    Clearwater invitational pitching speeds

    The Oregon freshman is the product of an open tryout, not a recruit. They also have a senior soccer player on the roster. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    ACL surgery options

    DD (17) tore her ACL doing after landing funny doing conditioning drills two weeks ago. She has ACL surgery in two weeks and the surgeon asked us which type of graft to perform, patellar or hamstring tendon. He does both and was happy to do either if we have a preference. We have...

    What glove do you bucket dads use to catch?

    I've had a Louisville Slugger Big Daddy the past 5 years or so. It was and is fine, but now that DD is 16 I could use an upgrade. I'm not sure if they sell them anymore though.

    Anyone notice her front foot turns to 45 degrees, then straightens close to 90 degrees as her foot lands?

    Thoughts?

    Yes, if you'd gone you might not have a team anymore! I know of a couple of other teams that thought they were in that tournament and didn't get in.

    Thoughts?

    I'm pretty sure I saw her this weekend. Dressed in Black with a NSR logo polo. At first I was thinking college coach until I saw the logo. I heard she was recruiting players for her team.

    Used to be the drop ball, but the back door curve breaking in at your body is a whole new kind of scary. Sent from my SM-G360T using Tapatalk

    Sock Drill For Limited Space

    DD's physical therapist uses something like this to observe rehabbing baseball players throw in the office. They had her throw underhand and it worked well for that as well. They used a heavy nylon sack instead of a sock.

    What's the Worst Thing An Opposing Team Did?

    DD has had girls punch her hand during high fives after the game in 12u and 14u. Anyone else seen that one?

    Stupid Things Coaches Say...

    DD has had games where she said she received a good scouting report on every hitter from the 3B coach.

    Sunburn!

    Got some extra strength lidocaine lotion, (alocane) that seemed to help. She was throwing fine and then tweaked her knee in the third inning of first game, when it rains it pours. Other pitcher was already out with a knee injury.

    Sunburn!

    DD ran around this week in a tank top and now has a bad burn on the outside top of her shoulder. Hurts to raise her arm, she tried to pitch today and was basically only able to sling shot it. I'm thinking game time adrenalin will help her tomorrow, or it could get ugly. Supposed to be cool...

    Small Breakthroughs

    It's great she is taking the long view, it's easy to get frustrated when changing things up. DD is way better at that I am... 80s by Wednesday!
