I coach 12U Rec and All Star level softball in San Diego, and I’m naming a captain next week when Spring jerseys are handed out. I have a team full of mostly 6th graders, but our catcher is a very mature, focused, and quiet 7th grader. I want to to reward her for her professional and focused...
Will be interesting to see exit velocity data on the new GA and how the changes to the inner and outer barrels that @CoreSoftball20 detail above effect performance. The 2020 GAs are the hottest bats I’ve seen but obviously durability was suspect, at best. I hope Easton didn’t sacrifice much...
DD is a 2028 who just moved from 10U to 12U this fall. Team is dark for 6-8 weeks, so I’m trying to determine the best use of that time. She threw 252 innings in 2021, so I’m debating whether to give her 6 weeks off to completely rest, or to keep throwing short bullpens (2-3 days a week) just...
