    Strike zone question

    When a pitch is inside and the batter jumps back because she is afraid to be hit but the ball is close to the strike zone. Is there a reason the umpire always calls it a strike?

    Thank You!!!

    All on this Forum: I would like to take this time to say thank you. This spring I was asked to coach a 10U All Star team from our league. The league currently supplies girls to 5 travel teams in the area which draws the talent pool down. We had three girls who could pitch but none very well...

    Mom finds sex offender at practice.

    My policy as a coach is I'm never alone with the girls. The other day one of the parents was late picking her daughter up from practice. I made my assistant stay and we both waited until her mom showed up.

    reverse posture?

    Rick and Ken, Thanks I'm very happy to hear she is near where she needs to be. We will work on this, and as I might have stated we are transitioning to IR. The transition feels like we are taking a walk in the dark. This forum has been our biggest source of info. Joe

    Swinging at high balls, I need help

    When I do front toss with them and they hack at a high ball, I ask why they are swinging at such an obvious ball? The answer to the question is usually "I don't know". I then redefine what a ball and strike would look like in the zone. I walk the ball to them as a high and low ball, and then...
