    College strike zone, Sheeeesh

    Watching several D2 games in person and a daughter that has pitched in some of them what I have seen is it has to be half a ball on the plate and mid thigh to just above the belly button. Home runs sell tickets. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Guest playing rules after TB season is over?

    Is the team she’s on now having tryouts and all spots are open? Do they just keep he same girls and try to find ones to replace ones who are not returning. First option after season ends you are free to do as you choose (you really are either way) Second option I would have a conversation...

    Going to lessons~What plan and path did you take?

    While coaching my thoughts are if you are paying for private lessons I’m not gonna change things. But if they are struggling to be successful for an extended period of time we will have a discussion to try and find a solution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Going to lessons~What plan and path did you take?

    Hitting. I don’t know if that I ever felt like they exceeded me, but there were definitely times when it needed to come from someone else. Pitching. All I can say is when you know you know. For my oldest it was like a switch, one day I knew all I could do to help was catch and watch mechanics...

    Going to lessons~What plan and path did you take?

    I have taken all my DD’s to instructors at some point. Usually weekly for a few months then will skip a few months. I started hitting with one at 8. Have been to and caught pitching lessons for my sophomore in college. When this whole journey started we took a 2hr drive to get a lesson from...

    Is GoPro the best option?

    I have a few questions. 1. Will this work with a GoPro hero 8 2. Will it use a phones hotspot or will it run through the phones LTE 3. Does the GC need to be done on the same device that the camera is connected to. 4. When do you think you will release this. 5. How would one handle multiple...

    GoPro help?

    I’m not positive this is 100% correct but here’s how I think it works. First you connect the GoPro to the WiFi through the phone and it runs through the phone until you start the livestream. Once the livestream starts the GoPro connects directly to the WiFi. (You can take the phone away or shut...

    GoPro help?

    Does Live4 use the phones LTE to stream? If so this may be the ticket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can remember pitches intentionally thrown at...

    Maybe I should clarify. Non required protection equipment. Pretty sure helmets are required. And most will try to get out of the way of a ball coming at their head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    GoPro help?

    Another issue I have had is at our HS we have WIFI at the field. They gave me the password so I could stream without using up my data. It will start streaming and about 10 seconds in the schools filter for FB will kick it off. We have been trying to find a way around that with no luck so far...

    Can remember pitches intentionally thrown at...

    I’d almost take that a step further. If it hits a piece of protective equipment no base. I’m pretty sure the year Florida took all the HBP a large percentage was on the elbow guard. I’ve even seen some lean into it and take the elbow guard to the ball. Don’t let a piece of hard plastic be...

    GoPro help?

    I have Verizon and even if I add a mobile hotspot to our plan they will only allow 15gb of high speed due to it being an older “unlimited” plan. Aka we want you to switch to this new plan that will almost double your bill. That’s why I was thinking of getting a stand alone hotspot if I could...

    Can remember pitches intentionally thrown at...

    I remember my dd walking halfway to the umpire and saying..... I won’t hit them if you keep them out of the strike zone... needless to say there weren’t any more knees hanging over the plate that game [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    GoPro help?

    I have a couple questions. I’m using a GoPro hero 8 and using my phones hot spot to stream live to FB. I can connect to the hotspot on my phone and it will stream all day but I’ve tried using both my wife and dd’s phones and it will disconnect from the hot spot after a few minutes. Anyone had...

    USA softball pitching instruction (men's team) videos.

    Yes episode 4&5 I believe. Both looked like they had been taught the same that we normally teach girls and this was his main focus for those two. Although they are just 12-15 minute snippets of what I’m sure was a longer session. I have been wondering as of late if the crow hop will start being...
