    Strike Zone? What did he say?

    I must preface this rant by saying I am NOT one of those parents. Yes my 14U DD pitches, however I understand the rule of "The Four Strike Zones". DD has one of the highest ERA's in the area as a freshman pitcher but I believe she has the drive and talent to be a pretty decent pitcher. I also...

    Easton Bat

    14U DD's Easton Stealth Speed 33/23 is starting to crack, so obviously someone smelled the money in my wallet ;) Easton no longer makes this model, so I was wondering what their 2013/14 equivalent model would be? For living in FL, it is AMAZING how little space is given to softball equipment in...

    Forgive me for I have sinned...

    It has been 500 posts since my last visit to DiscussFastpitch. Work has required me to actually focus on working and has left little to no time for extra curricular softball activities ;). There HAS to be another way to make money and still give me ample softball time! So, HS season is well...

    Michele Smith Camp

    So far I have heard two different stories about the Michele Smith Camps: Some really enjoy the camp and others say there were too many people, so not enough instruction. I think the price if fine, as long as she learns and will be taught.

    Groin Injury

    13yo DD pulled her groin running out of the box after a hit. She has iced, ibuprofen-ed and rested for almost two weeks now. Sunday she walked around at practice picking up balls in OF, chomping at the bit wanting back on the mound. She spent some time on bucket during batting practice. At the...

    98 DD's First!

    Gotta brag this morning. After 1 1/2 years of hard work, sweat, and determination missing out on other social outings to keep practicing, (Not to mention my beat up shins), DD pitched her first championship 14U game and came out on top! She pitched the first elimination game and the third game...

    Hard Throws

    Just went to my first college softball combine. I noticed that they were "gunning" throws from second to third and ss to first. I always knew that it was important to have a good strong throw. Now my question is, other than conditioning and strength training, are there drills to help the girls...

    Guest Playing-How much is too Much?

    My DD's team is in transition in southern FL. We have been practicing, but have not yet started any tournaments yet. With the coaches blessing and permission, we have been guest playing getting my dd mound time to keep her skills up. Is there a limit to the number of teams she is on? Right...

    Best Practice Pitching Softball

    13 YO DD and I need new bucket of pitching practice softballs. I need a little schooling as there are too many choices and too little grey matter to make heads or tails. Thanks

    Pitching Twist

    Been watching a LOT of college softball this last week on TV and noticed three different pitchers twisting their trunk towards their ball hand prior to wind up. Saw this last week and thought it was a unique case, then over the weekend five different pitchers. What is the purpose to this motion?

    Help with Pitching Coach

    My dd is going on 13 and has been pitching for a little over a year. She is tall and has pretty good speed, I think, for just being into this really for a year, (She did pitch in 10U for about 8 months, but with speed her accuracy was an issue with her TB coach). Anyway she throws around the...

    Pitchers Cleats

    Looking for some input from those not selling the cleats. My pitching dd has again worn out another set of cleats, this time in under a month. I am going to take them back, however I am wondering if anyone makes a decent product that wont break my already softball weary wallet. The biggest...

    What are Umps Seeing?

    First of all, I am as the name implies, a man who spends countless hours on the bucket catching my 12yo TB Pitcher daughter. I have no idea how fast she pitches, only that she pops my glove and is getting to the point of starting to sting my hand. I have taken to using a pitch counter on games...

    Playing Up

    My DD has been pitching for the last year. She has the rest of this year to play 12U, unfortunately, there are not that many 98's in our area looking for pitchers. This last weekend she was asked to guest play for a 97 team, which moved the mound back three feet to 43'. I thought she did very...
