proud Dad

[default]

Last night at 10pm my dd comes to me and says "Dad, I can't sleep. Can we go out in the garage and do tee drills?" We Just got a set of tee stackers because she never did to well with them with her hitting coach. She was on fire last night probably had a success rate around 90%. Even made me record it once so she could snap chat it to her friends, she was so excited.

Moments like that build champions!... both on and off the field. You should be proud. How old is your daughter?

She's 16 but since she is not a power hitter and has 3.3 speed from the right side, her TB coach wants her to bat lefty. She's doing well. Picking it up quickly. Just hoping that her HS coach lets her continue to bat left and doesn't make her bat right. Sure hate to move backwards after three months of practicing lefty. Her hitting coach told her if the HS coach makes her bat right handed to just strike out and eventually the coach will let her bat lefty all the time. :lmao: He was joking, I think.

I hope this doesn't hurt monsters feelings but 3.3 is good but when you get into the 2.5 to 2.8 is fast and also what the major colleges look for in lefty batters. How is she at stealing second ?

"has 3.3 speed from the right side" - what is the usual time difference between the right and left side?

Depends on the college and the kid. There are players at D1 that hover around 3.0-3.1 Mainly the power hitter type. Hell mine couldent run a 2.8 with roller skates and a jet pack.
