My DD is second year 14U and plays on a pretty strong regional team and a freshman in high school. Looking for suggestions on how to "get on time" or "time the pitcher" while hitting in games. Overall, she had a decent batting average but still struggling to make any improvements in timing...
Thanks for the response. She's had a couple colleges contact her on 9/1 and went on a couple visits, but no offers they told us still wrapping up the '23 class and first '24s are pitchers. They told us this in advance. Following their social media 23's are still committing. Were just running...
Thanks for the response will try to address all your points:
1. To keep our teams as strong as possible, our organization has one "premier/national" team in 14U/16U/18U. They had a guy who was the recruiter for these teams, he had college coaching experience and already had relationship with...
My older DD plays on a competitive regional travel team. Her coach is in process of establishing relationships with college coaches. We have several D1 schools that have told her at camps that they are interested in her. Her travel coach has tried to contact the college coaches but hasn't had...
Appreciate all the comments! Looking for the specific rule for both college and high school / travel ball is for my reference and to share with the players and parents. Not looking to argue with the umpires and the parents are pretty chill and most stay in the outfield.
It's tough to make...
This is what I was looking for, the rule number for NCAA. Would there be a rule like this for travel / high school that states your foot could be partially on the line without any issues?
Playing in a 14U fall league for our team to get reps in between our tournaments. We have 3 slappers on the team and are getting called out because ump is saying that they are out of box. First off, our team is a young 13U team and seems like they are calling strikes about 2 balls off the...
This is what we've been talking about for awhile and I guess just keep trying. Staying positive with her don't want to add any extra pressure. I just told her trust your swing and see what happens.
So my 14yo can hit off the tee and front toss and crushes it. Get in the box and hesitates to swing or doesn't swing at strikes. When I ask why she's not swinging I get "not sure" or I don't know" responses. Staying positive with her but just want to try and figure out what the issue is so we...
That's what we were thinking. She just wants to make a good impression and doesn't want to confuse the coaches. She's never really been consistent on the right side anyway and was probably should have made the move to the left side last year. At least she seems to be making very good progress...
She's been on the right for last 4-5 years and hasn't been consistent. The past year she's been talking about going to the left side. Over the summer she hit off the right while ramping up on the left side. Since august been basically full time on left side but hits a few buckets on the right...
No official time other than at college camps and they are getting her best time was 2.78 but is around 2.8 at the camps and that's pretty consistent with what I'm getting on my iPhone. To try and stay consistent, I'm starting on her time on first step.
Yes, she is still hitting on the right...
My DD is playing second year 14U for a competitive regional travel team. Se decided to switch to the left side over the summer and is making good progress with bunting and slapping. Looking for recommendations on how to inform the college coaches that she relatively new to the left side as she...
