Hitting grounders
Lol yeah I didn’t say they were much better. Though in my opinion I do consider groundouts to be better than pop ups (by pop ups I mean the hits where the ball goes straight up and doesn’t make it out of the infield. I’m not talking about the “pop ups” that are just long fly balls that the...- Shelia B

Hitting grounders
I mean hey grounders are better than strikeouts lol. In all seriousness my youngest dd also struggled with the hitting a lot of grounders problem and let me tell you there is nothing harder than getting a defiant teenager to change their swing just slightly. She says that the hits work and we’ve...- Shelia B

Batting Philosophy
In my opinion the perfect 1 and 2 are speedy slappers with a high obp and batting average, 3 should be a good all around hitter with good power, good contact, and decent speed, 4 should be you best pure power hitter that has the highest batting average, 5 should be your 2nd best pure power...- Shelia B

end of season
Woah your guys’ school ball season is in the fall?! Here our school ball season always takes place in the spring because the fall is so cold. Usually fall is for the indoor sports like volleyball and basketball. Anyways I love the type of hitters who go into an at bat and get a hit super early...- Shelia B

Bat recommendations for 10 y/o travel player?
I might be biased since dd has a prism but I see a lot of kids at that age swinging a prism. Me and dd think it’s a pretty good bat that’s got a nice mix of power and contact (it’s also decently durable). It’s also really good for those smaller girls who are contact hitters because of how light...- Shelia B

Tired of pathetic bat durability
Surprised the prism broke but I guess no matter how well bats are made they’ll all break eventually (some earlier than others sadly). Demarini bats are usually pretty tough though. DD’s had her prism for a while now and it’s held up pretty good but she’s a slapper who doesn’t make a ton of hard...- Shelia B

National teams: Some of the best teams in the nation with great hitters all down the line up, amazing fielders, and a very strong pitching staff A: The top teams in the state. Usually very strong hitters all the way down the lineup and some really good fielders. Their pitchers might not be as...- Shelia B

WHAT WINS GAMES
Once was on a team that had so many good hitters but we just could never win cause of errors. The team’s defense was so bad we would always give up around 4-8 runs on errors alone and then we’d have to try and scramble to make up for the errors with our hitting.- Shelia B

Demarini Prism Plus vs CF 2021
I feel like the sound of the prism is either a thing the kids really love or really hate. My dd personally loves the sound the prism makes (at first she thought it was dead but over time she got used to it and really started to enjoy the sound). I swear that whenever a bat performs slightly...- Shelia B

Demarini Prism Plus vs CF 2021
Dd uses the new prism and really likes it. The bat is really balanced but also has a good amount of pop. Definitely made more for a contact hitter than a power hitter though. Dd is quite small and is a slapper so she uses the prism to slap and really likes the balanced light swinging feel of the...- Shelia B

Jumping Into The Unknown
The roster is probably around 12-16 girls but we won’t know the full size until the fall season starts. Dd really likes the coach and after a long talk with me and her sisters I think she’s going to accept the offer. She’s still nervous though. This team’s fall season begins pretty early though...- Shelia B

Jumping Into The Unknown
My Dd is currently on a pretty good 16u team. However, next weekend is their last tournament. Dd has had fun with this organization but after talking to the the coaches they told us that this would probably be their last year coaching due to personal reasons. In preparation for next year Dd has...- Shelia B

Scoring Disasters: The Flaws of Letting Unknowing Parents Keep Book
I mentioned in my original post that the defense did try to throw her out but the batter was safe by a good step because of her speed. I feel like if the defense fields a bunt and tries to throw the batter out and they fail then that should definitely count as a hit. however in the scenario...- Shelia B
