    Time for a video critique

    Wanted to pop in and get some critique on my 13YO DD. Been at it about a year. Just got the older one off to college (full ride D1 pitching scholarship!...humble bucket dad brag! Haha). Now gotta get the youngest one whipped into shape. Currently working on fixing glove swim, staying more...

    Is this a legal steal?

    Playing against a local college team last Saturday. They run this delayed steal. Ump allowed it. I always thought that if the pitcher was in the circle with the ball and the runner hasn't already made a move towards second that they couldn't then take off for second. If it's legal it's a pretty...

    Help finding lost speed

    End of last season DD lost about 3 mph on her fastball. She was battling a hip strain so we let her rest a couple months. She's feeling better but can't get her speed back up. Hoping to get some insight. Thanks for any help. https://youtu.be/HzDyxRfEGw0 https://youtu.be/biZ1qfZEies

    Softball skills video Part 2

    As promised here is take 2 of my foray into shooting a skills video. I tried to incorporate much of the suggested ideas from the original thread. I know I don't have a shot of her throwing from outfield to home. That's bc I need to borrow a fancy dslr camera to get a good shot of it. Gonna...

    OK guys, give me your honest opinion...

    So it's finally that time to get my little DD out there for the world to see. It was time to make a skills video. Being somewhat of a nerd, I decided I wanted to make it myself and it could be something fun we did together. Well about 200 hours later it's finally finished. LOL. Everyone take a...

    Time for a video analysis

    Hi gang. Really been working with 16 YO DD on her swing. We've made a lot of improvements but still feel we can improve. Thought I'd post a couple vids and get you guys take on things. One thing we have worked like crazy on is not dropping the hands to early but she still does it. Gets the lazy...

    Looking for some swing analysis

    Been working with DD on her hitting thanks to all the great advise I've gotten here on the board. She has never been a good hitter until this year. On her HS team this year she is batting .313 and has hit 7 off the fence on the fly but still no home runs (SIGH!) Anyway, we've made some...

    1 step forward and 2 steps back...Video Review

    Hi gang. Hoping some of my fellow bucket dads can give me some feedback on my 16YO DD. 2 years ago she was topping out around 55mph with good control and change up so we starting working on breaking pitches. We decided to go with a drop curve. She picked it up pretty quickly and soon could throw...

    Video Update

    Posted video of DD a couple months back and got some great feedback. We have been working on forward by coiling as well as some other stuff. Wanted to post an update and get some more critiques. I see improvement but it is a work in progress. This is shot in slow motion at 240fps. Let the...

    Check out our progress (new video)

    So I posted a video a couple weeks ago of my DD swing and got some great feedback. We have been working hard and wanted to post an update. Sorry for the bad lighting. We have been hitting at night when I get home from work so it is a bit dark and grainy but I think you can still see it pretty...

    Feedback on swing

    Hi gang. My 15 YO has been struggling with the bat lately. Finally got around to shooting some slow motion video today. Resolution is low but hoping to get some constructive criticism. It's like she has no pop. It looks out of sync or something but I just can't put my finger on it. Any advise...

    Time for another video critique

    Hi Gang. Just wanted to post the latest video of my 15YO and get some fresh eyes on her pitching. We have been working hard and pitching 3 days a week for quite a while. We really have kinda hit a wall at the 53mph range with her fastball and she has been there for about a year. She has good...

    Time for another video...IR, the finish, and more questions from a confused dad

    Hi guys. Me and my 12YO DD have really been working hard this last year. Here is a video of her pitching. She has worked hard on her mechanics to get rid of the hello elbow we were originally taught to pitch. I think her IR looks pretty good but I'm certainly no expert. My main concern is that...

    Dropped line drive question

    OK. So I know that the infield fly rule doesn't apply to line drives or bunts, but is there another rule which covers line drives? Here is what happened. We had runners on first and second with no outs. The batter hit a line drive directly to the short stop. It hits her glove and she then...

    Help Critique my 11 Y.O.

    Hi guys. Just wanted some other people's opinion on my girls pitching. She started taking lessons when she was 9. Was taught hello elbow. A year later she was stuck at 36 mph and could not get any more speed. That is when I ran across this forum. After much reading on IR, we decided to break her...
