    You my man are a very rare breed. I appreciate all the work you put in for your HS. What you just stated can not be said by many!!!!

    Question re: DD not playing HS ball senior year

    I will give you my 2 cents....HS ball did not get your daughter her opportunity to play in College. Your TB team did. Why should the HS take the credit of something they had nothing to do with????? I got one DD....She did not play HS ball and she is playing in College. I remember talking to...

    Pull with the front arm?

    I wouldn't say pull with your front arm. But I have heard a lot of hitting coaches say drive your front elbow. Ive seen this cue misused causing kids to pull the bat around their body and causing the front shoulder to fly open. As with alot of cues in the wrong hands they can be dangerous...

    Too late for class of 2020

    I can tell you this from my experience.....I have coached from tee ball to now 18A. I got six out of my 12 committed to some level of degree at anywhere from Juco to D2. I have no D1 recruits on my team currenlty. My catcher was offered on the spot 75% athletic and 25% academic if her ACT and...

    Too late for class of 2020

    I am sure that number is a little low too. Out those 12 that are listed I would be very courious what college D1 coach is willing to part with a full ride scholarship on a kid just entering HS. This whole process of recruiting 8th graders and freshman (as was discussed in another thread)...

    Should HS seniors EVER play JV?

    This topic comes up several times around this time of year. I think the far more important question to ask other than is it ever appropriate for a Senior to play on JV (which my answer is no she should not) is DOES YOUR DAUGHTER WANT TO PLAY HS BALL!!!! So many families take HS ball as a make...

    D-1 Speeds

    I would love to play a 65mph fastball pitcher. Imagine how fast the ball would get over the fence. Changing speeds, location, and spin are key not always how fast. Fast is nice though.....Now you got a Changeup to go with that 65 MPH fastball with a few other off speed that you can change the...

    Article on early recruiting...

    I completley agree JAD.....I whish they would make a list public so people can see just how often schools drop the verbal or the kid drops the verbal and where or if did they take another offer. Put it out there. They you will now who is playing games. My example prob not the best as I am...

    Article on early recruiting...

    I just got one question and them some thoughts. How many of these schools back out on 8th grade kids that has verbally committed a few years down the road, or how many kids have found a better offer and back out of the verbal. I have seen this more and more. Thus my thought...... this needs...

    Uniform colors

    You two narcissistic umpires need to worry about calling a game not what is coached. I never once said I train my team to follow the arm circle. I train them to focus on the release (Not that it is any of your concern what I train my team to do). What you two have a hard time understanding in...

    Uniform colors

    Ask the Blue that was calling the game Comp.....He said he was losing the ball. My girls said they were having a hard time picking it back up at the release point as the eyes were drawing up top not at the hip for a split second longer. Which was enough to throw off their timing. Like I said...

    Uniform colors

    I know there is no rule against uniform color, but I did face a team at a National Tournment just a couple weeks ago that wore optic yellow head bands and socks. I just casually said something to Blue that my girls can not pick up the ball and he said neither can I. I didn't ask for the head...

    Louisville Slugger LXT Bat Return

    No hate for Louisville on my part. She broke one last year too and fedex a new one the next day so she have it for nationals. Nothing you can do it they sold more than expected. They made it right when they had the recall too. Got two bats for returning your old one. I got a backup. Just don't...

    Louisville Slugger LXT Bat Return
