Batters don't stand in the same place as each other in the Box
In an ideal world where batters were so good that pitch speed wouldn’t matter you would want all batters up on the box to take away as much movement on the ball as possible… but batters aren’t all the same size nor do they have the same reaction time, experience etc… they should setup in the box...- Mocoso

Scholarship Program to help kids play-can you offer any advice?
You have families that need it apply and have a small confidential group that reviews the application. You make the whole process confidential and stipulate up front what the criteria is (level of income etc) - people donating do not need to know which family was the beneficiary but entire org...- Mocoso

Is this anything?
Odd for sure… you did say batter up I’m not sure you need to say “play ball” specially at high school level Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Mocoso

A couple DP/FLEX questions
I do this all the time and never had had any issues with umps. Not sure why they emphasize STARTING - I’ve never had to tell blue or other coach whom they are fielding for either unless you have them starting as pitcher or catcher as they need to know that Not an answer to your question but just...- Mocoso

10u lineup thoughts
That’s a tough one - depends how good the pitching is and if they walk a lot - if there’s a chance of walks I would sprinkle one of the 50-50 in top 5 so your good hitters can bring more in - I would then sprinkle the 50-50 in the bottom half with the ones that won’t hit …. But yea you’re...- Mocoso

Hit by pitch
Depends on organizational rules - batter must make an attempt to get out of the way or the pitch will be called a ball (the batter won’t get called out as that coach screamed) - it is up to the blue to determine if an attempt was made or not- now way back when (I think back In 2012) this rule...- Mocoso

Need Advice from HS Coach Regarding HS / Travel Tournament Conflict
Wonder what those college coaches impression would be if they found out the kid they are seeing at the showcase basically told their HS team: yea I dont Care about team it’s all about me… the only way I could see this being OK is if their HS team didn’t need these players - if you’re riding pine...- Mocoso

Need Advice from HS Coach Regarding HS / Travel Tournament Conflict
I think you misunderstood the rule - the rule states that HS players can’t play travel not that there can’t be travel tourneys or games. The only choice being removed is for players that want to do BOTH. Your DD could choose to only play travel or only play HS. If your local HS has such poor...- Mocoso

Need Advice from HS Coach Regarding HS / Travel Tournament Conflict
Looking at some of the responses I’m Not sure why so many feel “entitled” to demand HS make accommodations for travel… glad CA makes it a rule so we dont have to debate this with parents… for all of you who dismiss HS And the coaches I have a simple answer: nobody is forcing your DD to play HS -...- Mocoso

Games during spring break? School conflict during spring break? School conflict and family vacation aren’t really equal excuses albeit why you would have games or a school conflict during spring break is puzzling…I’m not understanding the school conflict vs family vacation and the published...- Mocoso
