    Baseball Forum

    So this site has been a wealth of information over the years. I am truly thankful for all the advice received from this forum. Now that I have a son starting his journey I was wondering if there are any other sites like this, but for baseball?

    Defensive alignment

    Is this legal? 14u. There was a right handed power hitter that could drop bombs all day long but was a slow runner and could not bunt to save her life. Coach shifted SS into outfield and moved 2nd to SS whenever she came up to bat. The defense would shift back when she got on or got out Opposing...

    Pitching Speed 90 mph?

    Is this for real? I must be missing something. I see several articles stating she threw 90 mph and it never mentions being compared to a baseball pitch or being adjusted for distance. Not a pitching guy so please excuse my ignorance on this. Kathy Arendsen "At 6-foot-2, she presents an imposing...

    Intentional walk

    Hey guys/gals, We recently played in a tournament where we were told that a batter did not have to be pitched to when wanting to intentionally walk them. (No Pitch out needed). This tournament was using the IFA/VTD rule set. When we asked to see this rule the TD told us it was new and not in the...

    Covering home

    12u. With a runner on 3rd, the pitcher throws a wild pitch and the catcher chases down the ball. Where should the pitcher setup to recieve the throw from the catcher and potentiality get the runner coming home out? Thanks in advance

    Thank you DFP, and I could use afavor!

    I agree with this. DD is currently using Quatro and loves it. She also has a nighthawk and MFB. The nighthawk never performed at the same level as her other bats. It is collecting dust now.

    coresoftball 20

    Something I find odd is one of the parents from a team my daughter was on a year ago just opened his own business selling primarily Wilson products. He has a little shop he opened up and claims to be an authorized retailer of LS and DeMarini etc etc. He has already sold quite a few bats both out...

    Issue with Mizuno Glove

    Just out of curiosity. How was it broken in wrong?

    CatchingCamp (NECC)

    DD attended the catchingcamp (formerly NECC) held in Texas this past weekend. I must say this was a very well run camp. They were organized, had an agenda and went over most of the core things a catcher needs to know/do. DD was ahead of the game since she has watched the DVD a half dozen times...

    Custom Vinci

    Nice glove. My DD prefers that web as well. IMHO Vinci would make a killing if the offered a partial break in for a small fee.

    Kcsftbl That is a valid point but I am sure our HC would say "It is at my discretion if we pick up or allow our players to pick up. I will look at each situation and make a decision on a case by case basis." grcsftbll Same here. It gets pretty awkward at times. One coach followed us out to...

    Yes. Exactly the same here. Do you have problems with the teams who need pickups aggressively recruiting the players they are picking up? We do here. I think this is one reason HC wants to require approval. Some teams are worse than others when it comes to recruiting pick ups.

    Guest play

    The HC does decide who plays on his team and who sees innings. What I am afraid of is him vetoing everything and next season we don't have a team because he pissed everyone off. I am positive some will leave immediately and/or refuse to sign any contract that has that stipulation in it. We have...
