    Worst call ever

    Yes, she was completely outside of the catcher's box before the pitch was delivered. The umpire recognized that he called an illegal pitch, but for some reason refused to enforce the penalty.

    9 Minutes Per Day - hitting routine - dev. by my 12 YO - Incorporating Glasco's Tips

    I'm glad the subject was brought up. I'd ditch the drills that start with her hands at the waist. They're promoting a handsy, pull swing. Perhaps the bat on the should is fine, but the hands should be higher.

    rounding 1st on a walk

    I think there may be some variations of the timings and a general lack of specificity on what "immediate" means.

    rounding 1st on a walk

    Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't mind the LBR. Sure, it could be tweaked to make it less confusing and it would be nice if the rule was the same across the sanctioning bodies. Since we don't allow leads in our sport, we need something to get the runner back to the base in a way that...

    Worst call ever

    Tie game in the bottom of the seventh in the district finals, my DD's team is up with a runner on 3rd. Other team decides to intentionally walk our hitter (this was before rule change and the pitches had to be pitched), the catcher sets up outside the catcher's box and the umpire, appropriately...

    Worst call ever

    I demand a 10-page thread to discuss this outrageous miscarriage of justice.

    18U PGF Championship - Which illegal move irks you more?

    Thanks for setting me straight.

    18U PGF Championship - Which illegal move irks you more?

    The crow hopping irks me more because it is rarely called. The stepping out of the box is probably just an honest mistake, but it is more likely to get called than the crow hop. From a rule standpoint, it should be a "no pitch" and a ball to the hitter (runners advance). The illegal contact...

    DD 06 pitching evaluation needed

    Ok, cool. Looks like a good drill. Just wanted to get the context. Thanks!

    DD 06 pitching evaluation needed

    Is this a drill, because that is an illegal pitch?

    DD 06 pitching evaluation needed

    I think she has some really good repeatable mechanics and based on what I'm seeing, probably has really good control. I think she's lacking leg drive, however. I'd like to see her start with her right heel on the pitcher's plate and use the ball of her foot to push off. She needs to load up the...

    The importance of being coachable

    As a coach when a player has a private coach, I will usually defer to the private coaching as long as it produces results. If it isn't working or isn't improving, I'll make suggestions. I'm smart enough to know I don't know everything, hopefully the private coach feels the same. Have you talked...

    DD's Swing evaluation

    Kinovea. It's free. Kinovea The .mp4 format wasn't viewable in a browser, so I used VLC (another freeware video program) to convert the .mp4 to .mp4 that would play.

    DD's Swing evaluation

    Agree. It's why she has to drop her hands to hit the ball. She isn't tilting over the ball enough.

    DD's Swing evaluation

    Some thoughts: Back foot is angled towards the catcher. Straighten that out to provide more resistance for the coil. Head is down looking at the ball before the swing. She should be looking out at the imaginary pitcher before finding the ball. Hands are dropping a bit low, contributing to the...
