I really don't care as it is a HS softball game - the rules have been changed to basically provide a lot of benefit to the pitchers which is fine but when the only illegal pitch that is called is because a girl has her hand in the glove when she steps on the pitching plate (still trying to...
She did - nothing to do with that more to understand the rule - she is clearly a very good pitcher but seems to fit the definition of a replant which is a clear competitive advantage.
This seems like a good spot to see what people think about the snip in the youtube link above that was from a HS game earlier this month - legal or not under any rules body (NCAA, NFHS, PGF, USA, etc)
Thanks

I think someone (probably more than a few actually) said it earlier that they will never call the replant - that is the bigger issue and isn't that hard to see when you can see dirt flying up and a large hole being made after an inning or 2 by the replanted ("drag") foot. It was highly evident...
We saw this all over the place at PGF with the top pitchers there - it seems to be a habit that is formed in lessons, not corrected and continues into games. A lot of things don't really impact the pitch that folks consider to be illegal based on the rules written but taking a step forward...
@LEsoftballdad has raised the point of the day. Maybe it is parents trying to be 'cool' but they openly 'brag' about being 'paid' to play, easy path to college team and access to the Duke coaches, practice at the campus, etc. I will let the NCAA and others in that circle deal with that topic...
Thanks - It seems this year in the Southeast there are competing showcases that used to have their own weekend (or have recently come on to the scene - i.e. Show Me the Money) so will be interesting to see where the teams show up and play - obviously this is not all inclusive but a sample of...
Just wanted to get the views of this group as to the best Showcase events to attend this fall as it seems a number are now 'competing' with each other - focused on the 16&18U age brackets
Orange Socks has it in my view but this is the exception versus the rule for sure. Many teams/coaches are looking for the easy way by 'selling' their team to kids that have been developed by others and then they have those kids fly thousands of miles to play with them or meet up with them...
Hi here - just saw this - all depends on what you are looking for and what 'level' she is looking to and capable of playing. A few of the better teams (not purposefully excluding folks but may just miss them from lack of thinking through fully) include: Mojo Wade, Atlanta Vipers Tamborra (and...
