1. 10U sliding skills aren't always on point. I'm guessing it was probably some of both.
2. The backup was Maddie's P, and she knew exactly what was going on. She was - and still is - a fantastic ballplayer.
it’s not my ”favorite“ of her catching, but, she hasn’t caught since 12u (still using the same gear currentlay for HS lol), and the fact that she is back playing after TOS surgery in mid October, this is one of my faves ever. It was her first game back behind the plate since 12U and also her first game back since July of 20. So yeah, its my current fave.
The photo by bmakj reminded me of this one of my older DD when she was back in 10u. Juuuuuuuuust a little high. Not sure what the heck the ump is doing....literally no reaction.
