There is a right way to play this game and a wrong way and this is 100% in the wrong. I don’t care that the batter moved back out of the box- you don’t intentionally step back to throw at her head, as hard as you can, from about a foot away. I don’t want to hear “you don’t know it wasn’t intentional.” Save it. The runner at 3rd is about a half step off 3rd. The way the catcher is positioned to throw, that throw is going towards the 3rd base fence. The most telling part though? No one checks on that batter and catcher gets a high five right after from her coach. The batter ended up with a concussion. This is completely unacceptable and has no place in this sport.

This is a first that I’ve ever seen: challenging a call and you end up getting 3 strikes against you😅 Call on the field was out. Alabama challenged the call (obstruction on catcher) and ending up confirming the call was out, the runner at 3rd was ruled out because of the interference and then finally the runner going into home got a warning issues. You usually always see the catchers getting the short end of the stick but this time it’s the runner plus some.

Call on the field is obstruction because her left foot was in the baseline. In my opinion, the obstruction rule is getting way out of hand and too nitpicky. The SS has to get the ball to make a play. Let them play! And let the runners be the D1 athletes that they are and figure it out.

Since we are on the topic of rules, here’s one. This came up recently in the LLWS. I will be honest, I had no idea that was a rule so I figured this would help some of you coaches and players out! Someone tagged me on TikTok and when going through the comments, I saw Brittany McKinney (who was calling the game) state the rule as follows: After overrunning the base or returning to the base, the offensive player must return to the fair portion. Should they stand on the foul portion only, it is considered not in contact with the base and they will be called out if: a. they are tagged with the ball; or b. they stand on the foul portion of the base while the pitcher has possession of the ball within the pitcher’s circle.

Picture perfect do or die fundamentals👏🏼 She kept her momentum moving forward while using one hand on the outside of her foot to stay fluid and pushed out into her crow hop (not up) to throw a laser. Outie fundamentals are just as important as any other position!

Clips from my latest YouTube video “4 infield drills you can do alone with a glove, a bucket + balls.” When I was younger, I was always throwing a ball off a wall or hitting rocks with sticks. Now that I’m older, I still find ways to get in some reps with minimal equipment/help. No, it’s not perfect but it gets the job done and allows me to work on transfers and arm slots. To be honest, I love the random unpredictable bounces from this because that happens in games and can help work hand eye coordination. I am using my Valle Sporting Goods K47 7in trainer. Code: megrem Find a bucket lid that is foam so the ball bounces.

PARENTS. Start holding your kids accountable and allow coaches to do their job.

If you can’t play catch, you can’t play. Plain and simple. If you didn’t know by now, Morgan Stuart and I keep it real. No tiptoeing around subjects to avoid hurting your feelings. When you reach a certain age, balls should be thrown consistently in the chest every single time when you’re playing catch. If not, you’re not focused/working on it enough.

My dad, former D1 head baseball coach, touching on the importance of playing catch at our latest coaches clinic. If you’re wondering where my no nonsense attitude when throwing comes from, here you go 😬😂 And to be clear, he isn’t talking about young kids who are just learning. He’s talking about the kids who CAN throw but are lazy when doing it.

Winter is here and space is limited/we aren’t seeing coaches as much. Because of that, I’ll be posting old and new videos showing drills you can do all by yourself with limited space. Here are a handful of drills you can do at home. All you need is a glove, balls, tennis ball and a net. I am using my Valle Sporting Goods K47 trainer because I like training with a smaller glove but you can use a regular glove. Remember- it’s good to do the same things over and over every single day. It doesn’t have to be glamorous or a bunch of crazy looking drills every time you go work on your own. Working on the small “boring” things consistently will make you a great player.

If there’s an issue with playing time, let the athlete handle it!

A good couple examples of a do or die situation. In the first clip, the shortstop took the long hop, fielded it cleanly but wasn’t able to throw the speedy runner out. Normally, sitting back to play the good hop is ideal but because there is speed at the plate, going in to attempt to get it on the short hop would have been the move on this play. In softball, these are incredibly hard decisions to make because the decision needs to be made in a matter of a second. This SS is a stud so no negativity at all - this is just a good visual to show sitting back in softball sometimes isn’t always the best decision, even if it’s the “better hop.” If I actually had footage of me and my playing days (🥴), I could show a handful of times where I decided to play the long hop and the runner was safe. Second clip shows a good example of reacting quickly and going in to get the short hop. I will say though, I always teach if you hesitate for even a second after your pre pitch hop and don’t move in to get the ball, you do have to sit back or the ball really will eat you up.

Proper throwing sequence can really make a difference in accuracy and power of your throws. Making sure everything flows is very important. •Ball should start to separate out of the glove as you’re turning your body. •Ball should be back and ready to throw (palms down, elbows up) before your front foot hits. •Weight will transfer forward as you go to release. Think like your back leg and throwing arm are on a string. Both will release forward around same time.
