    Pre Game Warmup for Batters

    I have a new to 12U. She is 11 and she is the lead off hitter for her team. The issue we are having is getting her ready to bat before a game. Pre Covid she was 10U and we could go to the batting cages an hour before the game to get her going. Now the cages are full an hour before with a...

    Opinion on the EH position

    So this year there are several leagues that have approved the EH(extra hitter) batter. What are some of your coaches opinion on it? We have several teams use it against us we didn't like it it turns the game into a 10 on 9 style in my opinion. Granted this past weekend we use it because if it...

    Getting out of the batters box quickly

    Work with my twins on speed out of the batters box. Does anyone have any slow mo videos of the "perfect bat drop" as the hitter releases the bat and strides to first? Do you prefer a quick shuffle step or more of a strong pushoff and longer stride? Thanks for any input! Moe

    hitting training aid

    Has anyone had any experience with a hitting aid called the "pro hammer bat"? I saw a you tube video on it and I think I will buy one but I was hoping to get some real feedback first. Thanks, James

    Pitching machine

    I ordered a axiom 2 pitching machine off Ebay and it said it was softball adaptable. Well it only uses 9" balls. The adaptation is to lower the legs for a softball angle. My question is that the machine should still work for our girls timing even though it is for baseball? Any opinions would be...

    Batting Issues?

    Hey guys, this is my first post and it has me somewhat stumped. I am coaching a 12-18 team and I am having some serious batting issues. The girls have no problem batting in practice, in fact they are really good in practice, but when it comes to game time they act as if they have never batted...

    11 year old daughter swings late, cannot determine ball or strike in time

    I have a 11 year old daughter who is in her second year of playing travel fastpitch softball. She is not hitting at all. She was always a really good hitter in coaches pitch. She didn't really hit very well last year in Fastpitch. What she is constantly telling me is by the time she...
