    15yo Maddie

    Eric, I see a lot of positives with her swing. One thing that I did notice without trying to get too technical is that she keeping of weight on her back foot at the point of impact. As her swing progresses, you see that she is "squishing the bug" with her back foot at the point of impact. By...

    Miss St. Kentucky blown call. How can you miss that???

    What chaps my rear about this is that the SEC will not discipline the umpire who screwed the pooch on this call. I can't speak for other leagues as my daughter plays in the SEC. From all of the series that I have attended, I am amazed at how horrible the umpring is in the SEC and how much...

    Lotief?

    No, Glasco had nothing to do with facilitating Sanders transfer to Oregon. That was done by Lotief. He and White have a relationship. The same with Candrea. That is why 2 former Cajuns transferred to Arizona within the past week. With all of these departures, there is not much left in the...

    Lotief?

    It looks like the players are victims again. First by Lotief and now by the university who will not grant a release to those that want to leave. I really feel sorry for D. J. Sanders and Aleah Craighton who are returning All-Americans and seniors. Sanders it scheduled to graduate in the spring...

    Scholarship offer to HS Freshman

    I stand by my previous post that full athletic rides are very rare and more of an exception. From your smug response, I guess that you are implying that your daughter is on a full athletic scholarship. If she is, she is either a pitcher or a top level catcher who hits for power. Good pitching...

    Scholarship offer to HS Freshman

    Uh, yes you do have to be exceptional to get a full athletic full ride to a P5 school. Like another poster said, many are on a "full ride" when you combine athletic and academic money but is very rare for a student athlete to receive a 100% athletic scholarship.

    Wrap on bat handle

    It is not illegal. I have wrapped tennis tape on my daughter's bat handle for years. Her bat has been inspected at the mandatory ASA Gold bat checks for the past 4 years and has been inspected by numerous ASA and PGF umpires before tournaments numerous times over the years. As long as you do...

    Scholarship offer to HS Freshman

    Same old story that has been repeated a gazillion times over. A girl who has some success at an early age but becomes average by their senior year. I am always leery of the stories about a prospective student athlete (PSA) being offered a full ride at a D-1 school and take these boasts with a...

    When to start recruiting

    If your daughter is in 8th grade, there can be unlimited contact between her and a school. The rules for recruiting do not apply until she starts high school.

    Metal Cleats - Catchers' Parents - Please Weigh In

    I am an not a proponent of metal cleats and never have been. Medically speaking, there is no difference between the way a man's knee or a woman's knee is structured. Both have the same ligaments, tendons, meniscus, etc. However, a woman's knee is inherently weaker than that of a man. There...
