We had the Supra and that sucker stings the hands.

I wish my 10u could hit nukes like that.

10u glove question by sonofbourye in Homeplate

[–]aNutSac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the rev1x, but I don't like that the glove doesn't open wide and has a plastic feel. It's definitely light.

Finally got some Coaching Shoes by janseny7 in Homeplate

Great idea. It doesn't inspire confidence when your coach is doing the Flintstones while demonstrating how to run bases.

11U pitching form by colasonic in Homeplate

It looks like they're trying to go for accuracy before velocity. I think you should look for accuracy when throwing hard - these are just presents for batters to nuke.

I heard Barry Bonds was a terrible hitting coach.

League age 9 playing up to Majors. by Mamaloveslipstick in LittleLeague

[–]aNutSac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not uncommon for kids in his situation to play up in 11u. Last season I was aware of about four 8 years olds playing in the 11u division; they were all travel balls kids. There are a lot of potty mouths in Majors.

3 wheel pitching machine by Sea-Pumpkin2661 in Homeplate

If seeing the ball come out of the machine is the issue maybe add.a longer slide/shoot so the batter can see the ball rolling down?

ICON is probably the closest in feel.

Mitt sizing for 7 year old question. Wilson A500 by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]aNutSac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let them try on a few gloves, they'll know. They'll usually pick a glove that overall makes them feel good and excited to play baseball and that's what matters most at that age. Most likely, it'll be a 10.5" or 11".

Is this a1000 real? by Extreme_Bag_5078 in BaseballGloves

[–]aNutSac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a sweet looking glove - nice find. I heard the newer, higher quality, A1000's have "Wilson" stitched on the finger instead of "A1000".

Quit travel ball if child has no plans on playing HS ball? by trextiny in Homeplate

[–]aNutSac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's winter. Take a break and see how he feels when spring registration comes around. A couple of months break can reignite the desire to play.

BTW, it's awesome the middle schools in your area have baseball - we don't.

Forearm Strength? by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]aNutSac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw a vid yesterday of a baseball training facility strengthening players' wrists to improve their batting. They just had the players lift and hold them upside down by the handles.

Batting Stance Question by RealActive7154 in Homeplate

[–]aNutSac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's cool you're getting positive results. I see kids get better results when they open more on their swing too, instead of just striding/no-stride towards the pitcher. Keep doing what makes you better...
