    Should physical strength be measured

    I am somewhat bothered that all the medicine ball references in the literature go back to this single Szymanski study. What about [1], which saw no difference in bat speed when adding med ball programming to 8-13 year-old softball players? I say this as someone who is actually a big fan of...

    Pitching Power info w/video

    A message to coaches from a pitching instructor.

    I'm coming from the opposite place working with players in middle and high school. Meaning, athletes come out for softball who are brand new to the game and have no outside instruction or experience. Some are interested in pitching and I would LOVE to feel confident about starting pitchers "on...
