It's a different year in the top 25
Seeing some traditionally strong teams struggle (Cajuns, UCLA, and some others). Pitching has really become watered down. Very few teams have strong pitchers 1 through 4. Could make for an interesting season and tournament.- BT3100

The value of the right pitching coach
North Penn High school in Lansdale PA has now had the last 3 Gatorade Player of the year tropies awarded to their pitchers. If you go back to the year prior to Covid that makes 4 of 5 GPOTY awards in PA that were awarded to pitchers. That may not seem surprising but.. all 3 pitchers who won...- BT3100

LSU
Off to a rough start this year. I noticed that this year their pitchers are no longer crow hopping. Velocity seems down too. They're running the risk of falling out of the top 25. They play Gerry and the Cajuns today. That's gonna be a good match up.- BT3100

Some great matchups this weekend!
Looking forward to UCLA vs Oregon. Lombardi seems to have turned that program back into a winner. Big test this weekend with 2 agaisnt the bruins. Garcia hasn't pitched since she got hurt in the first inning of game 1 vs CSF. Hope she is back in the circle soon. What games are you looking...- BT3100

Official 2021 High School ball is all Political Thread!
Last year with most seasons canceled we didn't hear much about hidden agendas or politics with high school softball. Tryouts are happening now or will be soon. Any drama?- BT3100

Penta dazzles in her debut!
Northeast players can make it in the SEC. Maddie Penta tossed a no hitter in her first game for Auburn. Faced the same team 24 hours later and she tossed a 1 hitter for the 3-1 victory. No one works harder and my DD had the privilege of playing with her last year and she'll be the first to...- BT3100

The other side to the "Multi-Sport Athlete"
I usually chuckle when I hear about the benefits of the multi-sport athlete. I truly understand and fully appreciate the point of view that kids should engage in as many sports as possible for various reasons. However when the time comes to specialize I don't think that the specialization...- BT3100

Dugout options?
DD's High School had a goal of raising funds to install dugouts at their field. Our high school field is nice but for some reason they never installed dugouts. We tried to petition to add them for years to no avail. Good news is that over the last few months the girls have raised an amount...- BT3100

Share a memory when your team was clearly outclassed
We all remember the good days but how about the really bad days lol. Our first year at 14s we were convinced we were a very good team. Had a good fall and went into winter workouts with momentum. First tourney out of the shoot in spring we head to Cherry Blossoms in Virginia ready to go. It was...- BT3100

Why do you Umpire?
Wondering why you do it? Can't be for the fortune and fame :) DD is a senior and a few teams have asked me to help coach next year. Not sure why lol. But I do want to stay around the game so I am considering the ump route. I know its hard work and little pay but wanted your insights. TIA- BT3100

What coach or organization are you thankful for?
Happy Thanksgiving week.. Who has had a positive impact on you or your DD? Maybe it was a coach who refused to accept anything less than her best?- BT3100

If you had to do it all over again....
What would you change? What worked well? Did your DD get all she could out of the game? What would you share with new parents on this board?- BT3100

I saw one of the best pitched games I've seen in a decade
We faced a team from Covina on Saturday, I won't get into details as it's not my place but their pitcher was just fantastic. She reminded me of a UCLA pitcher that I follow. This young lady not only threw a perfect game against our team at the 18u gold level but she only had a batter to 3...- BT3100
