    Interesting pitching instructional I havent seen before

    Interesting pitching instructional I havent seen before. Looks very old, demo looks good but instruction gets a little HE. Either way like I said one I haven't seen before.

    High School playing time/positions, How to ask...from the kid's perspective.

    DD is a sophomore and was the only freshman to make the team last year. She had very limited playing time her first year and was on the bench for the first 5 innings in this seasons 1st scrimmage. it Seems she has locked herself into being the back up 3rd base. During tryouts she didn't "get...

    First year 16u premier

    So my oldest has been selected for her org's 16u premier team. I understand that the purpose of this premier /showcase team is exposure but DD has been 2nd base for years and is now being primarily used at 3rd. She is admittedly not as good at third as she is at second and I believe she is being...

    I'm looking for any feedback from people that have used, tried or tested recent rocketech bats. I know they have a reputation of being a good bat, good in the cold, and decent pop and all that.

    What to do when catcher is obstructing.

    So my oldest got thrown out at home and said the catcher was obstructing. DD said she was straddling the line. DD went outside to go around and the throw came in right behind her and she was tagged in the back. Question I have is what would you teach? Run through her? Go inside and disrupt the...

    designating infield and outfield positions

    Younger daughter is on a new first year 12u team, I'm on the staff and head coach, other assistant and I are thinking of splitting the team into designated positions (infielders and outfielders) to speed up development so we can compete quicker. Currently we are trying to give equal work/time...

    Is the slip pitch a legal pitch?

    I'm sure I saw this discussion before but can't find it. I'm not sure if this link will work. The pitch I'm asking about is a change up that is delivered in the first motion forward with the pitching hand, releasing the ball and them continuing the windmill motion empty handed...

    Coach wants 2nd yr 14u player to convert to slapping

    I have recently backed out of coaching my oldest DD. she came back from practice stating she was told by the coach she is a slapper now and that was all she worked on in practice. She has never slapped before and is right handed. She has been hitting and bunting well this fall at no.6 slot, she...

    Decision time with 20+ player roster for mixed 1st 2nd year 14U team

    Folks, we are facing a decision on what to do with our team's decision to merge the rising players from 12U with the 2nd year 14U. I'm not sure of the total roster count only that it would be around 20. Right now I can't imagine what this is going to look like with playing time (other than a...

    First middle school game

    My daughter pitched the 2nd,3rd,4th innings in her first middle school game. She was put in at the start of the second and struck out the side and got a few more Ks in the other innings and allowed no runs. She also went 4-5 at the plate with 6 RBIs. I'm super proud of her!

    Pitcher head movement

    one of our pitchers has a really bad habit of leaning her head to the left during the pitch. not sure if anyone has a fix for this. I think it comes more from her trying to muscle the pitch vs being lose. any thoughts?

    SS or 2nd cover on the hit straight up the middle

    Had this come up for debate last night in practice. who covers 2nd with a ball straight up the middle. it's an easy decision when the ball is clearly right or left of center. My initial thoughts were the faster player our SS in this case should go out for the ball. alternative was stated that...

    I have been having an issue with a parent. So back story. Two years ago, he was the AC on my DD first spring LL team. He admittedly stated he didn’t know what he was doing but HC was a 2 daughter travel ball dad/coach that I trusted. That was the only time I didn’t assist or coach during the...

    2019 Louisville Slugger PXT

    DD used a team mates 2018 PXT and loved it. I found a good deal on the 2019 but the reviews I see say the internals break easy. Anyone have any experience with this bat?

    New team struggling to hit

    As the title states, I have a new team and we are struggling to hit in games and I'm looking for a 2 part answer. 1 I believe the consensus is live pitching to help with contact and swinging at strikes, anything else that would help with this? 2. They all have flaws in their swing that I would...

    catcher positioning for plays at home

    Looking for some views on catcher positioning for plays at home. I like to have my girls at the front of the box with foot on the third base corner. HC wants the girls to straddle home. Thoughts?
