I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this as well UNC. While I can't speak to how frequently it happens, I do know that it has happened to us three times now...where there's more dependence on DD than would be optimal in our opinion. I mean I get the "a true pitcher want's the ball" argument...
Tell you what, she's very happy with her decision, though a bit sad about the position it places her old team: 1 pitcher. She has no friends on her new team. There's one or two she's bumped into competitively in the past but no friends so to speak - a whole new horizon for her with this team.

Like these?
Also, and this is not meant to sound crude, does your DD wear underwear underneath the compression shorts as well or no? That is, her normal underwear, compression shorts, and then Softball pants. Or just compression shorts and Softball Pants?
Hi folks, I'm a bucket Dad and DD is a pitcher. This post isn't about pitching though - at least not directly. This post is about wedgies...and whether or not there are any tricks to help these young ladies deal with them.
After every pitch, and DD sometimes throws a few hundred in a day...
