    "Liking the coach" and performance

    The op mentioned college ball. At that level it is more business, so things change quite a bit. It is possible to have a head coach with more distance from the players and have assistants they like.

    Offensive and Defensive Strategies

    My Plan to Win: 1. Play Great Defense For me this means making all the routine plays, being conservative on defense, and avoiding ever giving up more than 2 runs in an inning. 2. Score First Whenever possible. If the other team was up and didn't score, we will play for one so as...

    Just a little bragging

    in response to your question this is what I see: When the player pivots or squares to bunt, it is a sacrifice. If it was bunt for a hit, ther are better techniques imo. Assuming it is a sacrifice, I think her body is in good position, but I teach to have the bat at eye level, and arms...

    Should we use MLB hitters as examples?

    I am not disagreeing with anything posted, but Does the fact that softball hitters never have to switch to a wood bat matter? They have a much bigger sweet spot, correct?

    Hitting Baseballs in the cage

    I always thought hitting baseballs was bad for a fastpitch bat because the baseball is harder in terms of core and compression. The teams I am associated with both go to a cage with baseballs for front toss, and use them. Realistically is it a bad idea for strong high school girls to hit...

    First Base Mitt?
