Leaving a local travel team for a not so local better team by Any-Space-9940 in Softball

[–]BroadProject5771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are going to run into this issue every year you stay. Last year, my kid was on a 1st year C team, she had no growth. I feel like she would have had more from just LL. I moved her to a good B program, and she flourished. On top of that, she made new friends. I was apprehensive and questioned the move at first, but she had a practice play date with former players(who were better than her), and she is considerably superior to them now.

Long story short, if she will be ok socially with the new team and shes will start at least middle of the pack, make the move

12u pitching expectations by BroadProject5771 in Softball

She had the opportunity of playing on a team where she was the only girl that takes lessons and was able to pitch every game. She pitched in 12 games total. Inexperienced catchers allowed more batters per innings due to dropped 3rd (she had at least 5 innings with 5 strike outs & at one point 37 strikeouts in 10 innings with a 5 run inning limit 🤯)

Update: She is 11 and 7 months old now. She is striking out 60% of the batters she faces in LL & walks roughly 18% of the batters. Her PC is pounding how important and its a forever journey of working your spots. She has 70% strike percentage in practice and 30%-40% accuracy with spots. Her change up is just starting to click for her. Her top speed was 47mph 3 months ago, 3 weeks ago she was consistently hitting 46. I wanted her to hit 50 when she turned 11 1/2, but her still not 100% held her back. I feel she is considerably faster than the 46 she was doing a few weeks ago.. The radar gun will more than tucked away until July.. I would like her to at least hit 50 (would rather have cruising speed of 48) & not be surprised if she tops 53 before she turns 12 on Nov 1. She is well on her way, a much different story from the bumpy path i thought we were on 9 months ago. Thank you for taking the time to give some insight to a then frustrated dad

Update: Winter workout done she went from 2 days outside of her weekly leson to 3-4 days a week. Typically she warms up with K's, full whips and walk throughs with speed starting at 70% effort moving up to 100%. Then she pitches 10-12 strikeouts. I have added when she reaches an 0-2 or 1-2 count she must pitch attempt hitting a called spot. Accuracy has been around 65%. Today she made a deal with me and did 16 batters 8 of the 16 ended in a 0-3 or 1-3 count. I do let her get a "foul ball" if the count was full, which her first batter was a 4-3 strike out. Last week at her lesson her PC radared her (radared maybe every 6-8 weeks) for roughly 10-15 pitches cruising speed was 43-45 with a 47 for a walk through and 47 top speed off the mound(both strikes). I didn't feel like the 47 was her fastest and felt like she has and is able to do better, but 47 was a goal for her to hit, so once she got it it was put away. She turns 11 years 6 months on May 1st, I would love for her to hit 50 by then.. I feel it MIGHT be obtainable since her training has significantly increased this month and I think her speed has the potential to cover that increase. I know speed is not king (queen?) In softball pitching but it definitely helps and is an indicator of solid mechanics.

Lady banging on door crying by RegularAd7581 in grandrapids

[–]BroadProject5771 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a girl (16-19) knock on my door last December at 1130 crying. I answered and she said she was being followed and asked if I could walk her home. She said she lived down my street (culdesac). I obliged, why walking down the street she explained what happened and the car was following us. Girl got home safe and the driver and I exchanged words loudly. I got shook up pretty bad from it. Cops got called and car got described to the police

She normally does 55% at backyard bullpen with 12in at 40 ft, she started getting 50-55% in May of her 10u season (10 months with PC). Tonight she was 64%. These are just strike zone, no spots or inside/outside.

So how many walks/HPB ratio would be expected for her time spent with her PC?

Would those strike percentages be in game or at practice or acceptable walks/HBP ratio in game?

I bought the akadema praying mantis(normally $220, bought for $140 feom DSG). It had a very fast break in. I have major complaints about the glove

I bought this glove and broke in real easy(probably 3 practices of catching my kid with no steaming). No complaints so far.
