You really are out there coach fp. You clearly only pay attention to yourself.
It was a useful enough drill to help get her college paid for whether it works for you or not. I for one appreciate the balls it takes to post a video on here, thanks sluggers, and please thank your daughter also!
Thanks Rick!
I have waited a long time for perfect circle to say something worth while.....:D
simple but good advice......like shooting a bow and arrow.
Thanks PC!
A peel drop in arguably the fastest pitch a pitcher can throw, my guess is it has the most complete IR.
My other guess is the only pitch thrown with no IR is maybe a certain style of change up.
No IR = slow.
I was helping out with the highschoolers in the cage the other night and was talking with another dad who has been around baseball and softball 3 times as long as me. His daughter is turning into a freak hitter, we were discussing another kids swing and he says she needs to start turning on the...
Small world, as an 8th grader she pitched for her high school team. WIAA allows 8th graders to play up if the highschool cannot field a team from grades 9-12. The first time I saw her pitch was the state tournament for 3rd and 4th against my daughters school. She led them to a win as an 8th...
I tend to agree with starsnuffer on the footwork thing but I have nothing for you on that. From the knees up she seems to have a lot of good things going on...Natural IR, brush interference (right mr. Pauly?) Try to promote a little bend in her arm. IMPO stop the hellow elbow thing while she is...
I agree that 10 second snippit is a terrible demonstration. forward and up like going up a ramp is not what this guy is demonstrating at all. Everything can be perverted.
There is no way you cannot go forward slightly. even up and forward is still forward.
You mean moving your elbow in a line 2 feet toward the pitcher? I agree.
Or the fact that he's not even holding onto the bat:confused: I mean....hows that going to work? he must be stupid.
I wish I new that by trying to treat every player the same, that the better players will eventually leave for a more competative atmosphere.
And nice coaches can win provided they are the meanest of the nice coaches in the tournament.
Is pujols playing slowpitch in that gif?
As Howard Carrier would say....make a good first move....the lead elbow should start forward then up, like going up a ramp.
I believe basically what ffs is saying....the height of the elbow depends on the pitch location... but the ramp analogy has...
When a fielder, a runner and the ball all meet at the same time and a collision is unavoidable it is commonly called a "wreck".
Has any blue on here ever made that call? or is it always int. or obs?
Dont confuse cut with relay, they are different. And through the cut is correct imo. Mostly for plays at home, catcher will give commands to the cutter. If a ball is hit past the outfielder the middles are a relay, if hit in front they settle in the middle of the infield in the direction of the...
Personally, as a 3rd base coach I usually know what the pitch is. Its not hard to pick, but I have never once tipped our batters bacause I'm not a dick.
It happend to us just yesterday. We were ahead at the time and still won the game. I noticed in the 4th a fan watching the pitch signs and...
I agree with sluggers. I dont yell at kids when I am angry, but I dont reward them when they dont deserve it. You have a problem with that kid, her rocket arm isnt worth it. IMO if you really want to help her then dissapoint her with plenty of bench time, she and her mom and dad will not like...
I havnt read any responses. I treat the kids I coach as humans, I respect them, if they dont respect me back they dont get to play on my team. I would never manhandle an adult that works for me.
When I am a spectator I watch how coaches treat my daughters. I am not a tough guy by no means, but...
