Meet The Ohio State Buckeyes T-ball Team

These Westlake Recreation little leaguers are ready to play!

These t-ball players are mostly in the kindergarten and first grade, but who knows? Maybe they'll be the star athletes on their high school team.

And the kids aren't the only ones have a good time out on the diamond. The coaches are having a blast teaching youngsters the basics of baseball.

"The best thing about coaching T-ball is seeing the kids having fun out there, but more importantly seeing how much they learn," said coach Dan Havelka. "All of the kids have gotten better game after game. Some of the kids couldn’t hit, couldn’t throw, couldn’t catch but everyone’s dong a great job now so it’s just fun watching them progress."
