Hey everyone,
This is Jay Weaver, Coach Weaver's oldest son.....I know a lot of you have been waiting for an update on Coach Weaver's situation and I know some of you may be unaware of what has been going on. I am so unbelievably saddened to have to let all of you know that around 10:30am on...
The first thing we teach our catchers about pitch calling is to decide which pitches are available in the arsenal that day. This should be determined during pregame warmup when your catcher should be paying attention to what is working and what is not working. This is one of the big reasons we...
I saw them play in the early 1960's. I still remember one of Eddie Feigner's opening remarks to the crowd. He said " Now everyone sit back and enjoy the game.....and don't worry about the score....that's already been taken care of."
Starsnuffer has good advice. Long toss to add strength and bring the throws down even if they bounce. Do you have any video of her throwing to 2nd base? Many girls we see have as much as 2-3 tenths additional time due to mechanics issues.

The Vinci glove seems well made but will take a while to break in. A glove that breaks in quick but gives good protection is the Worth Liberty Advanced.
There are many D1 pitchers that don't throw 60-65mph so I do question the findings of a q12yr old throwing 60-65mph. What environment was she...
A short throw may just be caused by arm strength that is slow to develop. It also certainly can be due to problems in mechanics as well. Do you have any video of her throwing mechanics? The clip below shows a drill we use to practice footwork and exchange mechanics.
This Drill is designed to...
