Met a guy yesterday at a baseball game. He was talking softball so I joined in the conversation. He was very mad and so I asked what was on his mind. He said his daughter had taken a very hard shot to the face ( pitching ) and knocked out a tooth.
He was cussing up one side and down the other about the 43' move in school ball. He admitted that his DD is just an average pitcher and she is getting hammered. He said he is taking pics and sending a long letter to NFHS about all these potential injuries that may come as a result of the 43 move.
I went to our HS pre-season tourney last weekend. And did see more hits all day than I am use to from the old 40'. From all levels of pitching.
The guy did have an interesting opinion so I thought I'd share. He said, " if the batters put in the same hours per week that most of our daughters put in pitching there would be no reason for 43' at any level."
