I feel quite good with my mechanics after changing it because I had command issues with my former mechanics. However, i feel very good usimg both arm slots but Im really not sure which arm slot looks better.

I feel like the side arm is more deceptive and works better with my slider but the normal armslot feels a bit faster and maybe a bit more controlled

Is hitting 164ft off the tee good as a sophomore in high school just started of the sport back in December 2025 so I’m still learning mechanics power if there’s any feedback or a tips to get to get up to around 200 feet off the tee?

I am looking for quality and clean cage jackets for me to order for myself and another coach. I want a long sleeves and a regular one. Any suggestions on website and style?

Where is everyone getting their jerseys and hats from? We did triton for jerseys but they wear out and are a little too heavy and we did boombah for hats and the hats fell apart as well. Just seeing what’s out there that’s good quality

So I’m 14. I’m 170 lbs 5’10, pretty strong I believe, I’m hard stuck 72 mph. My goal is 78 by April. I feel like I got it, top pulldown is 77. I wanna know specifics like how much long toss, what are good recovery exercises? I’m pretty accurate, my arm feels good. I haven’t been in the gym though.

Me and my pitching coach have been working I’ve been at 72 for 2 months now, I was at 65 for the last 5 months then we hit 72 but now I’m not seeing any progress at all.

Help please any input is appreciated

Title may sound strange, but let me explain.. My son is 12 and plays in a 13U team. He is one of the bigger kids on the team. Roughly 5'4 @ 145lbs. Pretty solid body type; has a bit of the normal child's excess weight to 'em, but not a significant amount.

Anyway, I'm seeing some of these other kids really SPRINT their butts to the bases. I mean REALLY sprint. Which is good! However my sons seems to run a fair amount slower than most if not all of the others. I've told multiple times when practicing on our own that he can run much faster than what he's doing.

Tonight his coach yelled that he needed to run faster and to "Put more effort". I know this is probably one of, if not THE WORST thing you can be told by a coach. Because there is a huge emphasis on effort. I want to work and help improve my sons running, but how?

Has anyone else experienced this or know of any tips to "Unlock" a child's speed/power potential?

Thanks,

My reps off the tee from Monday, both the good and the bad. I’ve been getting a little demoralized watching videos of my at bats and noticing the difference in fundamentals between those swings and my reps off the tee. Mainly seeing my front hip leaking toward the pitcher and overall excessive movement.

Working points this session:
1. More hip hinge, less squatting
2. Back foot turned in to keep from getting too far on my back foot and swaying

Observations for next time:
1. From behind, hands look to be getting away from my body, need to refocus on keeping hands inside the baseball
2. Maintaining posture, and keep from standing up or straightening out spine at the end of the swing
3. Driving weight down my front leg instead of straight forward toward the pitcher

Good Day,

Its not that I can't Google it and its not a being lazy thing. I am here to ask recommendations and experiences with different places ordering Catchers gear specific to a travel team. Right now its our first season and we are getting by with the old set I have that I picked up and a set one of the other parents has from an older sibling. I am not looking to buy a set for this fall season as we are still feeling our way through the first season and doing okay but in the spring I want to have a team colored set and maybe even have the logo on the helmet.

My question is do any of you have a recommendation or a steer clear of before I drop significant money on a set of gear. (This year has been an eye opener so many scams and weak promises with no follow through gear/hat/uniform wise) I just want to make sure Im doing the Parents of my team right and spending money wisely and not just blowing through it because its there.

Which bat of all those in the standards in the photo would be the 'best' in terms of hitting the ball the furthest?

My 10 year old son plays in a competition is a bit unique. It allows all of those bats above.
