Sport’s Parent and Baseball Coaching tip of the day
Grilling kids in the car after games about their play is not a good thing. However, after a “cooling off” period, things you can bring up can include:
- Team play. Questions like, “How did the team feel after the game?” or “What does the team need to do to improve?” are OK. They help kids realize sports are more than personal accomplishment…
The way you move down the mound forecasts command
Posted by L.A. "Skip" Fast on October 24, 2018 at 1:23pm 4 Comments 0 Likes
When you actively stride, push off the rubber, lead with your front hip or let gravity take you straight down the mound, you’ll forever struggle to put together back-to-back good outings???
There’s no excuse for spotty command, only reasons!

Hitting approach
Posted by Spencer Trayner on September 23, 2018 at 11:52am 1 Comment 0 Likes
“What should I be thinking when I walk up to the plate?”
A lot of hitters are being told from a young age to look to hit the fastball and adjust to anything off-speed. This is a great approach…if you are trying to do a job such as move a runner over into scoring position. The reality of it is that this approach is unsustainable. When pitchers start throwing harder and the MPH differential between their fastball and their off-speed becomes greater, then this approach simply…

A lifelong dream washed away
The major league shot he chased his entire life finally arrived. Then it drowned.
In the middle of it all, the entire, emotional ordeal that would come to define his career, in the midst of the literal storm that was drenching the Eastern Seaboard on the afternoon of Sept. 5, 2006, and the perfect, figurative one that was conspiring at that moment to make him the…

Chris Sloan posted a blog postMaking Select Baseball Team & Event Searches Easier
Over the past few years, I found that more and more teams were placing their events on Facebook groups and it seemed to me to be pointless. Most of the teams were not the age group I was looking for, were too far away to paly for or simply just not a good fit. As a result, I've worked over the past 3 years building SelectBaseballTeams.com and have worked hard to make it an all-encompassing source of teams, players,…See More

Bat model dimensions
hi all, I am a new bat manufacturer (small operation ran out of my garage) and am look for dimensions on different bat models. I have searched everywhere on the internet and was hoping somewhere would be able to help. I do all my turning by hand, so dimension breakdown would be more benfical then actual templates, but templates would work as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.thank youJoe3Ten BatsSee More

Negativity Inspires Noone
Baseball coaching tips of the dayIt is contradictory for coaches to preach team, teamwork, and team unity and then do the opposite with their behavior. Unfortunately, many coaches fall into this trap and they may even lose the team’s respect.When you become overtly negative towards a player, or players, the team concept is in jeopardy. Coaches should realize some players may drive them crazy but accept that as a…See More
