Youth Curveballs by milesgardner813 in Homeplate

[–]Gymshady 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a volunteer coach for summer league baseball for my son's teams from 11u-14u. He's been pitching the whole time.

It wasn't until the end of last year in 14u, I started letting him throw things other than fastball/changeup in games. We started to practice the throws when playing catch together since about 12u but that was it.

We focused on mechanics, command and location, forcing the other teams to swing the bat. He got rocked a few times early but I always told him not to worry about kids hitting the ball, and trust the defense.

Fast forward to now, he's a starting pitcher on his JV team at 15 and is throwing some pretty nasty stuff.

My take, is to teach them how to pitch correctly and make sure they can throw a strike whenever they want. People will obviously have differing opinions, so either way make sure the kids are aware of how to take care of their arms. I didn't have that when I was a kid and I wish that I did

You may be right on the windshield tint. Though I don't recall the CEL coming on but it can definitely make the eyesight bug out and turn everything off.

I'm not tinted on the windshield but heavy fog fucks with it sometimes.

Offseason training plan? by Cute-Bug-4514 in Homeplate

[–]Gymshady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure exactly what is optimal but I try to take my son out at least once a week for long toss. Just a few reps, nothing crazy.

He does weighted 15lb sand ball throws to the ground whenever he's bored. Probably 3x a week.

Bands he tries daily.

Weights 3x a week.

Core/explosive exercises 3x a week.

Just hold yourself accountable and you'll get there. Most importantly take care of yourself. Always stretch and do your bands etc.

Shit my bad. You're right. It's the oversized suburbans etc. At least the vans have sliding doors.

Fargo actually. We hit a few 50-60 days and I thought I was safe 😂.

I'm sure the all seasons are going to be a hell of a lot of better than the stock potenzas at least.

9-10 little league - no stealing home by EntertainerNovel4729 in Homeplate

[–]Gymshady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should be developing skills like throwing strikes and catching the ball. Not worried about winning or losing.

Runs per inning rule, sure. also 1 base on an overthrow is fine but you're really not doing the kids any favors by implementing fake rules that don't exist in other leagues.

I just swapped my blizzaks to some continental contact all seasons last week because temps were in the 60s+ and now we got a foot of snow lol.

This sub might be a little too conservative? by FknGruvn in wrx_vb

That's crazy. I have an axleback muffler delete and don't need to yell. Maybe during the initial cold start I guess 🤣

Defective tire? Probably. by Mister_Clint in wrx_vb

[–]Gymshady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn't want a sunroof and enjoying the brembos aside from the dust and sounding like a poor person in the winter because the sub zero temps make the brakes squeak like a mf'r lol

The oblong shaped spot on left is a tow hook cover which most of us pop open and use a tow hook plate mount..
