    Livestream to Twitter with Mevo

    Hi All - I'm taking over streaming games for DDs team. I purchased a Mevo with the intent of live streaming to the team's Twitter account, which is what we did last summer. After playing around with the Mevo app, I now see that the live stream to Twitter button is effectively "broken" since...

    Riseball Spin Direction

    If a riseball is thrown against a tarp with proper spin direction, will the ball travel up or down the y-axis upon contact? Thanks!

    College coach interaction with pitching/hitting coach?

    In regards to recruiting prior to 9/1 of a PSAs junior year, is a coach allowed to communicate with a player's personal coach; i.e. a pitching coach unaffiliated with the player's club team? Even to give feedback on what the player could improve on?

    Potential for injury

    DD is a 13YO pitcher who throws hard. At last week's lesson her instructor was clocking her speed and saying the numbers out loud. There were a few other parents in the area watching along and as we were leaving, I heard one mumble something like, "that's all great until she gets hurt". For...

    Blast Metric Scoring Question

    Hi - To anyone with familiarity with the Blast Sensor, are the metric scores related to the individual player's goals, or will the same inputs always result in the same overall metric score independent of the goal setting? For example, my daughter's sensor is set up with the "Travel Ball 12u -...

    Interpreting camp invite emails

    Not sure if there is really an answer to this other than "every situation is different", but is there any way for a 2024 to logically tell if a prospect camp invite is legitimate interest or just trying to drum up attendance at the event? DD's team attends the big showcases and she always...

    Bringing catcher to camp

    Apologies as I know this topic is a bit silly, but if a college camp brochure indicates, "pitchers are encouraged to bring their own catcher" or something similar, can/should DD still attend without one? Do pitchers typically have a "go to catcher" that they partner up with for these events? I'm...

    Choose based on organization or team?

    When determining where to play for next season, do you always choose based on the brand/reputation of the organization rather than the dynamics of the individual team? My DD is entering first year 14U and has offers to play for two national organizations based out of the Midwest. Both are...

    Targeted pitching strategy

    DD pitches for a good second-year 12A team. Twice in a row, they've found themselves facing the same team late on Sunday, and walked away on the losing end. We will see this team again, and DD has asked what she can do to have a better chance of beating them next time. I would like to use this...

    Do good hitting instructors use video analysis?

    DD has been struggling at the plate so we took the GoPro to the field and recorded a number of her swings. We sat down together and objectively assessed her mechanics, at least to the extent a rookie parent and a 10YO are able. We both noticed a number of things for her to work on, some of which...

    How hard to push, when to back off?

    Hello! Just looking for some feedback/advice, or maybe just a place to vent. My DD currently plays for one of the higher-end 10U travel teams in our area. On the teams she's played on (travel, all stars and rec) she is consistently one of the better players, or else middle of the pack while...
