You can teach him to catch a baseball if you start with a small beachball and tell him he has to catch it with both hands, then gradulally move to a smaller ball till you get to the baseball.

As far as hitting goes, start with a tennis racquet then a fat wiffle ball bat, then a baseball bat, and start with the small beach ball then work down. I did this with my son (then 3) and he does great now (6).

As far as the tee goes, never used it with him, went straight to the pitched ball - he is the only kid on his team that can hit a pitched ball. I think it has to do with the "step-down" process.

BTW - my boy thinks that baeball/teeball is boring, most of the kids can't hit and the ones that do don't hit out of the infield. I think it is a bit young for them to start but...
