    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Say Shaq was a transgender person when he was in college. If you gave 19 y/o Shaquille O'Neal hormones for 1 year at age 20 he would have no advantage over his female competition? Do you really need a scientific study to tell you the answer to that.

    Are you serious here?

    Just a rant

    90% (at least) is done at home/by the parent in most cases I'd bet.

    Pitchers With Less Than Perfect Mechanics

    Not seeing the spirals but here you go.

    Correcting pitcher during game

    I think you shouldn't say anything to them during a game from the dugout about mechanics. Go out there and talk to them if you really need to say something. During the game they should be competing. Focused on trying to get the batters out/win the game. Worrying about mechanics takes them...

    10u Player Daily Practice/Training Routine

    Get a batting cage in your backyard if at all possible. Towny is right. Boil it down into like a 20 or 30 minute routine(at most). You can vary it. Throw(over and underhand), hands drills(and/or catcher stuff), hit. Add in a few longer ones every now and then depending on what she...

    I need a "bracket" pitcher? What exactly does that mean?

    I have never, nor will I ever, sit on a bucket for any reason. People who sit on buckets have their players hit tires. And start throwing warm ups from 3 feet from each other flicking their wrists.

    8u pitching practice...how much is too much?

    I agree it seems like a lot of practice for 8. Especially when it seems you are not really familiar with the basics of pitching. That's a lot of time spent on things that are not that fruitful. I would cut the time you spend with her in half and use the new free time to familiarize yourself...

    31/21 moving to 32/22 or 32/23

    The mizuno was from team express last year. Headbanger sport(via amazon) had a xeno for 179 a month or so ago.

    31/21 moving to 32/22 or 32/23

    Back in 2018- 2019(and before) ghost was THE bat. And they were pretty much 1 oz overweight. I have 0 problem putting a actual 32-23 bat in a good hitters hands.

    31/21 moving to 32/22 or 32/23

    I got a mizuno cbrn1 for ~150. Was a year or so ago but I'm not paying more than 250 for a bat. I'll edit: there were 32 drop 9 xenos for 190 or about. If your paying 500 for a bat you're made of money.

    31/21 moving to 32/22 or 32/23

    Drop 9 32's are cheaper. That's why I got my dd one. I don't think it makes a big difference. I think the extra weight might actually help them learn to swing it better.

    Deciding between 3 gloves

    I think it compares to a liberty advanced more than a a2000 or hoh. Yes pretty much a steal considering prices these days.

    Deciding between 3 gloves

    I think the morgan stuart for 79$ off the easton website is a great deal. Dd is a pretty strong 2nd year 12u(has always been strong player for her age). She used an 11.5" a950 through 10u. It was great for her I thought. She has the morgan stuart which she used most of this year(1st year...

    Morgan Stuart Signature glove

    It's laced. There's a decent photo of it on the easton website.

    Morgan Stuart Signature glove

    It's a very nice glove for 80$. And perfect for a 10u player. It's not too heavy. And if she goes TIP it's serviceable all over the diamond. Edit: I'll add it didn't take long to break in at all. And it got a little floppy over the summer(probably the laces + she hits her leg while...

    Morgan Stuart Signature glove

    My daughter has/had that one. She has a wilson 1787 she uses now(2nd year 12u). The easton is not nearly as stiff as the wilson. The easton is a great glove for 10u player and that is a bargain. She used it all over the field.
