It's not all about speed
My daughter is not blessed with great speed, not bad speed just not great. Like I discribe her, average speed with above average movement and location. The head of our organization who does our college recruiting told me the other day that every coach loves speed, especially college coaches...- kenny 77

Bucket on the Shelf
Who else will cry like a baby when you put the bucket on the shelf for the last time? With my daughter being a sophomore in HS I was thinking about this other day. She's a good kid that truly seems to still love the game of softball but the reality is, time is running out. Depending on how...- kenny 77

Oh cool. I bet she really likes it up there. We were at Graceland University in Lamoni, IA.- kenny 77

The Right Reasons
Bill, Please tell your wife THANK YOU for your service. My family really appreciates the sacrifice she makes for us. And we don't forget about the sacrifice you and your kids make as well. That can be pretty tough on a family, so thank you. It sounds like you and your daughter truly have a...- kenny 77

The Right Reasons
I took my daughter to a camp in Iowa this weekend and as we (just her and I) were driving down the highway I thought to myself, "this is so much more than just softball or the hopes of a college scholarship". It's about spending quality, "one on one" time with my daughter and that's the way it's...- kenny 77

How Fast Does DD Throw?
It doesn't matter. What matters is how effective is she on the mound. My daughters speed was always a little slower than other pitchers on our team but her location and movement was good. Uhmm...isn't that what every parent says who's daughter throws a little slower? Ha, Ha. Anyway, now...- kenny 77

Curve Ball Speed
I have a question. How does a coach have a daughter that's a "major D-1 college pitcher commit" and not know very much about pitching? Really? :) I've always heard that college coaches want girls that can throw movement pitches within a couple of mph of their fastball so feel very blessed...- kenny 77

1st and 3rd situation question
Well, not to change the subject or anything but MTR kind of took us in this direction. The reason SP games move along faster than FB games is not because of the LB rule. It’s because there are less walks, less strikeouts, less timeouts, fewer pitches being thrown as most hits come on the first...- kenny 77

Circle time/Speed
Don't get caught up in the speed thing too much. Like the others have said, use it more as a tool to measure progress if you want to. We usually only get clocked once a year at the World Series. We played a team last fall (16U) and their pitcher threw what I thought was really hard. Faster...- kenny 77
