    Valparaiso 2012 Horizon League Champions

    Yeah it's a shame when the best pitcher(Alex Lagesse) does not get pitcher of the tourney when her team won it. Terrible!

    Why Your Softball Players Have Elbow Pain: Wrist Flick Edition

    From the videos I don't see how the bad throwing motion he is showing is caused by the wrist snap.It just looks like bad mechanics period. We do wrist snaps and do not throw anything like the bad videos. The snap is just taught so they snap off the laces at end of throw period. Whether you agree...

    top 12u pitchers ???

    50-55mph. That's what we seen at ASA Northern Nationals last year and ASA Nationals in Alabama. You may get a couple better but for the most part that is what you are going to get.

    Softball Today Magazine

    Has anyone had any experience with it? I subscribed and paid in May and have not received any issues. Contact with them via email and phone has proved useless. Update: They just contacted me after i twisted their arm.LOl

    buying softballs

    Google this 'MacGregor Bucket of Yellow 12" Softballs', I bought mine at walmart online but they only list 11" now. But you can find them for 60ish. I have 4 buckets for practice and they work great.

    Hitting the spots OR learn new pitches

    Agree with you. I don't have to lie about that. I have a first year 12 that throws 50 also.Both pitching for 4 yrs and good size.Big deal! My point was that in ASA here in Northern Illinois it is common for you to see that speed. Anyone can hit speed . Now hit a good change or place a ball on...

    Hitting the spots OR learn new pitches

    My 10 yr old has thrown 47 from 35 and cruises 45mph,juggs gun. She has a long stride and still hitters in ASA hit the ball. Not all the time but most of the pitchers in 10U good teams are 45mph. She only throws a change and fastball. IMO location will become more important at 12U level when the...

    Face better pitching more often. Around here (Chicago land) that's normal speed for 12U asa pitchers.

    Is it safe to teach a 9 year old a Screwball?

    I agree also with last couple of posters. My DD's are 11 and 9 and throw 47-48 and 43-45. They are taught fastball with 6-12 spin and change ups ,location. No junk and a PC that has multiple D1 pitchers. As a pitchers Dad I am more focused on keeping their mechanics spot on which at this age is...

    LBR question

    I believe play is still live since runner is running to second. Player on third is not subject to look back rule until runner stops. That's what I am thinking.

    How many Pitches can my 8 year old throw per game

    Actually their are quite a few here. My 9 yr old throws 45 right now from 35 and 11 yr old throws 47 from 40. We have 4 pitchers on our 12U team that throw 51-55. So yes they are there.
