Answer
Hi Tamara,

Sure, I'll help you out.  Something you can say to your friends is that no matter how good you are, there is always something new you can learn.  

Everyone starts out like you.  It takes time, practice and patience to learn baseball.  Don't give up and keep trying to learn.

One important thing to remember:  

Baseball is a matter of inches.  You can hit the ball out of the park with a good swing, but if you swing the bat too early, you can miss the ball by just an inch and get a strike.  It takes practice, practice, practice.

You can throw the hardest, most perfect pitch to 1st base and if the runner happens to get on base by a fraction of a second, your perfect throw won't matter.  

Ask lots of questions.  The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.  I hope your friends have the right attitude and want to help you.

Listen to your coach and ask for help when you need it.  I have lots of shy players who don't ask.  Fight that shyness and just ask.  Your coach will be glad you did.  I know I would!!!!

Send a question and I'll do my very best to answer you.

Good luck,

Coach John
