    Confused about ruling

    Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like maybe the wrong call was made. The protest was done because this was a district game, score was tied (nail biter......21-21 LOL), near the end of the game and home team was due to bat after this play. But since it was not counted as a double play, the...

    Confused about ruling

    Could someone enlighten me and tell me if this was correct.....I helped coach a 6u Babe Ruth rec all star game last night and we were on defense. Bases loaded with 1 out. Batter hits a short pop fly which bounces and then fielded by P. Runner on 3rd starts to run, takes a few steps and then...

    Wasserman question

    I see several mentions on different threads about Wasserman's HLT ebook for $50, but on the website it appears the baseball version is $50 and the softball version is $100. Is there a significant difference between the 2, is the baseball version adequate or should I go ahead and get the...

    Has swing improved?

    Here is a video clip that I posted a year ago (thread title was 13 yr old swing): https://youtu.be/kH9-KEMalAw Here is a video clip taken last week. Worked 8 weeks in the off season with a different hitting coach (recommended by one of the top travel organizations in our area). He focused...

    13 yr old swing

    Here is a clip a year later from DD1 shown originally in this thread. I don't know how to make the video clips show up here, but here's the link (I'm very technically challenged!) We tried a new hitting coach for 8 weeks during the winter that was highly recommended by one of the top travel...

    Need some honest advice

    Thanks everyone for all the great advice and replies! To answer a few questions: 1. She is adopted (Chinese), so I have no idea of her growth potential. LOL All I can say is she will be taller than me! DD1 (biological) is 14 and only 4'11. DD1 also plays and gave up pitching 3 yrs ago as...

    Need some honest advice

    I know all of you that have been there, done that can give some honest feedback on whether my DD should give up pitching. She is 11 (May 05), has been pitching about 1.5 yrs. She is small (very small.....average height but skinny as a bean pole), and just doesn't have much power. Her...

    Need pitching coach recommendation

    I learned today that our team's pitching coach is retiring effective immediately, so we need to start looking for private lessons again. Does anyone have any recommendations for a PC in the western NC or upstate SC area? My DD (age 11) was taught the HE method, but has a natural tendency to...

    13 yr old swing

    Here's a clip from DD2. She turned 11 in May, been to the same hitting coaches, played all last year without a single bonafide base hit. Finally starting to see the ball this year. Surely there's some scholarship money somewhere for left handed Chinese pitchers! :)...

    2 pitchers and creative use of DP/FLEX

    Could someone explain to the newbie here why you would want to do this? I'm having a hard time following the logic. Thanks!

    13 yr old swing

    Here's another clip from today. DD has tried to work on the things discussed and we're both curious on everyone's feedback. She says her back leg "feels" different and her swing feels better. Thank you! https://youtu.be/0v6kgCRcgRY

    13 yr old swing

    She used to roll her wrists badly and not use her body at all, and always hit to the pitcher. (A problem we both recognized but have had a heck of time fixing.) Now she's hitting much harder and often good shots to the outfield, not just simple pop-ups. So I definitely see improvement. We've...

    13 yr old swing

    Thank you so much for feedback. Could someone please point me to a specific thread that would break down sequence? I'm having a hard time pinpointing one. Also, I don't quite understand what Seattlecoach means by "separation of walking the body away from the hands." Would you mind explaining...

    13 yr old swing

    I would love any feedback on my DD's swing. She has worked hard trying to improve it and we've been to 2 different reputable hitting coaches over the past year (both of which have helped tremendously). I'm just an amateur mom, so would appreciate any input on what she needs to correct. Thank...
