    FS: 2018 Ghost, 33/23

    2018 Ghost, was received as a warranty replacement but had minimal use before my daughter went to college and started getting her bats from there. It has some surface marks from being in and out of a bat bag and my milk crate of old bats, but never used in a game and only maybe one or two cage...

    Long shot, maybe...anybody have a wiring schematic/diagram for a Jugs BP3? Gotta repair one and would rather know what I'm looking at before I open it up.

    Obstruction Rule on a Steal?

    Can there be obstruction called on a 1B for impeding the runner's path on a steal? Let's assume for the sake of argument that the 1B does not intentionally get in the runner's way.

    Yet Another Obstruction Thread

    So in the Drexel/Wagner game yesterday there was an obstruction call at home. Link to the video is below. Sorry for no audio, the umpire called the runner out (loudly!) but then put the arm out and called obstruction on the catcher. Coach argued the call unsuccessfully. You make the...

    Maybe Dumb Question About Recruiting

    So I am a coach on my daughter's 14U team, and I'm also handling most of the recruiting chores (talking to coaches at showcases and camps, handing out brochures, etc). The team had a successful season this fall and got some interest from a number of coaches, mostly mid-level D1. All the players...

    Base Coach Helmet for Big Head

    Hey all...anybody have a recommendation for a base coach helmet in a size bigger than 7 5/8? I have a 7 7/8-8 hat size and need something for protection in the batting cages (ricochets are killing me). Navy blue or black would be preferable. Thanks!

    16U/18U Showcase/Gold Teams: How much time off?

    Just curious...how much "time off" does the typical 18U Gold team take off each year? I'm talking about "downtime" when the team is not practicing, usually in the winter. I've talked to parents from a few teams and it seems like many of them shut down during December or November/December. Is...

    Verbal Commit last year, now other schools are expressing interest. What to do?

    DD verballed last October as a sophomore. She got a very good offer from a local school, not quite at her academic level but a decent softball program and she really likes the school. The coach is a great guy and it seems like a good fit. Since then, she has taken her SATs and gotten a very...

    Broken Finger

    So my 12U DD broke her middle pitching finger...she will be unable to pitch for 8-10 weeks due to the type of fracture it is. Looking for drills that can she do in the meantime to keep in shape without having to actually grip a softball. Any suggestions? Question 2: Is there any rule against...

    Louisville Xeno Pro vs. Icon Gloves?

    I'm looking for a new 12.5" fielder's glove for my DD, who is verbaled to a school that has Louisville as their equipment sponsor (enrolling in 2017). I want to get her a Louisville glove. I'm seeing the Icon as the top-line glove on their website, but that line seems to be discontinued when...

    Bat Removed From Game

    Scenario: 18U ASA Tournament last weekend, DD's first plate appearance in the semifinal game. She hits a double to left field, after the play is over the plate umpire calls time and removes the bat from the game, stating that it made a "rattling sound". The bat is a couple month old Louisville...

    Another Vinci Thread

    Just want to say thanks to Casey for the quick service...12U DD2 wanted a new catcher's mitt as her new Nokona turned out to be too big for her hand and she hadn't used it at all this year. She had been using my old Easton instead. I contacted Casey last week and he had a new JCV-22 on the way...

    Yet another runner hit by batted ball question.

    PONY Tournament rules. Bases loaded, one out, R2 is hit by a batted ground ball before the ball passes the SS. Umpire calls dead ball, runner is out. R3 is given home on the play, umpire stating that "she had to advance on the hit, there is nowhere else for her to go". Coach argued...

    Bat Inspection?

    Playing 12U NSA this past weekend, a batter on DD's team hit a line drive back at the pitcher and hit her in the foot. Pitcher went down for a moment but stayed in the game (moved to RF). After the at-bat, the PU confiscated the bat, stating that any batted-ball related injury had to result in a...

    Easton SRV5B

    So I have a brand-new Easton SRV5B (33/24) in the wrapper that has the USSSA stamp and wondering how long this bat will be ASA/NSA legal. If it won't be legal after this year I'll probably sell it, since my daughter won't be big enough to use it for another couple of years. Any indication on...

    Another D1 Softball program bites the dust...

    Temple University announced today that they would be terminating 7 sports, including their softball program. Sad news for my family as my daughter had Temple on her short list. Temple University cuts 7 intercollegiate sports | 6abc.com

    Tanel (or Other) Cleats?

    My team has used Ringor cleats for years, but for whatever reason, Ringor has stopped making the royal/black combination that we've always purchased. So we're looking for other options that come in that color combo, rather than going to the solid black Ringors. Any opinions on Tanel cleats? Or...
