    Bean Ball?

    That was the USF coach, not the Florida coach. You might want to get your facts straight before you bash a coach.

    Wrist Snap

    I do, especially if you are isolated to the hand you are using the wrist muscle as I see it. Curve too by the way

    USA Softball changed their requirements to play on the National Team. Before they allowed players to play in the World Cup and then go back to their NPF teams during the non World Championship or Olympic years. Now they are now requiring the players play all summer for the National Team that...

    Wrist Snap

    Illegal pitchs-Florida/UCLA

    I think the NCAA will change the rule and allow both feet to be airborne withing a specified distance from the pitching rubber just like International rules have been modified. It is the right answer otherwise there is always going to be someone on the fence yelling at the umpire because a...

    Juco vs. D1 pitcher

    The biggest name pitcher I remember coming out of JUCO was Lauren Eckerman who went to Temple Jr. College and then went on to play for Oklahoma. I believe she was a 2nd or 3rd team All American of OU.
