Hello All.
I've been away from the Forum for a number of years,
but read this excerpt in a MLB context today,
and it sparked the question:
"Yamamoto releases the ball from a low arm slot and has exceptional carry on his fastball, meaning its pure backspin causes it to drop less than a batter...
Hello.
Im selling our Redcord MINI training system.
Used for a few winters, it is still in “like new” condition, and I would love to move this on to a future star from this forum. ;-)
It is the basic kit for the MINI from Redcord, plus the “Wide Sling” and an extra set of “Power Grips” un-used...
Still dont understand the mandate that softball and baseball MUST share the same facility. Japan already has a robust pro baseball AND softball league. Why not just pick one of each of those venues, and NOT build a new facility for the Olympics? I mean, for fricks sake, they combined bball/sball...
agree, in that scenario a player probably wouldn't be benched,
but dropped from #3 to #8 in the order and/or pinch hit for after going 0-2 in a game?
Absolutely...
I might disagree with this logic.
This was a VERY short tournament, with only a handful of games, pool through the championship,
not a 162-game MLB season...
You need to put batters in the box that are putting good swings on the ball TODAY.
With such a limited roster size, EVERYONE in that...
OK seems to be doing something right with regard to proper axis for the Rise.
Paige Parker was a recently rostered pitcher that also threw a true Riseball...
was encouraged that Odicci (JMU) threw multiple pitches with differing spin.
Drop and bullet, but hey - its a start.
Contrast to Fouts (Alabama) that lives on a "located" big-dot bullet heater for every pitch.
with PGF's Nationals abhorrent COVID cancellation refund policy in 2020,
I wonder if teams are still willing to risk paying for 2021 Nationals?
They released a statement yesterday that really hedges all bets.
I'd be very wary...
an important aspect of this that no one is mentioning: how does coach allocate his/her 12 scholarships to returning 5th/6th year players?
Incoming 2020 and 2021 freshman have already either verbally, or NLI with a specific scholarship agreement in-place.
Do the players that opt to return for...
If it were my DD, I would let her decide, and not fault her either way.
Reasons to Bail:
Because it's a last-minute un-scheduled event.
Some coaches think their players are just sitting around, with clear schedules, just pining to play.
(To a certain extent, this is probably true.)
But kids do...
Ive seen effective strategy, in some cases, to *fake bunt* the first pitch,
and if that first pitch is a ball, fake bunt the second pitch also... then swing away for the remainder of the at-bat.
