Especially with one umpire seeing movement,The rolling start os pretty dependent on blue calling it properly, when to dds team has tried that it was not imho called properly quite often.
True!Especially with one umpire seeing movement,
not necessarily the foot off the bag.
Brings up a good point~
Can one umpire in a game from behind the plate really see a runner comming off first base accurately?!
*Active Catchers/Defense Get Outs !
Last weekend, 18u games played,True!
Not really! What’s he looking at as pitch is being thrown again?
Heck yeah!
Foot along outside of bag helps disguise when runner actually leaves bag IMHO. Primarily talking two man ump crew here.
Had a plate ump (2 man crew) call a runner out for leaving early at 1st last summer. 18a decently high level of play. Thought head coach of offensive team was going to have a stroke.
Hmmm? What would the fans do?Umpires? We don’t need no stinking umpires, lol!
My daughter is fast but not blazing fast. The thing is she is way faster running the bases than other girls because of technique, decisiveness and aggressiveness. She rarely makes a base running error and her game speed looks faster than girls that would blow her away in a straight away sprint. This sounds like who your daughter is.
My daughter played with a girl that had "DI speed" and she has committed to a DI school. We'll see but I think that her collegiate career may end up being a pinch runner because the "D1 speed" doesn't align with the rest of her game set.
Here is what I have on National average for measurables.
