    Passed Ball or Wild Pitch?

    DD is a catcher who also pitches in a pinch. Used to be primarily a pitcher. We stopped worrying about whether the ball was a wild pitch or a passed ball. Catcher already knows whether the pitch was wild. Don't need to see it in stats. Worrying about those things divides the battery. Had...

    Easton Pro-X Catcher's Helmet

    Crazy thing is that she thinks it looks cool now. I think she likes being the only kid on the block with one of these. Little does she know that these are becoming way more common behind the dish in the MLB parks...

    Easton Pro-X Catcher's Helmet

    The Easton Pro-X catcher's helmet is a very nice improvement. Prior to it making its way onto the scene, we went with a different alternative worth considering: DD has the Force 3 Defender Hockey Style Mask V2. I got it for her because of the shock suspension system and the extended cage to...

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I"m just amazed by the guys I run into who are convinced the run scores in this situation and often use it in their play calling.

    Asking the guys smart on the rules because I don't know the answer. I have an idea, but I've been wrong from time to time, so here goes... Two outs, runner on third. Coach calls a suicide squeeze. Runner goes on pitch. Bunt is fair. Runner reaches home plate safely. Batter gets out at...

    Charging the ball

    For any sport, at under 10 years of age, it's all about the snacks.

    Left Handed Pitcher

    So true. Pitching will also test the fortitude of your young pitcher. For some crazy reason, your DD will be treated differently once she becomes a pitcher. She might be encouraged by some teammates while shunned by other teammates (especially the girls she will be splitting circle time...

    Please keep the Glasco family in your prayers.

    Geri Ann helped coach a day long clinic for DD's organization a couple years ago. It was really cool talking to her while helping out with the clinic. After all the girls got their swings in on front toss, the organizer begged her to take a few front toss swings. Reluctantly, she agreed to...

    Another Oregon player transfers

    That is very true.

    Another Oregon player transfers

    My first thought was this is crazy. But something must be said about the limited number of local students on a roster. I followed both Oregon and Oregon State last year. Looked like OSU played their California players all the time, and the local grown players played sparingly. If anyone from...

    Catchers helmet/added concussion protection

    Thanks to all the catcher's dads for posting their tips. For those who have eliminated the forehead mounts, has DD had any trouble getting their catching helmet pass equipment check at the beginning of a tournament? Most of the time, do they even notice the modifications?

    Pitch Calling - Important?

    That's a bad assumption.

    Pitch Calling - Important?

    Sorry for getting to the thread late, but IME most pitchers and catchers don't want to call pitches. Every once in a while they'll ask for a certain pitch, but not the whole game. They don't want to be that player that made the wrong call. No matter how much we've tried to develop our...

    Ivy question

    Great SAT Score! Congratulations!! Regardless of her choice of school, please tell me she's still applying for admission to some of the Ivies. If she were to get in and the picture may become more clear, the decision making process may change a bit.
