    Pitching clinincs

    I'm biased but, I'd go see Bill Hillhouse. You can see his schedule on his website. While I know he does some clinics, I think most of his weekends are 1-1 lessons rather than group clinics. I know people book 2-3 lessons (private lessons) with him over a weekend. And he gets a lot of...

    Hillhouse health update

    I just got an email about our friend Bill Hillhouse who has some unfortunate news about his health which we all know hasn't been great. He put up a separate go fund me since his insurance is not covering the treatments. I am going to donate what i can, I hope those on here will do what they...

    Happy Birthday Bill Hillhouse

    According to Facebook, June 22 is Hillhouse's birthday. Hopefully those that have not already sent to his Go Fund Me will do so with the birthday spirit. I see it's not looking good for his goal. I've donated a few times (anonymously) I hope others will be kind and giving. I've not...

    Best announcer lines from CWS, 2017 edition

    ASA does have different bat regulations than ISF. I would suspect that WCWS, played at ASA stadium, is using ISF rules. ISF also uses Mizuno softball in official competition. interestingly enough, the Mizuno softball is not available in the American market. That's right, Mizuno usa...

    Coach White talks replay

    https://https://www.alsfastball.com/news/11734/308/Kiwi-coach-Mike-White-calls-for-video-replays-at-College-Women-s-World-Softball-Series.html Mike White's post game thoughts. Can't say I argue the umpires have been horrible.

    Barnhill-Collegiate Player of the year. #usasoftball

    I liked Hillhouse's idea last week that allows the runners on base to leave at the forward motion of the pitcher. That would automatically force pitchers to get ride of that motion, wouldn't it? CG

    Barnhill-Collegiate Player of the year. #usasoftball

    Am I missing something here? I don't see the opponents complaining about her "hop". You'd think the coaches would be all over her if this was as bad as some here are saying. Moreover, these umpires are supposed to be the cream of the crop to be assigned the WCWS (although I think the...

    Hillhouse fundraiser for coaches

    Jamie this is a great idea to benefit both Bill and coaches out there. I know some only watch the stuff on Youtube but maybe this price package will inspire them to purchase the set to help Bill and themselves with pitching instruction. I've always believed his are the best videos for...

    Hillhouse update

    Hey all, I got an email yesterday from Bill's wife saying he has been hospitalized again. Thankfully he was released after 24 hour observation but apparently his EKG showed some abnormalities that worried the doctors. I'm sure prayers would be appreciated. And another hospital stay...

    Bill Hillhouse health

    this is the email I got today: I'm not sure how to begin this, my name is Jamie Hillhouse. As some of you may know (this email is going to all his pitching students and all his groups for weekend lessons) Bill has been battling some illnesses. Without going into specifics there are...

    Bill Hillhouse health

    As a pretty regular student of Bill's my DD has gone more than 6 months without a lesson. All my emails asking about lessons have been met with replies about not being too well (never going into specifics). Today I got a mass email from someone, whom I believe is his wife, with a Go Fund me...

    Hillhouse gets props on ESPN

    not sure if this was said with tongue in cheek or not but, if you know Bill, you know he is the most self deprecating, funny guy you'd ever meet. It can be easy to confuse the 2 but, it's unfair to compare someone who's been there, done that and teaches from that experience to someone with an...

    Hillhouse gets props on ESPN

    I know Boardmember likes to think that anyone who says complimentary things about Bill is "on his payroll" but, in spite of that, I thought it was pretty cool on ESPN today that Amanda Scarboro mentioned Bill on the broadcast. A pitcher entered the game in relief where Amanda mentioned that...
