Rays legend Seth McClung with some good parenting advice.
Parents, your 8 year old doesn’t need video hitting Analysis or Track Man, Rapsodo. Know what they do need? Dad Go play catch with them, tell them to get their butt down to catch a ground ball, set their feet to throw, get them a Tee to hit off of, throw BP, & get ice cream after
