I like a 12 or 12.25. Pretty much any higher end glove will
be stiff and take break in time. I like heart of the hide but to be
honest I think my daughters all star broke in better than her
Rawlings. People like closed pocket for pitchers. I bought my
daughter a h web. She uses her 12.25 all...
My girl is now 16. She’s stopped travel but still will pitch for the hs team. 100 pitches a game is too much for her anymore. If a kid is conditioned for travel they can throw more. A seasonal kid needs to take it easy in my opinion. I never heard my daughter complain about her arm until her...
I see this at the hs level now. Dd is a sophomore. From what I’ve seen at the hs level is the coaches are part of the problem. Instead of making decisions like a coach they take surveys and stuff. Who should the starters be? Who should the team captains be? It’s supposed to be modern team...
Sounds rec like. Find a competitive school. They will have a feeder team looking for a few players. Won’t be free but will be much cheaper than a private travel team looking for profit.
Our D3 in town wants all our town kids. They offer great scholarships for good grades and my non softball 21 year old lives at home. About 6 blocks from campus. She’s cheaper than a state school and will be a teacher ,elementary Ed. Living at home has been a huge money saver.
No financial aid.
It’s all about play time for some kids. Some of the kids are basically at college to play ball. Why? I don’t know. If you have a D1 player that will sit the bench. Would you rather see sweet girl be the stud on D3?
I bet a good D3 team could beat a crappy D1.
I heard a local travel team 16u beat...
We have a small D3 that we’ve been around forever. It’s in our small town and has been a big part of Dd pitching experience. University players coached her on pitching for about 4 years in off season. The biggest things I noticed are D3 practice a lot. Maybe just as much as the higher levels...
We had a girl throw wild as can be. She pitched fast and wild. Nobody could hit her. They either got walked or out. Lots of walks. Drove everyone crazy watching. It was terrible. Her mom would yell directions to her. Anyway , I’d rather watch a game with kids hitting in rec.ball.
The wild girl...
