    How low can you go?

    how could see move to a wild or errant pitch or drop to block from that position. I guess the butt on the ground would stop anything going staight through the wickets

    Need the Blues opinion on a pitching thread

    sat with a local asa official watching a game when illegal pitching came up. he said they don't like to call it unless its blatant, because anyone throwing with IR is illegal. you can not deliver the ball without the wrist outside the elbow which is illegal

    Slap hitting?

    slapping puts pressure on the defense. Dd switched last year at 14. 3.1 to first but can bunt to first or third on demand, or soft or hard slap. She reads the defense and takes what their giving her. our slappers hit 1-2 and bunt all the time for base hits. this was against 16 and 18 teams...

    Need Advice

    my dd's coach last year did short hop drills using a machine set at 50mph . they were also on their knees , straight on ,forehands and backhands, opened and closed. they started slower but moved up to that speed. they learned quickly why they have a glove and had better use it. 14b level btw.
