18A Pitcher needed for Sparkler
Firecrackers Colorado 18A team has a need for a pitcher for the Sparkler. We are also registered for the Colorado Classic on the preceding weekend (June 27-28). We can help with travel costs, provide local lodging with a teammate, and help with recruiting. Please send an email to...- Indiana's DH

DD swing
We faced some fast pitching this weekend and a number of girls were over matched. I created a fastpitch version of the Pujols demo above to review at practice this week. The loopy swing on the left slides the hands (casts) and is late with the barrel. The compact swing on the right keeps the...- Indiana's DH

HELP.....Cannot keep wait back
Also try the rolling front toss drill. I just used it this week with an 18A hitter who was having this problem and it helped her: Rolling Front Toss - YouTube- Indiana's DH

Research into hitting fast pitching
Bit by bit I believe that I am putting together pieces of the "hitting fast pitching" puzzle. The most valuable piece has been going thru the process myself, as detailed in the original post. I strongly recommend that exercise for all coaches. My latest thought is about combining the mantra...- Indiana's DH

Research into hitting fast pitching
Research update: I've been watching the Oklahoma vs Alabama game and am replaying the swings and the takes in slow motion. What I am seeing is a coiling of the hips on the stride, and then an uncoiling of the hips into toe touch or right at toe touch, on every pitch. This may be a crucial aspect...- Indiana's DH

Research into hitting fast pitching
That's a good comment and worth discussion. Pat Harrison has a relevant piece for us that has been posted a couple times recently and shows up as "you time to arm to stride and you time the ball to swing": Hitting: Timing and Getting the Front Foot Down - YouTube Start at 4:30 and freeze at...- Indiana's DH

Research into hitting fast pitching
Background: I coach a first year 16A team. We were a decent 14B team last year, made the jump to 16A and we do well against pitching in the 55 MPH range but we struggle with contact near 60 MPH and up. We have no wins against pitchers above about 58 MPH and from this point forward in our season...- Indiana's DH

really bad loss..advice please
We had this happen a few weeks ago. The girls were visibly upset after the game, not crying but downright angry. I told them the best umpires, who make the fewest missed calls, are working in the NPF and when they are playing in the NPF, they should expect the umpires to be as near perfect as...- Indiana's DH

What a difference a good bat makes
The -11 and -12 are a lot more prevalent in softball than baseball. The boys playing travel baseball are swinging -10 and -9 at age 10, -8 at age 11, -5 by 13 and -3 in HS (14/15/16). There is no reason that 10U girls can't swing a -10. I agree with the statement that -11 and -12 bats should be...- Indiana's DH
