The mid major in which my DD plays only watched her pitch in one tournament. I think she pitched two complete games that weekend and came in relief in a third game. At the end of the tournament, HC asked her to consider a visit. DD did some research, set up a visit, and was offered on the visit...
DD decided to forego her senior high school season, graduated in December, and joined her college team in January. This fall/winter, she thought she was preparing for the load by lifting three days a week and pitching three to four days straight (45 min or so) before taking a recovery day. Some...
I wondered this myself when I found out how much DD was throwing. She is a freshman (mid D1) and prior to the season was pitching 45-60 min bullpens or live bp everyday except their off day. The off day varied each week, so this meant there were a couple of stretches where she pitched eight or...
DD's teammate's mom had a heated bleacher seat at a tourney this fall. The temp was cold, and I was jealous. I can't remember what brand she had, but here is a similar one:
DD is a 2023 pitcher who originally focused on high-academic D1 schools, mostly in the northeast. She received a handful of emails and one call on September 1st. The schools had already watched her play, but the conversations were exactly as Orange Socks said, "...we like you and want you to...
Yes, DD (2023) called her own pitches for the first time this weekend at a showcase tournament. They use wristbands, and she signaled the numbers before stepping on the rubber. Several different numbers for each pitch, and no one must have picked up on them because DD threw a no-hitter in her...
After a ten-minute Google search, I could not find a rule which addresses the following, so I thought it would be easier to ask on DFP rather than continue my searching:
In tonight's high school game, a player let go of the bat on her swing. The bat goes straight at the pitcher and hits the...
When I tore my ACL in high school playing basketball a long time ago, my doctor told me soccer and skiing accounted for the most ACL tears. I did a quick search to see if this is still true, and it is. As far as ACL injuries at the high school level, girls' soccer accounts for the most ACL...
Being the parent of a pitcher, I definitely prefer 3 outs per inning with a run limit. At 10u, even if your pitcher can throw strikes, she will still be looking at throwing 50-60 pitches per inning if you bat ten players in the inning. That is a lot of consecutive pitches for a ten-year-old...
In the Baylor/Stephen F Austin game last night, Baylor's starting pitcher was shown in the 67-68 range, the second pitcher was in the 70-73 range, and the third pitcher, Holman-Mansell , was consistently showing speeds of 76-78 on the screen.
Does anyone know if Georgetown is having a season this year? I cannot find a 2021 schedule online, and the link from the Big East page does not work for them. They are the only team in the conference not having played a game, yet.
Thanks.
In the fall of 1991, I went to Northern Kentucky University's open tryouts never having seen fastpitch before that day. Somehow, I made the team, and by sophomore year, I was the starting left fielder. I had played slow-pitch my whole life because that was all that was around in our area. I did...
I thought about this thread while watching a phenomenal three-sport athlete during our high basketball sectional tournament last night. I was in awe of her during volleyball season and saw last night that she is an even better basketball player. This girl is only 5'8 and doesn't have a lot of...
Here is a conditioning workout I had our high school team do at the start of our open gym last night. The practice was in a gymnasium, so down and back was actually the width of the gymnasium with bleachers in, which was a little shorter than the length of the court. After spending a lot of...
