    Catcher throwing to 2nd & contact with the batter

    I am interested to hear the rules regarding this situation. A left handed batter reaches for an outside pitch trying to bunt it and misses. As the catcher is throwing the ball to 2nd for a stealing base runner, the batter hits the catcher with the bat as she is pulling the bat back to her body...

    Another "How do you score this?" :)

    Soft line drive to LF. The LF is running in and dives but doesn't make the catch. The ball bounces off her glove and rolls maybe 10 feet away, enough for the hitter to make it to second. If she plays it 'normally' and let's the ball drop, the runner very likely won't make it to second, just a...

    High School Weight Lifting Programs & Pitching

    Wanted to get some thoughts and opinions on what folks think about your generic HS weight lifting program and how they impact softball pitchers. My DD is a freshman in HS. She plays basketball & softball. She's been taking the school's Advanced Physical Conditioning class the second semester...

    How do you score this?

    Batter hits a line drive over the 3B right shoulder. 3b reaches over her head for it but deflects it into foul territory and the batter gets to 2nd. Ball was hit pretty hard. Debate in the stands was it should be an error since 3B got a glove on it. I say it is at least single because the ball...

    Seeking feedback

    Looking for any thoughts or opinions on mechanics. I know speed isn't everything, but she's topped out at 58-59 for about 2 years now. Looking to gain some speed. Thank you.

    Jerrad Hardin camps?

    I know OnDeck is a good camp to go to. What about Jerrad Hardin camps? Anyone know anything about it? Worth it?

    Burn the Ships - a NPF movie

    I like these types of movies/shows. Looking forward to this. As a side note - Kelly Montalvo was a fielding instructor at the Indiana Clinic this year and she was amazing. One of the best instructors I've ever seen. She's shown through the trailer. Burn the Ships Movie

    Balanced versus End Loaded

    DD has always used a balanced bat. What's the story with end loaded? I assume they are for power hitters? I've seen the 2016 Demarini a couple of times out there, but I don't think they were used by power hitters. So, when/if is the right time to switch if a switch should happen?

    How do you score this?

    Runner on 1st. Batter bunts, pitcher fields the ball, wants to throw to first, but no one covers. Its too late to get the out at second.

    Pitching Gloves

    Looking to get DD a new glove. Her org gets discounts from Wilson, so I am looking at getting a A2K model. I noticed they have a pitching model where the webbing is designed to hide the grip, I guess? How important is that? Can a batter really see the grip through the webbing? Also, if I got...

    *HUMOR* Please pray for DD - finally getting it right with IR

    Finally found a pitching coach in the area that teaches IR. DD has been pitching for over 3 years the wrong way and it is time to rectify that. New coach is adamant that her mechanics are the reason for her stress fracture earlier this year. She's had 2 lessons with lots of focus on leading...

    How much does ball compression/COR really matter with regards to game outcome?

    Having a discussion with another dad. His daughter plays on the best 12u team in the area. This team has decided to not play a certain ABC org because they changed their required ball specs. The coaches and dads all think by making the ball 'mushier' it takes away their hitting advantage. They...

    Fun things happen at the hotel

    Witnessed a mom lose her mind on a hotel manager this weekend just because the manager asked all of the kids in the hotel to stop running around. Mom was pretty rude and belligerent, so the manager called the cops and the cops made the whole team leave the hotel. It served for a good hour or so...

    Best option for 3rd pitch?

    DD will be making the move to 12u next year. When is the best time to start learning a 3rd pitch? What is the best option for a 3rd pitch? I've heard both riseball and dropball. Any advice/opinion is appreciated.

    Good or bad etiquette?

    You are playing the winner of the current game on the field. As soon as the game ends and the teams go out for the handshake line, you have your players grab their gloves, run through the dugout onto the field so that you can practice ground balls before your game. You in no way hindered the...
