    Leaping? Or replanting?

    I’m thinking it will help the catcher. Closer to the plate

    Leaping? Or replanting?

    Will leaping impact base stealing?

    Pitching and Catching same practice glove side injury?

    DD was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome at around 12. Under Purple Hand post. It was her glove hand. She is a senior now and when sore normally on her glove side shoulder blade area. I think some of it is genetic and some probably because how much force she uses on her glove hand/arm...

    Cost of college and scholarships

    May have been covered. My DD is a pitcher and is going the JUCO route. She should finish her AA during her freshman year. D1 JUCO has housing and she has a full ride. The conference beats a lot of D1 schools. Her team played Auburn, FSU, MS State, UF, AL, FAMU and LSU in the fall and won some...

    Developing Fastpitch Pitchers: The Speed v Accuracy Debate

    Obviously you need to coach both and never discourage throwing hard. IMO, genetics plays a part in how to train kids also. If your DD is not going to be a flame thrower you better teach location and spin as the priority but always search for the extra mile. My question, what speed makes college...

    Only being used as a Pinch Runner

    Definitely happening in our area with high academic kids. Especially if the can run and throw. Switch to the left side and slap. I know 3 kids that are playing because of grades and speed.

    Arm out early

    I would start with bringing her glove more into her body and gather as she moves forward. Focus on being off the pitching plate when the ball reaches to 3 o’clock

    What ultimate pitching level for your daughter do you hope your and her efforts and commitment will achieve?

    DD is only 5.3 so it was going to be really hard for her to pitch at the D1 level but she was constantly told that we will give her every opportunity possible if she practices 4x a week. Also told constantly that it's up to her if she wants to play or not. All she ever said was that she wanted...

    Exercises to make backswing more consistent/ straight?

    Brush thumb side back and forward and release. Brush, brush, brush. Does the ball go over her shoulder at the top? If so not that big of a deal. If not, it needs to be corrected at the bottom.

    Left-handed Pitcher, what say you?

    A kid in our area has a great curve ball and most umpires give her a little off the plate. RH hitters can't touch it. Now she is around 62 and a good change also but they can do anything with the curve that's off the plate.

    What are your go-to methods for learning to hit spots?

    When young- up close and hit a dot on an object. I think this helped tremendously later

    Prohitter, Thoughts?

    Hitting guy in our area loves Jacks batting gloves. I think it's kinda the same as the thumbpro. I never used batting gloves. Hate the feel of them.
