Pitching Speeds
How are pitching speeds determined? Is it the speed of the ball when it crosses the plate? Is it the speed of the ball at some interim location between the mound and the plate? Is it the maximum speed the pitch reaches? Not that it really matters, I'm...

Pitching control
I'm a 14yo and sometimes on the mound I tend to lose focus and start throwing balls. I notice that when I try to throw just to get a strike, I drift it high and inside on the batter. Then I try to correct myself and throw low and outside and there it...

Catcher Faking Throw
Two interesting plays this week highlighted the need to be sure our catchers know the correct way to fake a throw to 2nd with men on 1st & 3rd. Game #1: had a catcher try to fake the throw with the ball actually in his throwing hand. He started the throw to 2nd looking realistic but as his throwing arm moved through the slot he began to let up in an effort to not accidentally loose his grip on the ball. Two things happened, one he didn’t fool anyone with the “fake”, and...
