    POP times...

    A great pop time is a deterrent not a solution. More often than not the runner will prevail.

    Same one I have. Could be a legit 69mph pitch or if you tweak the settings the pitch could have been in the low 60's.

    Is hitting off a pitching machine necessary?

    At SC they had a few. Camera mounted behind the hitter with a flat screen behind the net. Was on a delay so they could take a cut and then see it on the screen and make adjustments on the next one. Had metrics on exit velocity, launch angle, etc. All the tools to succeed, just needed to...

    ESPN guns recalibrated this year.

    Pocket radar is a very basic tool and will give you the top speed so you are getting the velocity out of the hand. An actual radar gun provides both the top end speed out of the hand and the terminal velocity at the plate. The greater the difference between the two the better. Most guns have...

    Is hitting off a pitching machine necessary?

    How many high level college teams do NOT use one? I often hear players say they can't hit off a machine. I tell them they are correct, they can't hit.

    Question for the high school parents

    Advice RE Recruiting, etc

    Sure, if that is practical. But unless you are along the I80 corridor there is not much Nebraska has to offer.

    Advice RE Recruiting, etc

    She is in Iowa which is the unicorn of HS softball. Unless things have changed they play in the summer and there is not much in the way of summer TB.

    committing in middle school?

    That only works well if your kid has a clue with respect to their major and the school she ends up attending has a graduate program in that field of study. Due to the pandemic there are a lot of 5th year players stuck in BS graduate programs that they have no intention of finishing. When my...

    STATE TROOPER: I stopped you because you were driving 79 in a 70mph zone. DRIVER: I was going the same speed as everyone else! STATE TROOPER: Ever go fishing? DRIVER: Yes, every chance I get. STATE TROOPER: Ever catch all the fish? Just because a rule is not enforced 100% of the time...

    Any pitcher serving up a meatball like that should work at Olive Garden. Only thing missing was the marinara sauce.

    Plate hitting position opinions?

    Wish that would have been called in the SEC when my kid was in the circle. At least it was consistent and she knew what to expect. :)
