^.^
There have been many new developements latly and Im kind of excited to talk about them.
First I'd like to say that my relationship with my girlfriend is going fantastic and and I love her so much! She's sweet and caring and smart and funny and everything I want in a girl. We've been together 4 months now and theyve been like the best 4 months ever for me.
I've been getting better and better at my baseball camp. I keep suprising everybody with how good I pitch since I lack good velo. I have recently developed a curveball whcih was taught to me by the pitching coach. He had me tape 2 baseballs together and throw them and try to get the baseballs to spin straight up and down. I can never get them to go straight up and down but i get it close enough and it helps me keep my hand on top of the ball ( I always had a problem with my curve turning into a slider) And I've been controling it so well latly. I can confidently throw any pitch at any time which is giving me a real edge agaisnt hitters. I can even throw a curve or a splitter in a 3-2 count which is hard to get confident with. I had to face about 7 guys saturday and i threw about 20+ at bats which was a lot in those types of sessions. the catcher actually had to ask if my arm was ok since I was throwing so much but I honestly felt completely fine. I spoke to Mike who is like the best hitter in the place ( and my biggerst rival there) he said I had everyone guessing so bad, they didnt know what was coming next. I think he has the most respect for me because he knows I actually want him to hit against me. which is new to him he's used to guys beign afraid of him but I would rather know how good I am by testingg my skills rather than hiding from challenge. He took me deep on one pitch. It was a splitter right down the heart of the plate which was my mistake I know better. I had to tell the catcher to set up inside on him because he likes setting up outside. On a guy like that you have to jam him so he cant get his arms around. Funny thing was Mike knew I said to set up inside. We both know that's his weakness and even knowing where the pitch will be he still grounded out weakly the next time up. another thing was when the owner of the camp had a bet going on who would be the best hitter agaisnt me and he lost no matter what because there were all terrible hahaha.
I also have a baseball session with my highschool. I pitched some there last monday and I did just as great I suprised the JV coach who was basically the pitching coach that day. The Var coach didnt see but I dont care wether or not I make the team this year. My father is starting a 18U legion team called the cyclones. I cant wait for it to start!
I got accepted into 3 colleges! Carthege college which is a private school in kenosha. University of Milwaukee White water which is in white water and University of milwaukee Wisconsin which is in milwaukee. I was happy i got accepted into 3 out of 5 of the colleges I applied to. And the other 2, One was Twin cities in minnesota... I turned that one in late so I am on a waiting list and the other one I applied to was mostly out of boredum.. its called Eureka college in illinois.
So I want to get Laura something special for valentines day. I dont know what though. But they sell flowers in her school so I plan to buy her 2 dozen and a suprise. After that I dont know... I'll think of something.
well thats all! See ya!
