    Hands below the shoulders not above, upper cuts are caused by dropping the hands too far while trying to get the bat into the swing plane. If the hands are below the shoulders, there is no need to drop the hands. Pro Speed Baseball has a much better tutorial on how to fix upper cut swings.

    This is brilliant! Thank you!! I've used it all season for my little league team (8-12 yr old), and it's been super helpful with planning ahead and showing up prepared on game day. Makes assigning positions fairly a breeze. I haven't had a single complaint from a parent about their kid not getting enough time at any position or a chance at leading off the batting order. THANK YOU!!

    First off all thanks a lot for all the works that has been put on these excel sheet. I am having a problem with one cell only. I have a team of 12 players and sometimes i will have 3-4 players that can't be at a game and the cell Y21 on every sheet will give me a blank result or a #ref! error which will then cause a blank result for the next game at the LF postion. Any idea on how to fix this ?

    This is an awesome tool for tracking. Looking to use this for my softball team, we play 7 innings. I'm not great with formulas, but trying to insert and "format as line before" to add the 7th innings doesn't work to add to the history of positions played. Is there a simple way to add a 7th inning column?

      Nope, digging into it there’s a whole bunch of formulas everywhere and I’m no where savvy enough to figure it out. If anyone does though, I think A LOT of people would appreciate it. Still, it was very helpful through the season.

    • @str8outanp
      @str8outanp Месяц назад

      @@DarrellGeissI figured it out. Well mostly. It’s a 3 step process that you have to do on each sheet. In the top corner of the sheet it begins with column O. The arrow in the box indicates that there are hidden cells. Select the arrow that will then expand and unhide columns A-N which has the current game tracker info. Now go back to the game lineup section and add a column to the right of column AK. Select to highlight all of the cells for both the top and bottom lineups in AK and then drag right to copy the formatting to column AL. That will add the 7th inning. Do the same steps for Defensive positions column AT. Now go back to hidden current game tracker info columns A-L. Starting with the cell C6 (which should be the first of the top row of zeroes) double click to expand the formula. You’ll see there’s a bunch of “if” statements. Copy the last if statement. In this cell it is +IF($AK6=Q$4,1,0). Paste that copy directly after it and change the K in $AK6 to L. Now it should read +IF($AL6=Q$4,1,0). Once you have completed that then you can click to drag down the conditional formatting to the rest of the cells in that column. Just repeat the process for the rest of the cells D6-L6 noting that the only reference value you’re changing is that K to now an L. You have to do this on every sheet. I wouldn’t recommend copy and pasting from one sheet to another as I don’t know what other hidden treats and formulas there that may be affected. This seems to work for me.

    Our league allows 4 outfielders but our team varies between 9 and 10 players. To avoid the lineup card having red I was thinking of adding a N/A player and giving them LCF each inning. Also we never play more than 4 innings, what would be the best way to clear those out on the lineup card? Just delete them? Thank you very much for this.

      Great question! I’ve found copying and pasting positions and cells creates bugs in the spreadsheet. It’s always best to manually type in names and positions into the lineups. It seems like more work, but it will save you from having to start over when copying/pasting breaks the formulas.

    Thank you! Good helpful tips! An important aspect this touches on, that applies to so many sports, is that your whole body can be involved to help with the form & efficiency of a particular action. The specifics of that whole body involvement, and of what works, I've found comes from drawing from the examples of others, combined with trying out variations of those examples, during lots of frequent practice. When you hit upon the specifics of that form which works best for your type of body, and get it all well ingrained & matured through lots of frequent practice, it's so rewarding!

    If you show the thrower that throwing is a pulling activity the short-arm pushing type action will be less likely to occur. Throwing is the physics of pulling the ball from back to front with the release of the ball out in front. I know something about the physics of throwing.

      Great question! It really has to do with the rotation of your upper body and wrist when throwing the ball. These are "micro mechanics" but they will make sense and become apparent when you try to throw in slow motion. You will be able to feel the natural rotation happening with your upper body, shoulders and wrist.
