    First Basemen Question

    Doesn't this depend entirely on how quickly and cleanly she fields the ball? Sounds like people are responding with automatics...and this doesn't seem like an automatic situation at all.

    Is it softball or fastpitch?

    You haven't played 16-inch slow pitch in Chicago, have you?

    one knee drill...

    Well, JJsqueeze gimmick account radar was accurate. "All Day" is not the pitching coach for Belmont Abby (unless there is another BA somewhere). I also see "banned" over the name, so I guess this is old news. Anyone know how or why? I read some other posts and didn't see anything glaring.

    one knee drill...

    I hope this is who he says it is too! My DD is a student of his... We'll be seeing him Sunday - tomorrow.

    check this out

    And then be sure to slap your thigh and grunt milliseconds after the ball leaves the chute.

    Big League World Series

    Did anyone see this game as it aired lived on ESPN3 (or WatchESPN app)? This softball game airing on ESPN3 would not have this filter in place for the live broadcast. The blurred video was done in post-production after the fact for it's on-demand and re-air purposes. If this event actually...

    Do you use a pitching machine if your practices

    I would think the biggest part of hitting live pitching is timing. How can you practice all the timing nuances of hitting when there is no human to read? Even with front toss and side toss, hitters get timing from the throwers motion. I've seen coaches stand next to a machine and put their arm...

    Big League World Series

    Is there video of this anywhere?

    LL 5'3" Montana pitcher throwing 63....Really?

    Where is this discussion? Link please. As someone who works for ESPN, I can assure you that ESPN would not condone inaccurate data. What is more likely is that the organization who is running the event has the 'inaccurate' radar. Watch the final 30 seconds of a broadcast to see who is actually...

    When is a pitched ball complete?

    Can't an ump deem a batter to have not swung at a pitch? Similar to a check swing judgement call, or maybe more like along the lines of a practice swing... Where it is obvious that the batter was not swinging at the pitch? I.e. just because you're swinging the bat didn't mean you're swinging at...

    10u goes yard

    Wow! What is the ratio of all 10u "A" girls that can hit homeruns (over the fence homeruns obv)?

    infield fly call

    It should be called "infielder fly rule". It has nothing to do with where the ball will be caught and everything to do with by whom the ball should be caught.

    video camera

    The flagship cell phones out now that have a "SlowMo" mode (e.g. Galaxy S5, iPhone 5, HTC, etc) all do an excellent job of quick grab-from-your-pocket-and-shoot for analyzing hitting, pitching, and other mechanics when your able to be right up close. Coupled with software such as Coach's Eye and...

    How about this umpire?

    Meh, the league asked him to do it for a particular reason and he is obliging. The league and the coaches are not only ok with it, they've asked him to do it more and more. Good for him.

    Look back rule on a walk

    Scenario: Runner on 3rd, batter draws a walk, P has ball in circle waiting, BR touches and rounds first. Now P makes what is deemed a play on the runner at third by pump-faking a throw at the runner rounding 1st, but never leaves the circle, and runner at 3rd starts towards home. Is this a...
