    In some TB tournaments, you're lucky if the field gets re-lined between games..........

    Wild pitch vs passed ball

    Should it be a goal? Yes! Is it the gold standard? No! I totally agree with you concerning FP and lack of evolution concerning the advantage of utilizing a good defensive catcher.

    catchers helmets

    My dd used Wilson ProMotion gear and the Shock FX 2.0 helmet for 3 HS seasons and 3 TB seasons plus a fall session of college....approximately 300 caught games plus gobs of practices and clinics. The legs were replaced after the 2nd season due to a crack in the shin protector near a rivet. The...

    What is the rule on Pitcher Visits?

    That's right, the penalty doesn't happen until the 4th visit and whoever the pitcher is at that time I believe is done pitching for the duration of the game.

    What is the rule on Pitcher Visits?

    HP ump is correct. In softball, a coach is allowed 3 visits, and the pitcher must be replaced on the 3rd visit.

    Wild pitch vs passed ball

    It appears none of the below catchers come close to meeting your gold standard: Aubree Munro has 5 PB and Gators pitching has 25 WP. Aidan Falk and Alex Sobczak have 10 PB combined and Wolverine pitching has 25 WP. Reagan Dykes has 5 PB and Crimson Tide pitching has 12 WP. Janell Lindvall has...

    Why baseball is losing children

    I noticed Knothole was dying. It appears they only have 4 regions now. When I played there was almost 40 districts and no regions. TB and AABC has really taken its toll, not to mention kids focusing on one sport. About 10 years ago I was talking to Ron Oester (Former Cincinnati Red 2B). He...

    Wild pitch vs passed ball

    Funny NFHS doesn't mention the dirt behind home base, where FP Sponge states the ball is hitting. Concerning NCAA, so if the ball hit the dirt between the catchers feet it is considered a wild pitch?

    Wild pitch vs passed ball

    We would need to see video to determine whether the pitches should have been caught with normal effort.

    Why baseball is losing children

    The two largest leagues in Cincinnati are AABC (American Amateur Baseball Congress) and Knothole baseball. AABC is a national org and fairly new to the area and Knothole has been played in Greater Cincinnati since the early 1930's. Just north of Cincinnati in Hamilton Ohio there is a large...

    Atlanta Georgia Select Teams - Please advise - 16U

    Georgia Impact, Atlanta Vipers, and East Cobb Bullets were all very tough teams my dd's team played. All three orgs produce multiple D1 Major commits every year. Edited to add: I'm not from Georgia. This is an outsiders opinion.

    Doing team awards at last practice of the season.

    The spring sports banquet sounds cool. We had nothing like that. We had a "Meet The Teams" function at the high school where everyone in spring sports was introduced and each coach says a few words about their team. No drink, no food, and it was held in the gym. You guys are fancy compared...

    Doing team awards at last practice of the season.

    Congrats Softgabby! My dd's team and parent "get together" didn't happen until the season was officially over. That's where they handed out team awards, and conference,region, and state awards. The players never received participation trophy awards. There were a handful of occasions every...
