"What?" Noah looked disgusted. "I'm not going to catch for you. I play shortstop, dummy."

Some of the guys laughed at Noah's outright refusal.

"I shine just fine at short, thank you." Noah rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you ask Kyle then?" Noah shot back. "He's your brother too. That has also caught for you."

Coach pursed his lips and looked to Mitchell. "Can Noah wear your equipment?"

"Of course!" Mitchell nodded immediately. 

"Put it on!" Coach said firmly to Noah. "The rest of you, get out there and be ready to play some baseball!"
