    Facemask

    DD had an Evoshield that her HS coach gave her and the velcro that attaches the chin piece came off. She threw the mask away and since I didn't buy it I'm not sure what she is talking about. It had a different material as the chin piece (the cloth makes her break out) but not sure what. I can't...

    Illegal pitch called

    Our catcher calls the pitches by calling out the number on the card (different). They called an illegal pitch for not simulating getting the signal from the catcher. The catcher actually calls the pitch. Weird

    FC or Hit

    Batter bunts the ball and is going to be safe easy. The pitcher throws home and runner should be out but the catcher drops the ball. Not a force out. What’s the official ruling?

    Mental

    I kinda visualized what I needed to correct between pitches. Just something I did, nobody ever talked to me about it. As a former football coach we did a lot with visualizing situations prior to games, wondering if anyone uses a method between pitches with their hitters.

    Powerhouse Mechanics

    Anyone know much about what they teach? I saw somewhere that he teaches that pinky and 4th finger snap and then the middle and index but not sure exactly what he is talking about. Also, decelerating the arm but not much info on what he teaches as far as deceleration.

    Umpire stance

    Not a rule but thought this would be the correct place to ask. I have noticed that when a LH batter comes to bat the umpire switches to the other side of the catcher in our area. They may have always done this but I'm a LH hitter and do not remember them switching sides when I batted. It seems...

    Diamond Kinetic

    Thinking about getting a Diamond Kinetic ball just for spin rate. Does it work well enough for that? Is it hard to set up?

    Allen Wrench

    Bonds X factor

    Thoughts on Barry Bonds talking about the X factor. Where the front shoulder and the back kip are connected and the stride leg and back hand. Can't remember where I saw him talking about it.

    Pulling off

    If you have a hitter constantly pulling off the ball or dumping the barrel by either pulling the front shoulder out or raising the front shoulder- has anyone ever taught to separate or have the front elbow and shoulder work independently? Thoughts

    Wilson Gloves

    Looking to possible get a Wilson glove, A2000 12 inch with a closed web or an A2K 12 inch with a closed web, thoughts? Never owned a Wilson glove. Fits my DD hand better than Rawlings. Love her Marucci and may buy another.

    Sprained ankle

    DD has rolled her drive leg ankle while dragging up. Yes back leg. With it being her drive leg what should I be looking for to make sure she is ok to pitch again? She is close to being ready if only playing first but worried about the push and pitching.

    OU vs. Texas Bats

    I walked in during the 7th inning and it looked like OU were using the Mantra and a black Rawlings (didn't look like Meta). Each Texas hitter had PC. Can they both use Rawlings and Mizuno now?

    Strike?

    Throwing a movement pitch. If the ball barely nips the front corner of home plate and doesn’t go over the back edge is it by rule a strike

    Clap bat
