    What are These Pitcher Parents Smoking??

    Not trying to get into a brag post, but... I consider my DD to be one of the better 14U movement pitchers in KY. She pitched 152 innings of HS Varsity this year and had a WHIP of 1.08 and an ERA of 1.60. Another parent had a radar on her last weekend and she cruises around 54. Did see a 56...

    end of freshman year brag post

    DD finished her freshman year with a disappointing loss in the first round of district. She has had a fantastic year, earning the starting pitching spot on varsity. In total she pitched 151 innings, had 177 strike outs, and batted .380. Not a bad year! Now on to the travel season.

    Social Engineering

    My DD has done all Change Ups for her 5 pitch warm up before first inning with the whole team watching and then....POW curve ball for a strike. Only works on them for the first batter, but still she likes to do this to teams that don't know her well.

    great movement

    I hope she has a shot. DD is a freshman pitcher, 14 years old and 5 foot even. She is the starting pitcher for her HS varsity this year. Pitches mid 50s and averaging over 8 Ks per game. Has had 152 strike outs so far this year. Proud Dad!

    Strangest thing an Umpire has said to you?

    Our shortstop gets bumped by runner coming off of 2nd trying to make a play on the ball. Field ump calls nothing, runner safe at third. Appeal to plate ump and he states "Its like in basketball when there is incidental contact." I got a technical foul called on me after that. HS Varsity

    Height in Relationship to Pitching

    Both sides of the height discussion. Jennie and my DD. All 4' 11" of her. I know it is the case for any top notch pitcher, but DD has worked her butt off to become an effective pitcher. High core strength and lots of lower leg strength. Has a change up that buckles knees and spins the ball...

    What an awsome weekend!!

    DD is a freshman in HS and will more than likely be Varsity pitcher this year. Jenny Finch was coming to our town to do a one day camp for our FCA, and the HS coach calls me and asks if I would be interested in taking Jenny back to the airport after the camp is over. This is about a hour and...

    Tough situation

    Finally, DD had game of life in the circle. 13 strike outs against a solid team on their senior night. Really did not think they were going to win another game. This team really needed this. Pulaski upsets Lady Warriors » Local Sports » Commonwealth Journal

    Tough situation

    Out of jv and v only 5 players stayed with the program. Teams that we play bring both v and jv teams, we just move the girls around a little and play both games.

    Would this be considered a flagrent 1 or 2?

    To clarify, ball was poped up between 2nd base and pitcher. Not player playing 2nd and pitcher.

    Would this be considered a flagrent 1 or 2?

    There was no question it was SS ball to field. If they would have explained it to the coaches as someone else had a better chance at the ball, we may not have liked it but it would have been something that could have been backed by the rules. It was a bad call, and we were joking about the...

    Would this be considered a flagrent 1 or 2?

    Fair enough, we were making light of a bad call and even worse comparison. Just thought it was funny.

    Would this be considered a flagrent 1 or 2?

    At last nights game, HS Varsity, DD was on defense with runner on 2nd. Batter pops up between 2nd and pitcher. SS runs into runner coming off of 2nd trying to make a play on the ball, classic runner interference. NO CALL IS MADE. Coach appeals to the plate ump and he explains it as "It is...

    Tough situation

    Quick update, Lost 13 straight games, two of which were run ruled. A previous post talked about pulling up JV players, there are none all but 5 players in the program left. DD has been pitching very well and getting all the playing time she can handle, pitching for Varsity and then playing SS...

    Tough situation

    From bad to worse. Here is an update. We are 7-4 on the season. As of Thursday all 3 assistant coaches and 10 girls quit the team. My DD and 4 others are left. New coach is scrambling to field enough players to finish the season. Attached is a link to the newpaper story in yesterdays...

    Tough situation

    Honestly she would not have tried out. I had not mentioned that she is in the 8th grade playing up. If she would have known he was going to be coach, she would have played middle-school ball this year. This will be my last post. DD will play as long as there is somewhere to play. Honestly...

    Tough situation

    That's not it. My DD can and will play for him. This team is made up of 1 senior, 1 junior and 13 underclassmen, including 2 eighth graders. That is a total of 15 girls to fill both V and JV. My concern is that DD has worked her tail-end off all winter long preparing for games and may not...
