Game pace is strictly up to the coach. I don't think wristbands change the game if the coach has a clue what they are doing. The same coaches calling out wristband numbers with two strikes and two outs and nobody one are the same coaches who will be giving 20 seconds worth of signs in the same...
A couple ideas for wristbands.
When I make them and laminate them I make them in pairs of colors. For example one side is red, the other side is blue. If we get in a situation where we have exhausted calls, we can just flip them over and change between innings. We also will change sides of the...
It looks like a lot of these pitchers get close to ‘coiling’ with their lower body. Drive foot toes and knee point to 3B for righties, 1B for lefties before the back leg/hips drive through. Not much heel over toe.

These mechanics look very similar to hitting. Using the the back leg to 'snap' the hips in place to lead the upper body.
Would these mechanics be easier to teach. Lots of carry over from hitting, throwing overhand, ect...
My biggest issue with chasing is that you are giving up bases everywhere else in the field.
If the defensive player is able to take a couple of steps and put the tag on, that is not chasing.
As soon as you are running at a player that is 10 plus feet away from you, no one is going to catch...
In my opinion and experience having players run at runners while trying to throw is a recipe for bad throws. Feet aren’t set and most of the time you are throwing over top runners. Some throws even hit the runners. Even if the defensive player makes a good throw then the player catching it has...
I teach rundowns the same way I did as a baseball coach. My guess is that is 100% opposite of almost everyone here.
We do not chase runners with the ball unless we can put a tag on immediately. If my defensive player is unable to put a tag on the runner she clears herself to get a throwing...
Well her velocity has really increased the last week, but her control has gone away.
She has developed a nice bruise on her hip, is that normal or what does she need to change, she is obviously get brush interference. Is it too much?

I appreciate the analysis. Whats funny is she has never been taught throw with HE, everything has been IR but as she gets to more high intensity throwing the arm definitely muscles up. She had mark on her hip last night from the Brush Interference. Just need that arm to relax to get more whip...
