    How far away is your softball playing DD's college?

    DD is a 5-10 hour flight away, depending on if there is a layover or if it's non-stop. We'll make the flight to NYC this year for senior day weekend. We've been able to drive to watch her play live in Fresno (7 hours) and Phoenix (5 hours), but this year's west coast tourney is in Hawaii...

    Catcher’s Thumb Consistently Hurting

    A stiffer mitt isn't necessarily going to help, sizing may play a part. My daughter is a senior in college, and she recently developed a thumb issue after switching to exclusively using a team issue 34" Wilson A2000, which is a super stiff mitt. When shopping mitts in high school, she felt the...

    A10 Champs!

    DD helped bring the title back to the Bronx! Some timely clutch hitting along the way helped her get voted to the all-tournament team - I couldn't be more proud! Next stop, Stillwater regional!

    Naming a Pet (with a catcher theme)

    We had a kitten that was born with two extra toes on each front paw. We named him Mitt, because those paws looked like catchers mitts..

    Catcher gear

    DD just got issued Evoshield as team gear. She loves it thus far, but man, it's expensive!

    Catcher Gear Color

    By white gear, you mean infield orange, correct? :)

    Questions about "playing up"

    If your daughter can't throw or catch, moving up in age is the last thing you want to do. Emergency dental bills are expensive.

    LS LXT vs Xeno? What’s the difference?

    DD swung a Xeno since 10U. This fall, her junior year in college, she finally tried an LXT. She switched.

    Scholarship question

    My daughter goes to school in NYC and loves it. She couldn't wait to get out of California. Quite frankly, OP's proposal smacks of radical socialism.

    Is there any place in the game for beaning a batter?

    After 2-3 batters are hit, the coach should pull the pitcher. Hit a half dozen, two runs have crossed.

    Glove for 3B/2B, under $100

    This is a previous year's model, marked down from $220 to $80: Louisville LXT Series Infield Glove 11.75" WTLLXRF171175 (closeoutbats.com) DD uses the team issued LXT catcher's mitt in college and says it's pretty good, comparable to the All Star mitts she used from 8th-12th grades. She could...

    What is the yearly attrition rate?

    DD was part of an incoming class of five freshmen and a juco transfer in 2019. Her roommate, one of the freshmen, left school within a month. A second freshman left school after winter break, but joined a different program closer to home this fall. The upperclassmen have all been stable, with...

    Leave Your Helmet ON!!

    Your opponents were pulling that bush crap at a showcase? In my experience, college coaches want to see kids hit, not travel coaches who think they're clever. I'm glad to see Maddie playing and that she's ok. Take solace that the other team's parents' mouthy behavior in the stands probably...

    If you had to do it all over again....

    I would trust my gut instead of listening to coaches feeding me lines of bs.
