Captains: Yes or No?
I coach 12U Rec and All Star level softball in San Diego, and I’m naming a captain next week when Spring jerseys are handed out. I have a team full of mostly 6th graders, but our catcher is a very mature, focused, and quiet 7th grader. I want to to reward her for her professional and focused...- tommyGunZ

Ghost Advance vs Ghost Dual Stamp (2020)
Will be interesting to see exit velocity data on the new GA and how the changes to the inner and outer barrels that @CoreSoftball20 detail above effect performance. The 2020 GAs are the hottest bats I’ve seen but obviously durability was suspect, at best. I hope Easton didn’t sacrifice much...- tommyGunZ

“Off-season” throwing routine - stay sharp or just rest?
DD is a 2028 who just moved from 10U to 12U this fall. Team is dark for 6-8 weeks, so I’m trying to determine the best use of that time. She threw 252 innings in 2021, so I’m debating whether to give her 6 weeks off to completely rest, or to keep throwing short bullpens (2-3 days a week) just...- tommyGunZ

Demarini Prism Plus
My daughter got the 31-20 and loves it. Was hitting the 2020 Prism before but after 1 cage session she’s moved to the plus almost exclusively. Seems to be hot out of the wrapper but her black prism got more trampoline after a few hundred hits, so I’m hoping the plus follows suite. Will report...- tommyGunZ

One runner doubled off on a fly ball - does the tag up run count if scored before double up?
1 out, runners on 3B and 1B. Batter hits fly ball to CF. CF catches the ball. Runner on 3B tags up, and beats the throw to the plate, ball gets by the catcher and rolls to the backstop. Runner from 1B had a brain fart and never tagged up, and ran all the way to 3B while all of the attention...- tommyGunZ

Parents of older pitchers, what do you know now that you wish you knew when it first started.
Great thread guys! My DD is a 2010 pitcher (finishing 1st year of 10U) and I’ve found many of these posts helpful. We recently switched to IR (shout out to Powerhouse Mechanics!) and I’ve seen improvement in velocity and accuracy, but my DD still doesn’t quite get the WHIP. Is the 9 o’clock...- tommyGunZ
