You might be a pitcher's mom when........

Your day job's dress code is business attire, however, you avoid wearing dresses or skirts due to the bruises on your shins and calves...

If your radar gun accidentally picks up the speed of a passing car going 55mph on the road behind the field and that suddenly becomes the speed that your 10 year old DD throws...you might be a pitcher's parent. :p

The rule of thumb is simple; take whatever speed mom/dad say they throw and substract 3 to 5 mph from it. :)

Dear VSFP mother,(DD with 7 pitches) and all who played against her-
How did the summer go? were all the tongue in cheekers right? Or did you DD show them what her arsenal can do?
Just curious.

If I had a nickel for every time a pitchers parent claims that she throws over 50 (12U) and she doesn't....I'd retire tomorrow.

This is why I carry a radar gun in the bucket. I like to watch the stammering when I pull it out and start gunning her. It's a quiet form of entertainment that I cherish, but never lead on that I knew she didn't in the first place.

Parents mostly have good intentions and I'm not at all offended in their claims. I just like to see it for myself.

Though the best ones are when people have told me that my radar gun is way off. (This is when I bring my 2nd gun...different manufacturer, just for comparison). ;&
I love it! :lmao:

If hearing dd (pitcher) and catcher talk in the dugout about the opposing batters and how to attack them gives you a thrill . . . you are definitely a pitcher's parent.

If watching dd smile when her newly consistent knuckle-change makes other batters look silly makes you feel good ... you are a pitcher's parent.

If you talk to the coach about his pitch calling because he does not call dds good pitches.

If you try to talk to ceterfielders parents about working on her speed because if she were only a little faster she could catch those balls at the fence.

You only go to restroom when dds team is up to bat.
