    Any recommendation for a first base glove? HS class of 2022 (late start).

    Was thinking a 12.75 for 1st and OF instead of the 1st base mitt. (the 11.75 is a bit small for 1st and OF). She really doesn't want to play 1st (but does what is asked). OF and middle infield are her preferences. Maybe I'll do that.

    She likes the glove snug around her wrist. Other than that she has never mentioned any particular preferences. She currently has a 11.75" Glovesmith that she loves. Her sisters 11.5" Glovesmith is 6 years old with one re-lacing (just graduated from College and that glove got a TON of use). Not...

    I've had good luck with Ebay. Bought all our bats there (last year model always saves lots of $$ (three daughters)). Both listing are for new gloves. My dilema will be is how will another glove fit in her backpack with all those half empty water bottles! LOL

    She can still use her smaller glove some this fall. Doing Showcases but it would be ready for next summer. We didn't really have a real 1st base this past summer so she was put there and did well. Not sure ... I see two Vinci on Ebay for $100 new.

    Mine is getting bounced around a lot. But watching my older college daughter softball I see a lot of that. Hitters get on the field. So if you are a hitter and are versatile on the field there is a lot to be said for that. The Vinci is new 22/PC CBW-22 13" ... her infield glove is 11.5"...

    HS class of 2022 (late start). I see a Vinci for $100 new, Liberty? Plays SS in High School so she has a good infielder glove (she prefers middle infield but has been filling in at other positions and has done well). Travel team (18U Showcase) is now going to use her at 1st and in OF. Not...

    12U Hitting "Slump"

    https://youtu.be/7g-N0uTGepA This past weekend much better. With middle school over we were able to get back to batting coach ... worked on turning the hips quicker. Also went over that her goal was to get get at least one hard hit ...regardless of whether or not fielded (do not worry about...

    12U Hitting "Slump"

    Agree that it needs to be addressed now and that it isn't going to happen that quickly. We have had 5 consecutive tournaments, all similar opposition. Each week has gotten progressively less productive as far as hitting goes (she really started out being ahead of the pitch). The fact is that...

    12U Hitting "Slump"

    Hit well early in season ... same pitching as now. I understand that hitters on field even though they may not field well. Just looking for some new eyes to help.

    12U Hitting "Slump"

    You are correct about it being mechanical. But kids this age do feel bad and that sometimes gets in the way. She's a good fielder and always has a good attitude ... but knowing that she is now going to sit if she doesn't go 3-4 on Saturday does put added pressure on a "slump". Advice on how to...
