    Dad/Mom at pitching lesson

    Assuming your daughter is a pitcher, what percentage of her lessons do you attend? Do you go to all of them because you're the catcher and/or because you need to know what she's working on? Do you think it's important for her to have some lessons that you don't attend so she's not...

    Interference ruling

    Runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out. Batter hits a grounder to the right of the pitcher. Shortstop goes to her left to play it and the runner from 2nd plows into her. Ump correctly calls interference on the runner. What is the result of the play? Who ends up on what bases and who is out?

    Coach assisting player running

    I saw a game this weekend where a player got a base hit. The 1st base coach high fived her while the ball was being thrown in. The throw got away from the infield and the coach yelled, "Go!" and sort of pushed the runner slightly toward second base. The runner made it easily, the ump didn't...

    Only run in MA state championship game should not have counted

    This is an interesting story. The MA D1 state championship game ended 1-0 but an umpire who read the story says the run should not have counted. Tough way to lose but nothing can be done about it now. Only run in Amherst Regional state softball title loss now called into question | GazetteNET...

    Pitching styles

    It was very interesting watching the Auburn-Tennessee game last night. Both teams had very good pitchers but their styles were quite different. Angel Bunner, the lefty from Auburn, has a very open style and releases the ball from an almost fully open position. Ellen Renfroe, the Tennessee...

    Lessons during the season?

    Do you continue with pitching lessons during the season? If so, do you have them at the same frequency that you did during the offseason or do you just have the occasional "checkup"?

    Is anyone familiar with this blog? I used to read it on a regular basis and then about 8 months ago, the person writing it stopped blogging. I thought it provided a lot of good information. Girls Fastpitch Softball

    Ideal height for pitchers?

    I know that softball pitchers come in all shapes and sizes but I was wondering if there is an ideal height for a fully grown pitcher? Is the taller the better the rule of thumb? This seems to be the case in baseball. For example, I've heard that the ideal height for an NFL QB is around 6'4"...
