Little League minors game last night. My daughter started at SS then pitched innings 2-3. She then played SS for the 4th and the coach tried to put her back in at pitcher for the last inning.
The umpire wouldn't let her re-enter at pitcher. Then a "discussion" on the infield takes place...
Last night while packing up to head to practice,I noticed my 10u daughter's first "real" bat was cracked.
Over the last couple weeks it seemed at though some balls weren't coming off her bat with as much authority as they normally do.

I didn't feel like spending $20 on a store bought mallet. I cut the barrel off an old t-ball bat and dug out an old 12" softball. Drilled a 7/8" hole in the ball and epoxied the handle in the ball. It's working well.

My 10 year old has taken a liking to the UACMW-200.
My 9 year old joined a 10u travel team last fall. Mainly as a catcher but some 3rd base mixed in. We bought her a GXS101 based on reviews here on DFP. She caught 9 games in the fall,and attends twice weekly pitcher/catcher clinics.
Its been a fine mitt,but I don't see it lasting through the...
