    Strangest ending to a game?

    No, pitcher in circle with control of the ball just means batter has to run or go back... they can keep running

    Help from the experts, please

    Got hit even harder, gave up many more runs... but eventually some of them happened to go right to fielders. The team they played is amazing... all very large, very skilled players. Some of the pitches my dd threw were perfectly on the low outside or low inside corners and they hit them...

    Thank you so much. That is a VERY good point.

    I guess I stated my question poorly. What I am after is.... are runs always a pitcher's fault? I was always taught that a pitcher forcing ground balls is good. Maybe softball is different. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    My dd, 1st year 12u, pitched yesterday in a friendly... starting against one of the best teams in the state. During the inning several runs scored and she was pulled. My dd felt like the coach inferred she did really poorly and now my dd feels really bad. I have full video of the whole thing...

    Thanks for the advice. She throws 5-6 times per week, 50-150 pitches per day. I will start doing more long-toss with her. We are in Ohio, so middle of the road competition is my guess from what I have read. The fastest I've seen so far is 45 (my experience is limited to about 6 friendlies...

    Would much appreciate a totally honest assessment of my 10u pitcher daughter

    I am quite new to softball (played baseball back in the day, though) and would be much obliged for the wisdom of more experienced folks. My daughter started playing 2 years ago. She started pitching about a year and a half ago but, not knowing anything, she spent about the first 9 months with a...
