    We have the infield trainer. The Valle gloves are actually pretty nice gloves for being just a “trainer”.

    I used to have to go back after every game and fix all the mistakes in the book.

    NFHS Pitcher Win/Loss when pitching 5 innings

    Do high schools have “official scorers”? Usually just a parent volunteer.

    Makes sense - thanks for the reply. We didn’t have composite bats long when I was coaching high school baseball before we went to bbcor.
