Welcome to Bulletspin Season!
As we move into the conference championships and WCWS we'll get some good slo-mo pitch replays. If you see any good side or backspin (6-12) pitches from "top pitchers", let us know which player/game/inning. Happy unicorn hunting!- PharmerBrown

U.S.A./USSSA age chart changes
We get it, You want to stratify by grade and make it all "School ball". Oh wait, except for those parents that "red shirt" their kids. There's no standardization with that either.

Statement from USSSA on age cutoffs
I'm sure the first of the year is much less logical than the arbitrary date you/they picked, but as long as they're forced to move at the same time, you're only playing with girls in a 2 year range. You'll always have the youngest and the oldest, and someone will always be born the day before...- PharmerBrown

Rothrock's Grip
I'm coming full circle on this. Almost every really good pitcher throws bullet spin. This, despite almost no pitching coaches teaching bullet spin. I'm wondering if they would be better had we just taught them bullet spin from the beginning.- PharmerBrown

Clearwater Invitational
I agree. I find it exhausting when they refuse to call the top of the zone. So little is called above the belt.- PharmerBrown

Michelle Granger Olympic pitcher and Coach talks pitching.
That was "tongue in cheek". She said she probably hit 70 in junior high, which is unheard of today. A lot of people make the comment "70 is the new 60". With the increased training, more friendly pitching rules, and how big these kids get, it makes sense.- PharmerBrown
