It is important to remind your brother that gross motor skills continue to develop in children, so he should be patient and not give up on his son's potential athletic abilities. It's possible that with practice and time, his son may improve in catching a baseball. It's important to encourage and support his interests, rather than push him towards a specific sport that he may not excel in or enjoy.
