    14u+ Defensive Calls?

    I am looking for help on where to draw the line between relying on player awareness vs when to make defensive calls. This is at the 14A Level and up till now most of the situations have been left to player decisions or coaches calling it out. Specifically what plays do the high level teams...

    Success with Barnhill “style”

    This is part rant and part curiosity for what others are seeing at the different ages or regions. This year I have been watching 12uA tournaments with many of them being larger tourneys with teams from the surrounding states. The competition has been good and seeing all of these pitchers up...

    Ground-rule Triple?

    Folks, help me with this ruling that I witnessed a couple times this weekend. Playing on 300’ fields with temp fences at 200’. A decent line drive would roll to the fence and go under it and because of the delay of the roll, fielder hands going up, umpires noticing and checking the runner...

    Practice expectations by age

    9 o'clock drill feedback: True whip?

    My DD is 11 and going into first yr 12u and a little over 2 yrs of pitching at TB. In 10u her FB was above average and her CU was inconsistent but she still threw it a lot with plenty of success. Her CU would float and she got away with it due to her FB being fast enough to rush batters...
