Equal arm development
My 11 YO DD has been pitching for a little over 1 year now and she has developed pretty good speed. Her mechanics still need help but we're working on that. My concern is that her right arm (throwing) seems to be more muscular and developed as compared to the left. Is this a concern? If so, what...- Wookie

LBR question
We played in a "scrimmage" tournament today and this situation came up and I wasn't sure if the ruling was correct. ASA rules were being followed. Runner at 3rd and batter walks on a blocked pitch so pitcher comes in to cover home with runner at 3rd about 10 feet down the line. Catcher throws...- Wookie

Sunglasses
Just curious what the opinion is out there on sunglasses. Coach wants them off while batting, but is ok with them in the field. My thinking is that they should keep them on if they had them on in the field since their eyes may not adjust to the bright sunlight to hit. I told them, against his...- Wookie

Didn't really learn much from U8 manager pitch - "coach" was selected on ability to bring equipment to...- Wookie

It looks like she's bowling
I had the first chance last night to see DD pitching from some other position than behind the plate. It was from the dugout during a scrimmage for TB, and I noticed what her PC was saying earlier in the day - she's bending over a the waist to deliver the ball. Like the title says, it looks like...- Wookie

Beginning Catcher's Questions
DD is 10 playing on U10 travel and rec teams. She's a part time catcher for both and has gotten some, in my opion, confusing coaching on what to do. First off, one travel coach (head) doesn't want her to take any additional steps other than stepping with the left foot towards 2nd, while another...- Wookie
