Now that the regular season has finished, here is a short video highlighting the Astros team and 2012 baseball season. As I told the kids the other night, it was fun getting to know them all, and my privilege to coach them for a year. Although our won-loss record was not great (4-12), considering we were a very young team (only two 14 year olds, and 2 players that were actually young enough to play in the 11-12 league), I think we developed and played well in most of our games. In fact, other than 4 or 5 games, I think we had a legitimate shot at winning almost every other game. It was just a few little things here and there that held us back. In any case, it was nice seeing the kids improve their skills over the season (and me as a coach). Although the regular season is over, we still have a chance to make some noise in the year-end tournament that begins July 9. After defeating the regular season champion Cardinals last night, I feel pretty good about our prospects (although three of my players will be gone).
Posted below the video are the final, regular season team statistics. Before our first playoff tournament game, I will announce a few awards, including:
1) Most Valuable Pitcher: ______________ 2) Most Valuable Hitter: ______________ 3) Most Valuable Player: ______________
