This March through May Tatum played his first season of little league baseball. He had practices twice a week and games twice a week...you can imagine how much time we spent at the baseball field! He played outfield, second base (occasionally...not as much as he would have liked though) and he was the star pitcher on the team. The first time they put him in to pitch he only threw 13 pitches because he hit 2 batters. I think he would have been fine...he was getting used to pitching from a mound for the first time ever. Well the next time they put him in to pitch he showed them his stuff...the past was now history! He ended up being the most consistent and accurate pitcher they had on the team. Tatum got 3 game balls for his pitching! The last game of the season Tatum came in as the relief pitcher with bases loaded...he struck out the next 3 batters...1...2...3...throwing only 12 pitches! The inning following that he struck out the next 3 batters again...throwing 13 pitches. Then the last inning he struck out the next 2 batters with 7 or 8 pitches...I don't really remember what happened after that except that my jaw was dropped in amazement!! Travis and I are going to try and get a small video of one of his games on the blog...
