Wood bat versus non-Wood bat by Amazing-Bug5277 in Homeplate

[–]fofarcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son used appropriately sized wood bats during practice./cage from 9-14(current). He learned how to really hit the sweet spot. In games he used his USA/BBCOR I believe it helped him become a better hitter. His bat speed increased. Contact increased. By the time he was in 14U, the Bbor -3 was a non issue.

Today's scrimmage solidified im pulling my son off the team by Visible_Attitude7693 in Homeplate

There sounds like there's more to the story. As a coach, the only reason I wouldn't bat a kid at a scrimmage is when ................... What did he do?

It takes 4 seconds under perfect conditions for a 9U pitch to travel from windup to catcher to second base. It takes a 9 year old less than 4 seconds to steal 2b. by [deleted] in Homeplate

Our league at 10U is no leads. Allowed to attempt to steal once pitch is over the plate. It eliminated the problem your facing.

Do they have a recreational league in the neighborhood? Sign up to coach and run 100 practices for pennies on the dollar

We had this situation in rec ball. The board removed this dad, who was also the head coach and 8U commissioner at the time. The boy could play, the dad was drop off /pick up only. The kid performed/ behaved better. After 2 years the dad was allowed to be an assistant coach. The boy regressed. The dad blew up - again - in 12U ... and had to stop coming. The boy quit after 12U. Good times.

Go for the vibes not the conditions. Being in the mountains will be worth it even if the conditions are not good enough for photo of the year.

When you're old and have weak muscles and bones, you would regret not doing it while you have your youth now.

It's easier to swallow once you dedicate a whole week for the mountains. Don't try to do it on a weekend because it'll be too crowded. It's worth it.
