    Softball round 2

    So, I never thought I would be back to fastpitch softball again. But remarried last year and 11 yo dd now and she is playing. It's little harder this time because she has never even seen the game played anywhere. She is from the Philippines and it's all new. She is soaking up ever thing like a...

    13yr old Bat Speed

    Just so you know dd lead her hs team .636 batting avg, home runs, rbis, doubles,walks and on base %. Then I watched her strike out 4 times in row this weekend on tb team before getting her first hit of the weekend. So all the great #s she had in hs this year meant nothing this weekend. I tell...

    13yr old Bat Speed

    Ok you know how to swear, so do you use that kind of language in front of your dd? I'm most diffently not jealous of your dds swing and never would be. My dd has and had a swing at that age that in your terms was pretty close to dead on but could use improvement and still trying to improve. I...

    13yr old Bat Speed

    You bring up good points, but peanut is saying his dd is perfect. So I would love to see a perfect swing. Also numbers don't mean anything. I have seen high exit speeds on a swing that wouldn't get the ball out of the infield and against a half way decent pitcher would be swing hard at air. Not...

    13yr old Bat Speed

    Wow, you scare me. Easy there killer. You come on here and post how great your dd is and people would like to see it. Posters are always looking for pointers on how to get their players to hit better. Since you have done this with your dd's swing. We would like to get a peak on how you have...

    13yr old Bat Speed

    Then I guess she is ready. So all those measurements aren't really needed. So they don't even matter. Although my dd has 95 mph bat speed and 99 blast factor so your dd has room for improvement. Of course that was 7 years ago, now that my dd is 18yo. She might have improved those numbers. I also...

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    Rocketech, so let's take a different approach? Yes let's do that! Let's keep to the rules. Like my dd plays by, learn to pitch legal. Seems fairly easy doesn't it, she will start her college play this fall. I guess from her last tb game this August pitching legal, she will forget how to do it in...

    How well does travel ball prepare you for college?

    Its cheaper to play for a college;) My dd will find out this fall. For some reason her college coach told me that I don't need to come down and catch her:confused:

    Barnhill-Collegiate Player of the year. #usasoftball

    I look at like this. Barnhill is illegal and does gain an advantage because of it. NCAA, umps and others choose to look at other way, it doesn't make it right. We have people on here that are making excuses for her and saying what is the big deal. I would bet these same people would have a fit...

    catcher in Minnesota/Alabama game

    As parent of a pitcher. I want the catcher to be better than the pitcher. A good catcher can make my dd look better even on her bad days pitching. Pitchers take care of your catcher.

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    First off Bill I hope you are feeling better. I know what you are saying is right Bill, but you worked with Emily for a few years. How does she go from being legal in the current women's game to not. I guess what everyone is saying is Barnhill can get away with it, should I have Emily try and...

    Glove swim

    I agree with what you are saying, so the drill that Hillhouse showed my dd with throwing into your own glove would be a good start.

    Glove swim

    Hillhouse like to use the thrown into your own glove drill. Full circle pitch into her glove. Instant feedback can't catch the ball if the glove isn't there. He also talks about working out in front of a mirror with some rolled up socks, throwing into the mirror, uses the mirror to look at other...

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    You know I was a Gator fan, but since last year and the whole gator batters using their elbow guard to get hit by a pitch in the strike zone and barnhill's illegal pitching. I was so happy to see Oklahoma win. I hope they beat them again. The commentators make me sick, they make it hard to watch...

    High School Endings 2017

    My dd's HS team has 3 more games. They have only gave up 161 runs so far. They have scored 51 runs, but one game they scored 14 runs and still lost 23 to 14. I honestly think my dd has thrown more pitches this HS season then she has thrown in 3 years of TB. They scored 16 runs in one game to a...

    How Important is High School Softball

    IMO, I wouldn't listen to me when it comes to HS ball :cool: I can't hardly watch the train wreck my dd plays on. My dd isn't a big strike out pitcher, more of a ground ball inducer. One game they had 7 errors in the first inning from booting the ball off the glove, to some where over the...

    Pitching Question

    That sounds crazy, I would think the pitcher would be worn out after a couple of innings.
