Base running and defensive players getting in the way
A listener ask us for advice when a team was consistently obstructing their base runners. We can't teach the specific rules of obstruction and interference. But we can teach them to know when they have the right of way and when they need to get out of the way.

Players and coaches should not have a predisposition that a batter should always stand in the same spot in the batter's box. We preach "make adjustments" and that should apply to the stance. Good advice for players and coaches in the types of adjustments that can be made.
Suggestion to solve the problem of the shortage of pitchers
Просмотров 28Месяц назад
We discussed in the last Everything Fastpitch podcast that a great number of teams continue advertising that they need pitchers. One of the solutions to this problem is for sanctioning bodies to implement pitching restrictions. This would require teams to develop more pitchers and they could not utilize one pitcher the majority of the time. One of the reasons that pitchers give up on pitching i...

Always believe in your success and stay away from hoping to be successful
Просмотров 183 месяца назад
We have all seen it or been a part of it. A team is beating a team that is better and should beat them or we make a big rally and go ahead in a game and LOSE. It is something that coaches have to work on and create that mindset of believing and we belong here. Don't get nervous and start hoping to win and become defensive. Sometimes you can just feel the tension and know it is not going to end ...

Question 🙋 am I putting the most pressure on my pointer finger when snapping the wrist 👆
😑 P r o m o S M
Great video! Consider what happened in the second inning of Game 4 of the 2023 World Series. The Rangers scored first on a wild pitch. What was the catcher doing? Did not prevent the run from scoring.
Why would your goal be for the ball to hit chest instead of catching it?

Incredible explanation! Thanks so much.. my daughter is starting to learn on her own initially, the Curve Ball.
Great advice.
So what is expected? We supposed to step on their toes and squeeze our way past them in the dugout to get on field? How would this be done if the only entrant to the field is through the dugout? Do you have keys to the centerfield gate where the 4wheeler comes in to drag? Do the girls hop the fence onto the field? This is a great idea in theory. Applying it in principal is impossible unless you’re playing on an open field. Out here 90% of the fields are locked with a wrap around fence. They lick them better than fort knox. I really wish we could do this. Impractical if your only entrance is through the dugout.
🤷 Promo-SM!
Always enjoy listening to you guys chat, thanks. My highschool sophomore daughter and I are second year into coaching a 10u team. We've lost and won our share but that hasn't been the measure of our success. I remember executing things we've worked on more than the wins and losses. Planning a practice after a tournament this fall we couldn't think of anything we needed to focus on from the weekend. I can't remember if we won, but I remember how proud I was when planning that practice!
Any recommendations on building a balance beam?
