What are the best things I can do as a parent to encourage my son’s interest in baseball?

Have fun with it! Come up with fun games to work on youth baseball skills development rather than just running through baseball drills.

Also, keep in mind that youth baseball and youth softball are very difficult sports to play. A Hall of Famer from the Big Leagues gets 3 hits in 10 at-bats. What other sport can be successfully played with a 70% failure ratio???!!!
