    2019 USSSA Easton Ghost

    Recently bought one for DD from Core... it was a good price, and as most of you know I'm a bit of a bat addict. The night we removed the wrapper and started hitting tee work, it felt as though it needed some break in time... She hit approx 2 buckets of balls, then I hit a couple buckets. At...

    Queen of the hill drive trainer

    I'll update as I continue to test additional students. I introduced it to 3 girls today. My initial thoughts about it are as follows... 1. Very well built (weighs about 25lbs) 2. Easy to use 3. Versatile (plates can be exchanged for baseball and hitting) After today each of my 3 girls all...

    Exit speeds

    I'm curious to hear some thoughts and opinions on exit speeds... How much emphasis are you putting on this? I've measured a few of my players recently off a tee with my pocket radar. I've got an 04 girl that is exceptionally small in stature. She's 4'10 and 85 lbs... I Know, its not a typo. She...

    Incentive stickers for helmets

    I've implemented an incentive program to earn small nickle sized stickers for the girls helmets for different accomplishments achieved. For those of you currently doing this, what are your criteria to earn a new sticker?

    Home town Blue

    I've been around plenty long enough to have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to umpires. Last night took the whole bakery (not just the cake) It was painfully obvious. He squeezed our zone smaller than Ive ever seen. If my girls didn't throw it in a 4" window right down the...

    Gamemanship or Cheating?

    What are your collective thoughts on a few issues... Some people feel as if this is "Busch League" Things like... 1. Picking opposing pitch calling and relaying that info in an inconspicuous way... 2. Having a base runner on 2nd and she relays where the catcher is setting up to the batter (in or...

    Shoulda kept his mouth shut

    Not really a brag post but kinda funny nuntheless... DD joined a new team and is the unproven new girl... At practice the asst coach notices that DD is not squishing the bug while taking warm up swings before entering the cage. He says to her "you'll never reach your power potential if your back...

    KY freshman pitcher Grace Baalman

    This is somewhat in line with Bills post about Alabama pitch calling. Did anyone else notice in Saturdays gave vs. LSU the pitch calling was a pure sequence? It was completely predictable... New batter 0-0 count 1st pitch... High inside FB 2nd pitch... High outside rise 3rd pitch... low inside...

    Switch hitter

    What are your thoughts on this? A student is struggling at the plate due to poor mechanics that we cant seem to break. So, with her being the amazing, super strong and fast athlete that she is, we moved her to the left side a few months ago. No bad habits to break, and is showing massive...

    Letting it get deep

    Let it get deep!!! I hear this a lot from hitting coaches. For the life of me I don't understand! I've coached a ton of kids a lot of different skill sets, but I'm primarily known as a PC. I understand the balls movement and how to achieve that "late break" we hear so much about. My point is I...

    Oklahoma is #1 in the polls....again

    Newest preseason polls are out. Oklahoma tops the list again. Florida in a close 2nd, and Oregon at 3 I was surprised to see how low Minnesota was at 16... they only lost 5 games all of last season, yet LSU who lost 22 is ranked at 8.... that math doesn't add up to me. I know there's that whole...

    Timiflu side effects on teens

    So a student of mine is going to a funeral today for her best friend. He hanged himself last weekend. This was a bubbly, outgoing, star athlete who suddenly commits suicide. There is a lot of speculation regarding the possible psychological side effects of this flu medicine that he'd been taking...
