are still given the chance to make an impact. Or I remember i saw this one kid that was missing a leg and he was striking everyone out and hitting home runs and stuff like that I have had many of good and bad experiences when I play. The bad experiences happen when I know

Softball. My favorite sport. It’s not a contact sport so, the chances of me injuring another player are slim to none. Or so i thought….. I was in Traverse City last year with my team for a softball tournament.

Right before I went out onto the field to play catch with two kids my dad nodded, "Good luck!" After we had warmed up the coaches had us catch pop ups. They hit the pop ups with a tennis racket. Next they had a hit. If we were not hitting we were in the field catching the balls that the other kids hit.

1. I need to practice more batting, flieding, backstop, pitching and raining if i do each of theses for 3 hours per week i think i will be able to move to the next stage. 2. i need to watch more professionals players do it and should see how is there movements and they do it because most of them do it by the right way. 3.
