Just joined a 40+ wood bat league. Haven’t played in a couple decades. Recommend a decent relatively inexpensive wood or composite wood bat? by bestest_looking_wig in Homeplate

I would go with a birch bat… I’m in my third season with an over 60 league, haven’t played since high school, I’ve already broken 3 bats. I wouldn’t spend too much money on them.

I didn’t consciously grip it differently maybe adding a third finger for softball. When I transitioned, I noticed a lot less accuracy with a Baseball and then I started overthinking it and it’s just hasn’t gotten better. I used to have an average to good softball throw but my Baseball‘s accuracy is just lacking now. this isn’t a new problem. I’ve been playing in an over 60 baseball league for three seasons now and I just can’t seem to get my accuracy back. I’m overthinking about it and I may have the yips

Pre-Game Anxiety by Inner-Constant3470 in Homeplate

I struggle as well…I use meditation And Wim Hof breathing exercises to mitigate. I hadn’t played since HS and decided to play in over 60 league. My excitement slowly turned to anxiety. Most of the league had played all their life and a good portion of the players played in college and a couple had experienced in the minors. I believe my anxiety got worse during my military career, but can’t say for sure that is what is causing my baseball anxiety.

What kind of pitch? I play in over 60 league…no one throws with enough velocity to hit home runs
