    College rule about getting hit by pitch that is over the plate?

    Watching the Tennessee game vs Stanford and it looked like the ump correctly didn’t award the base to the batter. But both times the pitches were given as balls. They looked like strikes if not hit by the batter. Is it the umpires discretion to rule ball or strike when a base isn’t awarded. If...

    Is one way communication to catchers approved for softball in NFHS

    I can find where it was approved for baseball and someone told me it is ok for softball but I am having a hard time finding any update to that rule for softball. Does anyone know for sure if it is allowed now? It would seem odd it would be allowed for baseball and not softball. Sent from my...

    How much responsibility does a high school coach have in the recruiting process now?

    Curious the differing opinions on how involved a high school coach should be in the recruiting process now? Should the coach be sending colleges information about players he thinks has the potential to play at the next level? Or is this more of a travel ball organizations job at this point...

    Odd play in the Tennessee vs Bama game

    1 out and runners on 1st and 2nd. Batter hits a home run over but it just barely cleared the wall. Runner that started on first went back to tag up on case it was caught. The batter passed the base runner briefly as she rounded first base. They ruled the batter out but counted the 2 runs for the...

    Arm management

    Arm management for pitchers gets a lot of discussion for obvious reasons but do any of you consciously manage the arm usage of position players? Is there a point where too much throwing can negatively impact them. I know some high school teams practice 4-5 times a week and then some of those...

    Should they change the mercy rule in college softball?

    With the amount of runs that can be scored in todays game should they at least increase the amount of runs to 10 after 5 innings? College baseball already plays more innings and they don’t even have a mercy rule. Just curious if most like the 8 run rule or think it should be adjusted at this...

    Could college softball players make good money in a few years?

    California is in the process of letting college athletes share in the TV revenue generated by college sports. With the popularity of college softball and the large audiences they draw on tv recently it makes you wonder about the future. It isn’t out of the question that college softball players...

    What percentage of pitching speeds that we see/hear do you think are wrong

    Had a parent of another pitcher talking about how his daughter threw pretty hard but he had seen another pitcher throwing much harder. He had stated his daughter was around 50 but this girl must be around high 50’s or even 60’s. Found out he was talking about my kid and she has never been above...

    Rise ball questions

    My DD is a 12u pitcher and we are just getting started with this pitch. We have focused on her drop/fastball and her change up. Her pitching coach was having her mess with some different grips and pitches to see what direction we wanted to head next in learning a new pitch to see if anything...
