I’ve got a good one for this thread
Yesterday my DD was pitching. She’s not
any kind of dominating pitcher she can do it when needed (great centerfielder) 3/4 pitches into the top 1st she’s called for a illegal pitch
Reason?? Jumping? nope. Too much toe drag!! Drag was can be distracting to...
Runner on 2nd
Less than 2 out
Batter hits to the right side
Plays is to first. Out or safe doesn’t matter.
Runner on 2nd advances to 3rd
Rounds the base baiting 1st baseman to throw
1st base with the ball runs toward
3rd thru the circle, hands ball to pitcher who is out of the circle
Is...
14yo DD was, can be a very successful pitcher I know what’s wrong here even know the fix but
Nothing seems to get thru to her
This only started end of last year
Suggestions on an approach
No longer a pitcher she’s an aimer
The result here ends up usually a flat up in the zone pitch that’s...
Man I used to love slow pitch. A lot of good times now it’s fastpitch with my DD
Even More good memories I tend to whine but I’ve been around this game for close to 45 years never gets old
But in slow pitch if the ump calls it illegal while in the air the batter has the option to hit it or let it go by...High arc 6and 12?
So the batter knows it’s a ball before the swing Which is fairly common in this case
Your right it should have been declared illegal before it was over the...
Drop dead has bitten our team more than once. Ready for another? You couldn’t make this stuff up:bases loaded
Drop dead time under ten minutes opposing coach slowly strolls out to the mound then slowly back. Closer to 5 minutes now. Next pitch she rolls it on the ground!! No one knew what to...
Drop dead is tough my DDs team lost a game when they were actually winning
Drop dead rule went into effect with 2 outs in the bottom half of the inning but they revert back to the last completed inning. The worst part was there wasn’t another game after them! It needs to be used with common...
Took a trip to Clearwater a few weeks back with my DD and we watched team USA play Mississippi state we were looking forward to the Olympics. Came home and both of us got really sick just getting over it now! The lady’s of USA looked awesome!! USA USA USA
So the girl who pitches faster is between 56-59 ( that’s what I’m told) her changeup tends to be up in the zone her go to pitch is the fastball with little movement
The pitcher not as fast is still 52-54 changeup is 39/40 her I’ve seen on radar.
Heavy spin/moves but if she doesn’t sneak that...
Let me add this....the pitcher not as fast has excellent mound presence a knack
For getting out of sticky situations. The pitcher who is faster is also taller and seems to bring more of an intimidating
Presence. Thanks madbandit22 your reply was great
I was looking for some feed back
About a conversation recently.
For a 13yo pitcher would coaches
Prefer a pitcher who can really bring the heat/hit her spots say average.Or a P with ok speed but has a really good /borderline exceptional changup
Being able to hit her spots fairly consistent...
That’s fine but my gripe Mainly was with the time stalling. I haven’t spoken with the coach about what was said at home plate before the game ( I may not) so I’m not sure other parents didn’t hear it as well. I go out to center field when my DD pitches. So the rule I don’t like but I understand...
I agree with your post this game ended
And reverted back to the end of the last inning the team ahead lost, it was the bottom of the inning 2 outs and 2 strikes
On the batter. It was a asa 14 u pool play
Game DDs team didn’t win the tournament but played decent the rest of the weekend. I only...
14u class A good players and I always thought it was a judgment call it seemed clear cut for that call as the ss looked up the-sun got her it dropped. Runners all moved up, leading to a nice line drive double by the next batter clearing the bases followed by groans of the non call.
No sour...
