Need some help here.

I don't have a clue as to where to click him, but he'll do just fine pointing for you...




Seriously...I wish I could help you, but my computer skills are...ummm?...terribly limited. Almost nonexistent really.

Can anyone else help...with the pointing, clicking, and rearranging of boxes? It's for a good cause.

I know how to set excel up - just need some help on the expected ranges

Anyone? Help? Spread...sheets..expected...ranges!

The season's starting soon...spread out and send some help to catcher09.

Wish I could help...the last time I set up excel I really paid for it...when he got out he really thumped me. Ouch!

Try this link. New England Catching Camp

Anymore help out there for catcher09?

Computer whizzes...you know who you are!

What’s he gonna do with the pull downs? It sounds like he’s gonna choose a number off a list to load a field.

What I need is expected ranges for throwing times for RF to 3rd, SS to 1st and running times form H to 1st.

I guess I was not clear on my request. I know how to set up the spreadsheet but just wanted to make it easier for data input.

What I'm looking for is a range of times:

What is a range of numbers for a throw from RF to 3rd - is it 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 up to about 4.0

What about a throw from SS to 1st - 2.0,2.1,2.2 up to about 3

What about time for running from H to 1st - 3.9,4.0,4.1 etc.

Thanks

You don't take time of outfielders and infielders throwing. If you know the distance from where they are throwing then you can figure the speed using the time that the ball travel from point A to point B. You better use a speed gun to know how fast a player trow. But believe me when an outfielder or an infielder have good arm you can see it.
About time from home to first the big leagues average for righties is 4.2 and for lefties about 4.0

I wish I could help you with that one, but if I understand what you’re doing, giving the user a pull down menu to make a choice, I think what you’re actually doing is slowing him/her down.

I learned a long time ago that the absolute slowest peripheral on a computer is the mouse, so although we always had to program for its use, by far the fastest mode of input was hot or function keys.

If you were using a DBM like VFP with a data input screen, I could tell you how to do it automatically, plus verify the data, but I’m afraid I’m not a SS kinda guy. How easy is it to set up and run macros in the new SS’s?

But I wish you good luck and commend you for trying to help. Baseball coaches with enough sense to accept help from us geeks usually find out we can make their lives much easier and save them lots of time.

If you go to the showcases section of this website you will find links to several good showcases. You can see what they are testing for. Most showcase websites have a results page os you can see what the ranges are for those athletes. It will give you a starting place.

You may also discuss any different tests the coach uses that may not be in a standard showcase.
