    Men Pitchers

    I bought the Hilhouse DVD. It was pretty good. Too bad I can't find it anymore, my kids may have misplaced it somewhere in the house.

    Hey Umps! Answer me this...

    My son was a dominant pitcher in his age group. In tournaments, the umps are usully fair, same strike zone for both teams. But in house league where the umpires are older kids in the organization, I see it all the time. Some umps even told me later they hold my son to smaller strike zone...

    Catcher signal improper?

    I would never have my kid's team, purposely hit a batter. Not only it could hurt the kid, it can get ugly and them coming back to try to hurt our kids. So for me as a coach it's a no no. OTOH, I recently talked to the coach of another team. They have a U14 boy, 6' tall, pitches high 50s and...

    Head-on Crash

    I found out my son was injured in high school baseball practice, because another parent was there and saw it. My son didn't tell me. He seems to be afraid I'll tell him to rest it and don't play. The school didn't tell me anything. After 2 days of rest, my son says his arm/shoulder is all...

    Rule question: Catcher throws bunted ball to 1st, hits the batter/runner

    When a batter/runner bunts the ball, s/he is supposed to run on or just right of the line down first base, then touch the orange part of the safe bag. The catcher picks up the ball and throws to first base, and the ball hits/touches the batter/runner. If the runner was running inside the line...

    Rule question: Walking a batter, what can catcher do?

    If wanting to walk a batter, does the catcher have to stay in normal catcher's position until pitcher releases the ball? Or can the catcher stand up like MLB? Thanks.
