    Welcome to Bulletspin Season!

    It's very possible to have a ball break armside(edit) for a pitcher. Whether you call it a screwball or a two seam fastball is up to you. 2 seam grip canted to about 1 to 2 o'clock will run in(because of both spin and seam shifted wake). It is impossible to throw a ball with 9-3 spin...

    New Coach, advice appreciated

    If hitting grounders is so good why did Candrea run a part of his practices that way? I just think a lot of coaches fall into the trap of hitting rockets at their players and then telling them to "stay down" time after time as the ball goes to the outfield. Rolling balls allows for reduced...

    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    That was a terrible reversal. I'm not sure how you make that play any better than Stanford did. If that's against the rules then the rules are a joke.

    Getting from 9 o’clock to 12 o’clock ?

    Bill, please (pretty please) post some decent quality video of yourself pitching NCAA mechanics if you have any. Doug Gillis and Jeremy Manley are good models of NCAA legal mechanics on the male side.

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Say Shaq was a transgender person when he was in college. If you gave 19 y/o Shaquille O'Neal hormones for 1 year at age 20 he would have no advantage over his female competition? Do you really need a scientific study to tell you the answer to that.

    Just a rant

    90% (at least) is done at home/by the parent in most cases I'd bet.

    Correcting pitcher during game

    I think you shouldn't say anything to them during a game from the dugout about mechanics. Go out there and talk to them if you really need to say something. During the game they should be competing. Focused on trying to get the batters out/win the game. Worrying about mechanics takes them...

    10u Player Daily Practice/Training Routine

    Get a batting cage in your backyard if at all possible. Towny is right. Boil it down into like a 20 or 30 minute routine(at most). You can vary it. Throw(over and underhand), hands drills(and/or catcher stuff), hit. Add in a few longer ones every now and then depending on what she...

    I need a "bracket" pitcher? What exactly does that mean?

    I have never, nor will I ever, sit on a bucket for any reason. People who sit on buckets have their players hit tires. And start throwing warm ups from 3 feet from each other flicking their wrists.

    8u pitching practice...how much is too much?

    I agree it seems like a lot of practice for 8. Especially when it seems you are not really familiar with the basics of pitching. That's a lot of time spent on things that are not that fruitful. I would cut the time you spend with her in half and use the new free time to familiarize yourself...
