    Bat Sizing Guide

    I'm working on a softball bat sizing guide for my rec organization and want to come up with a quick and dirty sizing guide for softball bats for rec players.

    When to Get the Front Foot Down?

    A while back, there was a conversation about when to get the front foot down. I happen to have a 20FPS clip in my public library that I thought might add some value to the conversation. Here's Lindsay Walker of South Carolina hitting a hard single to left field.* Lindsay Walker uses a double...
