    Recruiting Out of JUCO

    Thank you that is encouraging. She is hitting the JUCO pitching hard and played high level travel for two years. The pitching we saw in Colorado and such tournaments was probably better than what she sees now. She’s a power hitting 5’10 SS and was without a doubt the offensive leader of the team...

    Recruiting Out of JUCO

    Hello everyone. My daughter, after having been recruited to a mid level D2, decided that the cost of attending an out of state school was more than she wanted to have on her balance sheet after graduation. As a result she is commuting to and playing for a D3 JUCO. They have a good team but the...

    2010 Ghost

    2020 Ghost sorry for the typo. So I have what I hope is a simple question. Who caved? Did USSSA agree to have ASA compression level bats as legal or did Easton basically eliminate the Blue Ghost and now market one bat that meets USSSA standards? I just went online and the blue ghosts are flying...

    Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching

    You are 100% right Sparky. These four years will fly by just like the last four I’m sure. I just want to enjoy it and see her do well softball wise too. The years after age 22 are what’s important no doubt. Softball is the cherry on top but it sure beats her not playing after high school in my...

    Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching

    Thank you Ken, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Truthfully, pitching wise that is pretty much what she has been seeing in travel. You will get the D1 commit thrown in here and there but I would say most fall into the second category. I agree about the coaching. I think there is a...

    Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching

    Thank you everyone. For years this has been an abstract thing. A goal we were reaching for and looked at kind of as the finish line. The reality is a whole new race is just beginning. All through travel ball getting committed was the goal. Now it is not just making the roster, but getting on the...

    Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching

    Haha thanks a lot. Well at least that pitcher has graduated. Holy smokes 0.92 ERA. That’s in the unhittable category for sure. It’s just hard to know what to expect. So much time and effort went into getting here and of course now she will have to prove herself all over again just like all of...

    Advice on What to Expect D2 Pitching

    My daughter has committed to a mid level D2 school. They usually do go to the NCAA D2 tournament but the conference competition seems to be on the weaker side. Like any Dad I want her to succeed and I’m fearful that the pitching will be so much better than that which she has seen. I don’t know...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    I'm not gonna offer anything technical but I have been doing this with my daughter for a few years and I would say, without a doubt, she is ready to move up to an elite team. Certainly by next fall.

    2018 Easton Ghost

    My daughter's hitting coach thinks she should be swinging a 34 inch bat. My question is this: Is the compression the same for the Blue Ghost for both 33 and 34 inches? Currently she is swinging a 33/23 we are thinking about moving to a 34/25 and I am curious to know if they raise the...

    In State vs Out of State Tuition

    Very helpful thanks.

    In State vs Out of State Tuition

    My daughter recently committed to a D2 program. Not a lot of scholarship money but it's a good program and the school fits her academically and I think she will play. It's a state school and we are out of state. Price wise it's reasonable but there is about a 10,000 per year difference between...

    Colorado Fireworks All Star Game

    It is the Sparkler sorry I guess I used the wrong name. It's her first time playing with anyone other than a B team and it's a whole new experience. She's a junior and they can talk to her so I guess the more exposure the better. Maybe she'll do something phenomenal and catch someones eye :D...

    Colorado Fireworks All Star Game

    So my daughter's team is going out to the Colorado Fireworks tournament in a couple weeks. She has been invited to play in an "All Star" game prior to the tournament with a $165 fee attached. The claim is that there will be coaches attending the games (multiple games) and that they choose...

    Videoing Games? I got booted.

    Quincy based on what I wrote do you think I deserved to get thrown out of the game? That is what happened. I'm an honest man I'm telling the complete accurate truth. I personally was embarrassed. I have never been thrown out of a game in four years of softball either school ball rec league or...

    Videoing Games? I got booted.

    So since the start of fall season I have been videoing and posting my daughter's team's games to YouTube. The players, parents and coaches seem to like it because they can pull good plays off the video and review how they did and maybe what they need to improve on. For those of us who just love...
