    Practice area in the house or garage?

    I would like to see pictures of that. I have no idea where something like that would even fit in my house.

    Practice area in the house or garage?

    Wish I had a basement, but down south we dont really have them. High water tables. Right now its looking like a bownet and turf in the garage. Hopefully she doesnt smash one over the net and damage my sheet rock. Pitching she will just have to make due with throwing into a bow net as well...

    Practice area in the house or garage?

    Has anyone tried a golf type net to keep your sheet rock, windows, family members safe from stray balls? I was thinking of setting up a bownet inside something like this golf net. She should be able to pitch and hit into that from a Turf pad. I have a batting cage in the front yard, but the...

    Interference? Internet umpires whats your call?

    Since I got all you looking at the thread. I need some assistance with my sons swing. He has ultra nationals try outs for his 2u prospects select gold team. Nap times, snacks and Paw patrol have really cut into his practice time.

    I removed some of the down time. The video was just a high lights of her Saturday tournament not a skills video. Hitting wise she went 2 for 5 so I didn't include 1 strike out a fielders choice and a line out.

    Well I am done talking about this play, its over and done with. My daughter wants to go play college ball. They told her she needed to start working on getting game film out there. Video editing is time consuming, and its hard to properly showcase pitching high lights. Here is her video from...

    I brought up the base line to high light where the catcher is standing. She is on the inside towards third 8-12 inches inside the plate look at the following two frames and tell me she was running her base path. If you still think she was not intending to make malicious contact then we will...

    I had to run your take by a man who has been officiating ball since the 80’s. He said by your description the fielder would evidently have to start off way away from the plate, field the ball and then run try to make a play at the plate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not particularly, there was another ump watching that saw the slide in the moment the same way I did. Lots of the fans were calling the slide into the catcher interference, the umpire should have been able to catch that easily. She was ejected for the shove.

    Perfect screen shot. Catchers foot and knee are on well inside of the base line. Runners legs and feet are on the outside of the base line and the hands and chest are on the inside of the base line. Where does the baseline connect to the plate? Front corner, the runner had ample plate to...

    I see the knee move about 3 inches. I see the runner move about 2 foot from one side of the base line to the other to cause contact.

    Prior to the play at the plate I think she should have been a bit further from the plate to allow the runner to cross. Once she moves up to set up for the throw she is in the correct position for where the ball was coming from. There was a clear sliding lane to the plate, she purposely...

    You and I see different things in regards to the catcher, was she positioned wrong at one point yes, but she moves out of the base path long before a runner approaches. The runner purposely slides into her to cause contact.
