The excitement of anyone can win in this point of the college softball season is in fact - exciting. But in reality what we are watching are pitchers who are on a slow decline… a thread 🧵🪡

My biggest wish in travel ball is that parents/coaches allow players to be kids. Enjoy & act their age. Why we put college recruiting on middle schoolers is crazy, why elementary/middle school athletes have recruiting social medias blows my mind. It’s disturbing to say the least

My hope for softball is that we will be able to have open minds to grow the game: 1. Pitching needs to be taught differently 2. Kids are KIDS. Not $$ or elite athletes 3. Tech/data/science are great = requires admittance we were wrong at some time in our coaching career

For the love of the softball gods, announcers, please STOP saying the underhand pitching motion is natural. Especially when glorifying pitchers for throwing 150+ pitches within a 48 hr period (not including warm up 😟) Picture shows one piece of evidence to prove otherwise

Had a woman yell at me from the stands to “control my players because they are leaving the bases early.” They were getting good jumps… we don’t continuous steal, we don’t delay steal. The girls were truly working on getting good reads. P.s. these were 10 year olds.

Often coaches or pitchers get rid of the fastball… but WHY?! This is the body’s neutral pitch. It has a spin profile that is SO important to their pitch profile. Taking it away is like hiding a piece of someone’s jigsaw puzzle while they look for it in front of your face!

If I could give one piece of advice to parents and players in travel softball or probably youth sports in general - Coaches should not view the athlete as disposable. They picked the athlete for a reason and now it’s their job to coach, create culture, develop.

The reality - pitchers are tired and overworked. Little recovery, tons of travel, less lifting, with increased play will decrease efficient patterns, or decrease the compensation/s they have that make them great and effective pitchers. How can we slow the decline?

Understand how to develop more than 1-2 starters with 2+ pitchers that ride the bench. A baseball mindset w/ a lot of pitchers who have specific jobs and pitch only a certain amount per week. Our body is not meant to handle the workload of pitching 2+ games in 24hrs.
