The Hitting Zone

"Hey Jake, want to go see his bullpen?" Noah asked me. We had finished eating for awhile and were just sitting around, soaking up some vitamin D from the sun.

He overheard Noah. He smiled. "I'll show him. You guys want to tag along? It's been awhile since you've seen it all." He laughed a little in a self-depreciating manner. "Dad had just redone it all so I could start throwing again. It looks way better than before." He stood up.

"I definitely want to see!" Dave jumped up in excitement.

Zeke got up as well. Everyone followed Rhys as he showed me the backyard. The pool was a rectangular shape and didn't have any toys nearby. Instead it had styrofoam weights which Rhys explained, was for his rehab. He was building up his strength again and the pool was where he liked to do most of his workouts.
