    Educate me on the NPF

    My husband thinks that the NPF should look at being a winter league and work out an agreement where they play in the domes that the MLB wouldn't be using since it was their off season. He thinks there is too much competition with the MLB during the summer. Playing exhibition games before...

    Educate me on the NPF

    So I asked some questions on the Akron Racers Facebook page and suddenly the comments were gone later. Can someone help me understand the NPF? 1. Define MLB development partner and what benefits the league gets from it. I'm not seeing much except the MLB avoids someone yelling Title 9 at them...

    Palm Up Curve

    Im sure you've seen this clip before, but at 1:37 Osterman starts talking about how she naturally throws a "corkscrew" fastball, that's simply the way she was taught, and there's no right or wrong way to throw it. Shortly after, she demonstrates two different fastball grips, "downward spin" and...

    The problem with ESPN softball

    2020 being in Japan is reason enough that men's fastpitch wouldn't even be considered and possibly laughed at if the ISF even suggested it. Japan LOVES their baseball. Japan LOVES their women's softball. Men's fastpitch is not as popular for them. Not knocking men's fastpitch at all. Just saying...

    I did just go check my Instagram and saw they advertised it on there, but I hadn't been on Instagram in days so I missed it. I'm assuming they advertised on Facebook too?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. Most American households have no idea softball exists beyond the WCWS.

    Should I just give it up?

    Another big reason I'd like to play. I mentioned I want to give girls the opportunities I missed out on, and even if I didn't get to play, I'd like to be involved with a college softball program just for the experience. Water girl anyone? ;) This is another huge hold up for me too. I did look...

    Should I just give it up?

    Yeah thats how i feel. I just feel dumb even emailing her about tryouts, and i think thats because she will also be teaching one of my classes this fall and I don't want her to think she is going to have this crazy softball stalker in class lol. I'm going to school to get a health and PE degree...

    Should I just give it up?

    Random but I was hoping for some opinions. I have played slowpitch softball since I was 9. I played varsity 1st base and pitcher in high school 4 years, where we made back to back state tournament appearances which was history made for the school. They had never had a successful softball team...
