    Finally...I Witnessed DD Going Deep

    Shameless Brag is right, cause this is going to be WAYYY over the top. I have always worked A LOT. My wife was laid off about 6 years ago, and we decided that our family would benefit more if she stayed home. I have had to pick up the slack by working more, which has led to my missing quite a...

    Secret to Hitting Against Faster Pitching

    DD plays on a 12u Travel Team. No matter what our team does, we always seem to struggle against faster pitching. We've done a lot of front toss (I will say that I think our HC doesn't throw hard enough) and a lot of drills. We don't want to put our pitchers in the circle throwing to them...

    DD Homerun #2

    One of these days, I'm going to be there when she does this. They were down 2-0. This tied it up. I love my 10 year old in the background saying "Good Lord." She wasn't there when she hit her first one. When asked if she wanted to keep the homerun ball, DD told her mom "Nah. If I keep all...

    12U DD Throw Down

    She looks great. Do you ever post any video of her in action? Looks like she's got some long slender arms. I bet she can let it fly...

    12U DD Throw Down

    The one thing I see in that video also is that this particular catcher drops her hand down and almost immediately brings it back up into harms way. I GET IT. Any exposure is bad exposure. Something I'm going to have to start working on with DD. Behind the mitt, making a fist right?

    12U DD Throw Down

    This is just a question. Does anyone have any video or stills of TOP TIER collegiate catchers/professional catchers/national team catchers with their hand behind the mitt in a throwing situation? I would like to see them if they are out there.

    12U DD Throw Down

    I've read about that a lot. I'm not a big fan of it, but that's just me. I'm not saying it's not the RIGHT WAY either. It may be something that we end up going to before it's all said and done. The "foot shuffle" I was talking about is the same thing you were talking about. I just couldn't...

    12U DD Throw Down

    Sorry. Not sure what happened there. See if this works. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGSlpIWDNNSFJVcUU/view?usp=sharing I tried the previous link and got the same message. This one worked.

    12U DD Throw Down

    Originally posted on 'Pop Time', but didn't want to hijack someone's thread. Here is a warm-up throw down from this weekend. As much as we play, she has a pretty good idea of who is going to try and swipe a bag and who isn't. Her footwork for those girls is different. In this video, she...

    11 Year Old DD 1st Homerun

    And then ALMOST hit another one. Better video this time... https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGWGpnSVBGYk5aeGc/edit?usp=docslist_api

    11 Year Old DD 1st Homerun

    I was at work, but the wife got the video of her swing. She's been banging balls off the fence for 2 weeks, and finally got one up in the air a little bit. 3 Run Shot. Ran around the bases at a full sprint and then jumped on home plate. So proud. Almost hit another one in her next at bat, but it...

    What do you mean by PUSH?

    Hitting with an attitude. I love that. I have shown my DD different clips of her hitting. Whenever she gets into the box, her body language can usually tell you what type of swing/hit she's about to have. They faced one of the better pitchers in the area this weekend, and she got into the...

    rdbass - Side View of 11u DD

    Second AB. Double down the left field line. Field is all turf. I wasn't there, but my wife said it got to the fence in a hurry. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGRlNlbmdxclZwb00/view?usp=sharing

    rdbass - Side View of 11u DD

    Her first AB tonight. Double into Right Center. Check out the rear leg. Is that a little better? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8iwjG6QC8tGaXpNNG5SeHFSX1E/view?usp=sharing
