Today's new low in starting a travel team

We had a 10U coach try to pawn a pitcher off on us this past fall. He said he had too many pitchers. She was going to be his number 4 and he felt bad that she wasn't going to get any circle time. When asked how she threw he said she threw 52MPH, had 5 pitches and threw strikes. REALLY, and she's your number 4?.

Anybody out there that would get rid of a pitcher with these creds in the 10U division? You can probably figure out how this tryout went.

Anyone can throw 50 at 35 feet! and that pitchin the dirt is a drop, the one over the catchers head is a rise, the one that hits batters is a screw, the one that hits the umpire is a curve....catch my drift. And its all the catchers fault!!

LOL

Yep, I can guess exactly how it went...

I wouldn't get rid of a pitcher with these creds in 14U and frankly at rising stars I saw several girls in 18U-A who couldn't realistically claim to have all those creds and they were still finding ways to be successful.

So yeah. I could win nationals with a 52mph strike thrower in 10U.

I know a guy that quit a successful insurance position, to start an indoor facility. In fact, I know 2 of them. The problem was, the dad knew nothing about softball. The daughters were 10 and lost interest about the time their dads jumped in with both feet. Neither facility survived very long.

I saw one practicing with a team, at a diamond next to me. I tried to tell him that his pitcher couldn't step backwards. he argued that she could. I felt like saying, "Let's see how this works out for you." They were playing ASA.

How can someone be so clueless to not catch the misspelling ?

Really, by the time you're a teenager, you already know if you can spell, so the only real answer is hubris.

It happens. I hate posting this link, but cannot resist.

I see this guy's posts frequently, too, but never the guy or his team. Are they really out there? (no pun intended)

would anyone here believe that our 12u team's #1 #2 and #3 all throw mid 50's with high's from 57 to 58?

Only if they are all named Ray Ray.
