Last week in a Pony game, the star player of the team was batting and tracked a slow breaking ball all the way into his foot. He had ample opportunity to simply lift his foot and avoid being hit. He starts running to first when I call, "Ball, stay right here!" The coach started to squawk, but I told him that he intentionally allowed the ball to hit him, and he had time to move his foot. The coach dropped the subject, and Superstar got back in the box.
Two pitches later, he hit a 2-run homer. The other night I had the bases in a tournament, and the kid was playing shortstop. He walked up while I was in C and thanked me for putting him back in the box!
