    “The New Bats Are So Fragile”

    I didn’t bother to read through the whole thread, but I just had my DD’s GA replaced. Cracked on the barrel just before the one year mark. Easton was very easy as far as getting it replaced. The whole process from me to them and back was less than 2 weeks. The day after i sent the bat out to...

    finally got Instagram what/who are some absolute must follows?

    (Baseball)pitching Robbyrow12 Guy puts out lots of great content. Throws 90’s and his old man still catches him in all his posts.

    Demarini Prism feedback

    I generally hit I/O for DD’s team. Over the year I always switch up which kids’ bat I use so I can get a feel for how hot they are. I’ve used Prisms and Ghosts, but the bat that impressed me hands down was the LXT( black and gold -10). IMO Between the Prism and Ghost, neither bat seemed that...

    Follow up - Top of the 7th. Score tied. Runners on 1st and 3rd. No one out. You're the home team coach. (LONG BUT WORTHWHILE)

    DD is only in middle school, but when I see mental errors I put that on their travel coach. Not their middle school coach.

    Time To Take Some Time Off From Throwing

    Does this look right?

    Composite bats definitely bend. DD had a Bustos that would bend over my knee quite a bit. You can tell if abat is shaved when it breaks because there is a altering bat warning on the inside of the barrel that will be noticeably marked or gone.

    Coin Toss

    I like visitor if i dont know the ump so i can see the other team find the zone.

    umpire awards ball to punish catcher

    A local tourney ump told my catcher, you catch the pitches and the zone gets bigger, i get hit with a pitch and it gets tighter.

    When to move a player to a higher level team?

    I would start by watching a few of his games and practices. You can see how he conducts himself and organizes his games/practices to know if it would be a good fit or something you would even be interested. Anytime HC's DW asks you to leave, thats never a good sign.

    A thought on bat weight and early bat manipulation

    I see the same thing happen with my daughter. She loves to swing a huge bat but her little body can not manage it. With her the trailing elbow gets ahead of the top hand and the barrel drops. Doesnt happen with a properly sized bat.

    Wristband sign chart

    Never miss a sign is what i purchased. Very easy to use. Good luck on outfielders picking up just your fingers on a play call.
