    Moving to 43'

    My dd played up 16U this weekend and gave up more runs in this tournament than she had in the last 6 tournaments combined. She throws in the mid to upper 50's with good spin and movement and has been pretty successful at 14U. Once she got used to the distance, she was good about hitting her...

    Feeling Grateful

    Today started just like any other crazy day, but ended up being something really special. When we got home today, my 13yo daughter had a small card waiting on the table from her new pitching coach. She's been with him for about 2 months, and he has asked a lot of her. She ripped open the...

    Suggestions for Pitch Tracking Application

    My dh is a software developer and is in the process of developing a pitch tracking application for Android phones and eventually i-pod/i-phone.

    Pitching Injury - Poor Field to Blame?

    My 13 year-old dd has a pulled hamstring on her landing leg and sciatica. She pitched a lot of innings this past weekend, but usually this wouldn't be a problem. Saturday night, she had to come in cold in relief and pitch in one of the worst circle's she's ever seen. There was not just a hole...

    Stats? How to address it when Coach makes a mistake.

    I'm a newbie, and normally try to stay off message boards, but I could really use some advice. My daugther, after a shoulder injury in the fall, has struggled at the plate this spring. She used to hit in the 500 range and see tons of at-bats. Now...well let's say she's had less than half the...
