    Looking for a I/R pitching instructor near Myrtle Beach for a college pitcher

    We moved to the MB area last year. She really misses her I/R coach. If any are around this area, I would love to get some help in the next month before she goes back to school. I am good at catching, but I just can't give her good mechanical advice. She just needs someone to help...

    Last year's seniors are coming back this weekend for homecoming, only 1 player wants to see them

    That is leaving your legacy. Being universally despised (for good reason) from all (but one) of the players on the team from the previous year. Some of their skills will certainly be missed. But unity wise, this is such a better team. Last year was the only time the then seniors made...

    Getting the save without throwing a pitch?

    This happened a few years ago. We had a huge lead. Our pitcher gets tired. We kept her in. Other teams mounts a huge comeback. Time is expiring - like basically no time left at all. We are up by a run or two with two outs. Runners on base. We make a pitching change. Our new...

    My daughter has regressed in college

    Her college had an early fall season. So she came in and started pitching in games right away. She did great. Her first two games were against a low-level D1 team. 6 perfect innings with 14ks. She was clearly one of the top pitchers on the team. The fall season ended, then they started...

    My daughter signed her NLI in November 2021. Still no announcement from the school

    There are many schools who have already announced their 2022 classes. On signing day this year, my daughter was pitching with the coach and mentioned she was enjoying seeing all the announcements where various girls were going. Her coach was dumbfounded. "You mean people post that? I...

    Catcher making diving catch

    I only wish I had reflexes like this. Not my kid.

    How many days a week is a college pitcher going to pitch?

    I know the number will vary. But I am trying to figure out if what I am seeing is in the ballpark. My daughter is a freshman pitcher in college. I knew her pitching workload was going to increase in college, but I am shocked at how much pitching she is doing. I am trying to gauge if I am...

    Riseball location

    My daughter is generally an east/west pitcher and does a great job hitting the corners (green on the plate) She is working on her riseball in practice with me, and I want to make sure she gets her spots down correctly. It seems to me that is not a corner pitch. The ides is to make it look...

    Two thumbs up for Vinci's customer service. I am floored

    My wife ordered me a custom Vinci catcher's glove on Black Friday. The Vinci site said to order by Dec 1 to get it in time for Christmas. Around December 18, they wrote my wife saying the glove would not be done in time. So they sent out a catcher's glove they had in stock to us so I would...

    Questions about lessons

    So how much of a lesson time is spent on mechanics vs pitch location? I speculate, based on what I see at games, the ratio is about 100% on mechanics and 0% for location for most pitching lessons. Or, am I totally off and hitting a location is a very difficult skill to learn that most girls...

    I forgot to pick up my gopro after the game. When I went back, it was gone

    I have my name and phone number taped to the LynkSpyder. I checked with the lost and found at the field, and it was not there. So whoever picked it up knows exactly who it belongs to and how to reach me. They are just stealing it. I know this happens, but it is unfathomable to me that...

    Scholarship question

    I will know this answer myself in a few days after my daughter writes her coach, but I am anxious to know the answer now. My daughter has been verbally told her athletic and academic scholarship amounts from the school she picked (2021). Today she received her official acceptance package from...

    Pitching after shoulder labral tear

    My daughter injured her throwing shoulder at the end of January. She has been in PT since and we are hoping to get an MRA soon. The doctor is unsure if she has impingement or if there is a labral tear. [won't bore you with all the details. We are getting a second opinion] So I a...

    Lots of shoulder discomfort after last practice

    My daughter is a 2021. She is a pitcher who has multiple offers from colleges. On defense, she is pretty much a pitcher only but can play some outfield. The coach decided she has to play some first base this summer. She says no - she is not good at it and does not want to do it. He insists...

    Average scholarship by college

    I am guessing this has been posted here before. I am not sure how old this is, but I have found it very informative. I am assuming it is accurate. https://www.flosoftball.com/articles/5056100-how-college-softball-scholarships-break-down-by-state My guess on what this is. flosoftball found...

    Tried the two step drill tonight for the first time

    This was my daughter's first time out in 6 weeks. I was trying to get her to pitch at 80% and try out the two step drill. Neither one of us excel at looking at videos and applying them perfectly. It sure looks to me like she is stepping down instead of more of a step back. Looking for...

    To spread some Christmas cheer, I offer you these recruitng videos

    If you can throw a legit 65 mph, you can put out most any video you want. This will probably be the funniest thing you see all day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBdlUjbf12E She got a full ride to a D-I mid-major. I will throw in her bonus Easter video where you can actually see her...

    Fall highlight video

    I tried to incorporate the suggestions made from my earlier highlight video post. More information on the opening screen and her name on every clip. I also moved away from so many fastballs and tried to show all her pitches. This was by far her best year in ERA and WHIP. She spent all...

    Season highlight video - pitching and hitting

    Go Pro clips from the season. First year at 16u. I should point out she no longer throws her bat. <video removed> Until I actually make a skills video, this is all she has to send college coaches.
