depending on your age, and how long you plan on playing, it may be better to invest in a high quality glove. The A2000 are more expensive, they run about 250, but it can last you many many years, the only thing you'll need to do is relace it (we like to clean our gloves from time to time). I...
So our Jugs jr has been broken for a few years, it still works, but only fires at max speed, which according to my ballcoach is 65-63 mph. That speed is fine for travel, but playing HS ball, I need to reduce the speed (and the knob does nothing when turned).
I called Jugs and ordered a new...
Not directly but I'm going to say yes because he's put us in position for these schools to see her. There's been a few connections made at showcases, a D2 school talked to her, and a top 10 NAIA team was very interested, they even pulled her off the field while she was on base and they had to...
I'd be just as happy if she went D3 or NAIA as long as her school is paid for. She's a 4.0 student, so it doesn't need to be athletic money. She's played SS, 2nd and OF. She's actually played quite a bit of SS, but probably 75% of her TB has been at 2nd base.
Also FTR, the team I'm...
My girl has played on good teams before, her 14u team was a PGF premier team, top 10 in Alliance. Even the team she is on now, plays some good competition once in a while, and her HS team faces a lot of D1 committed pitchers. My girl can definitely hit, but she doesn't have HR power, her game...
spoke to a member on the phone yesterday and got some great insight and a new perspective.
For those suggesting there's other teams we could pick, you're absolutely right, I guess I left out that I do really respect the coaches of her current team, so if we left, it'd have to be a unique...
she's a small girl 5'3, and has played on some good teams, so 2nd base fit her, but as far as her size, she has a good arm, she understands using arm slots, her arm is definitely not a liability.
Non competitive = we get crushed versus good teams, we lack top pitching and have some girls who probably don't even belong in TB. The team practices aren't pushing my girl enough and even though she did get a lot out of it the past year, not as much now.
This team is top because they're good...
