DD is 16U 2B/SS and got a Rawlings Pro1000 last year. She loves it! However, she is pretty decent in the OF and coaches occasionally like to put her there. She makes due with her Rawlings but I'd like her to have a glove with a pocket more suitable for outfield. Also don't want to spend a...
I think there's a need for actual tee work, side toss, front toss, machine work (some may argue this one), live pitching, etc. However, we all also have to work with what we've got for budget and space. Having said that, it sounds like you've found a decent alternative. I've been considering...
DD is 16U 2B/SS and got a Rawlings Pro1000 last year. She loves it! Adjust the laces to the closer set of holes on the wrist and you're good to go. She does not have especially big hands for fingers and no issues whatsoever for her.
I tried to search online for answers and can't seem to find much information. It seems D1 colleges have big budgets for football, but I'm wondering about softball. Does the school pay for travel, hotels, food, etc.? And what about D2 and D3 schools?
I'm not exactly sure. I wasn't there and only posted as a favor to one of the player's mother's who was scoring the game in GC. The father of DD who hit the ball was complaining that her hit should have been scored Sac Fly and credited with an RBI.
HS game (NFHS)
Runner on 2B, batter hits fly into outfield. CF catches, runner rounds 3B to home. CF throws to home for what should have been a tag out of runner, but catcher drops ball, runner scores.
Obviously an error for the catcher, but how should it be scored for the batter?
Just got one of the ProTs. Amazing! DD is excited to get started with it; going to play our first round of catch now. It's not as stiff as I thought it would be.
Hard to capture it in pictures, but here are a few.
He seemed to be the real deal. My father and brother who played against him, along with the other guys on the team they put together, were all very good ball players. They struggled to get any hits off him. A common thing he would do ...and he did it to one of the guys on my father's team...
Same as a few others on here ...mid 1970's. My older brother and father played in a league. I think it was '77 or '78 when they were able to play against the King and his Court ...they sure traveled all over. We were way up in northern NY (Massena)! No yellow balls back then (or raised seams).
