just curious as to what the average pop times are for all age catchers. I’ve read anything from 1.6 to above. My dd is 11u and her fastest is 1.93.
They said “only 3 girls can at 12u can and u ain’t one of the 3”. However she can. So I was a little irritated.
Throwing from the knees is nice if they can do it. My dd has been working on it for a little while. She went to do a tryout not to long ago and they wouldn’t let her throw from her knees. They said “only 3 girls can at 12u can and u ain’t one of the 3”. . However she can. So I was a little irritated.
Unfortunately, that wouldn't even be near the top of the list of dumb things that I have heard travel ball coaches say. That may be a good topic for a new threadDon't you just love it when some wannabe softball coach make a dumb statement like that.
If the wannabe said that to my daughter, I'm sure I would have made some smart a** remark (well I only know 5 good 12 under coach and your not one of them)
Heymy daughter catches and i think to much is made out of the time that play itself has alot of variables to be successful one the pitcher if she is throwing 45 mph doesnt matter if your kid has a 1.8 ... if your pitcher is throwing 60 your kids can be 2.0 .... then you need a short stop with great chemistry to make the play.... give me a catcher with 0 passed balls any day over a 1.8 pop that cant block
hey streak you subbing for the slamforce I saw you put your number out there?I agree streak22. However I want a catcher with no passed balls and a great pop time. Lol
