Can you please pray for my son’s baseball tryouts which are on Saturday, Feb. 22nd. He has been playing baseball since he was six. He didn’t make the winter baseball team. His coach told him he played excellent in the field but needed to be a stronger hitter. This particular coach likes big kids. My son is unfortunately one of the smallest. He just hasn’t hit the massive growth spurt that some of the other freshman have. He is a great player and I would think most coaches would love to have him just because of his determination and ability to overcome adversity. He is very nervous about the tryouts. I told him to pray and ask God to help him not to worry and to help his skills shine through at the tryouts.

Thanks and God Bless
 
I will pray for him. Tell him to read about Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox - Coaches at all levels had the same initial issues with him and his size - but he overcame those doubts due to hard work and tenacity.

I will keep him in prayer. Remind him of Phil Rizzuto. When he was in high school he tried out for the Dodgers and manager Casey Stengel told him he was too small and go get a shoeshine box. Of course Rizzuto went on to play for the New York Yankees and was the starting ss on the Yankee teams that won five straight World Series (49 - 53) under manager…yep…Casey Stengel. 🙂
 
Lord, please send angels to help guide and carry this son through this baseball endeavor, and by it, may he draw closer to you and learn virtues like faith, hope, love, courage, joy, and wisdom and fortitude always. May he be successful and recognized as such in these tryouts in accord with the Father’s merciful will. Shine divine light ever into his life, that he might easily navigate the paths of this fallen world. Redirect divine light through him to others as a witness to your glory. Grant many graces and help always to this whole family. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.

I understand, my son plays baseball too. Lord please help Op’s son stay calm, play with confidence and do his best. Help the coaches see his work ethic and attitude.
Do you have access to any indoor batting cages? If so and able to, take your son there until Feb 22. Just get him swinging and swinging. My son has improved his hitting this way because hitting was his weakness too. The more you hit, the better you get.
 
May St. Sebastian, patron saint of athletes, intercede for your son at his baseball tryouts.

Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.

St. Sebastian, pray for us!

Praying for you son to do well on the tryouts.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
