I'm not trolling you. This is EXACTLY what I said:I’m starting to think you are trolling me.
You said that on a charged ball you should never field the ball between the legs. I showed an example of a time it was fielded in the center of the body and a time it was fielded on the arm side. I never addressed whether it was fielded one hand or two handed or really the original video at all other than to say her arm action was actually pretty good (with no regard to the type of throw).
I don’t care for the original video posted either, but I only addressed the comment about fielding off the glove side being the only way to field a slow roller.
"That being said, there's a couple things that I would teach differently. Since he's teaching the huge step, I assume this is an outfield throw. For OF, field the ball outside of your glove leg. Regarding arm path, there's not enough scap retraction, I like a more "W" position for the arms and body if viewed from above.."
I said this because the fielding and throwing demonstrated in the video shows OUTFIELD techniques, but as I originally indicated, I thought that the player didn't exhibit a high level arm path for the OUTFIELD. You are not going to see an arm path like this in a book like High Level Throwing which I bought and believe that it is well respected here and everywhere in the softball and (to a lesser degree) baseball world.
When the OP clarified that this is for an infielder, well that opens up a whole 'nother can of worms. I don't like that arm path for an INFIELDER either.
12yo's can play to a crazy high level. My DD was lucky enough to be coached by heavy hitters in the softball world, they held their teams to high level techniques. I feel it's better to teach them right the first time, even if it is more difficult in the short term.
I feel like my replies could easily be misinterpreted as me picking on the player and the coach, so I will politely slink out of this thread. I applaud any effort to teach these kids the game, whether it aligns with my opinions or not.
