Recruiting Out of JUCO
Thank you that is encouraging. She is hitting the JUCO pitching hard and played high level travel for two years. The pitching we saw in Colorado and such tournaments was probably better than what she sees now. She’s a power hitting 5’10 SS and was without a doubt the offensive leader of the team...- beachball

Recruiting Out of JUCO
Hello everyone. My daughter, after having been recruited to a mid level D2, decided that the cost of attending an out of state school was more than she wanted to have on her balance sheet after graduation. As a result she is commuting to and playing for a D3 JUCO. They have a good team but the...- beachball

2010 Ghost
2020 Ghost sorry for the typo. So I have what I hope is a simple question. Who caved? Did USSSA agree to have ASA compression level bats as legal or did Easton basically eliminate the Blue Ghost and now market one bat that meets USSSA standards? I just went online and the blue ghosts are flying...- beachball

Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching
You are 100% right Sparky. These four years will fly by just like the last four I’m sure. I just want to enjoy it and see her do well softball wise too. The years after age 22 are what’s important no doubt. Softball is the cherry on top but it sure beats her not playing after high school in my...- beachball

Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching
Thank you Ken, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Truthfully, pitching wise that is pretty much what she has been seeing in travel. You will get the D1 commit thrown in here and there but I would say most fall into the second category. I agree about the coaching. I think there is a...- beachball

Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching
Thank you everyone. For years this has been an abstract thing. A goal we were reaching for and looked at kind of as the finish line. The reality is a whole new race is just beginning. All through travel ball getting committed was the goal. Now it is not just making the roster, but getting on the...- beachball

Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching
Haha thanks a lot. Well at least that pitcher has graduated. Holy smokes 0.92 ERA. That’s in the unhittable category for sure. It’s just hard to know what to expect. So much time and effort went into getting here and of course now she will have to prove herself all over again just like all of...- beachball

Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching
My daughter has committed to a mid level D2 school. They usually do go to the NCAA D2 tournament but the conference competition seems to be on the weaker side. Like any Dad I want her to succeed and I’m fearful that the pitching will be so much better than that which she has seen. I don’t know...- beachball

Criticism on DD hits please
I'm not gonna offer anything technical but I have been doing this with my daughter for a few years and I would say, without a doubt, she is ready to move up to an elite team. Certainly by next fall.- beachball

2018 Easton Ghost
My daughter's hitting coach thinks she should be swinging a 34 inch bat. My question is this: Is the compression the same for the Blue Ghost for both 33 and 34 inches? Currently she is swinging a 33/23 we are thinking about moving to a 34/25 and I am curious to know if they raise the...- beachball
