I do enjoy playing softball because it help you to clear your mind of other things. I also believe that this sport could be beneficial to others if they struggle with balance or hand-eye coordination. Recreational hobbies aren’t always sports or physical related. A couple of examples of other hobbies are weaving baskets, knitting, or even being a debater. These other hobbies could benefit you in ways like being able to have quick hands when typing or even just life skills for the future. Hobbies…

After watching Moneyball and reading the articles, I think that statistical analysis hinders the fun of sports. I feel that sports are not always about the statistics; I feel it is about the players. Because you could be the worst batter but then be the best fielder on your team. I feel numbers are just numbers they change all the time so I personally don’t think you can see how good an athlete is by statistics. Just like one of the guys said at the end of the movie that hit home and took the…

This devastated me as I knew I would miss most of my season after working all offseason to get ready for the season. Luckily, I was able to come back with approximately a month to go in the season, however my velocity was…

Pitchers at all levels – high school, college, and professionals – are running into the same problem: their elbows are giving out and they’re requiring Tommy John surgery. This is a result of years of strain on the ligament. I believe these players are victims of coaches who pushed them too far. Coaches at a little league or high school level should be focused upon teaching their players the fundamentals of the game. The best youth baseball teams are not the ones that hit the most home runs…

expensive. But for the high school level a composite bat would be the best choice (allforsoftball.com). These pitchers throw harder, and defense is more advanced in this age group. Using a composite bat gives hitters an advantage to be more successful. Composite bats also help out power hitters a lot, allowing the ball to jump off of the bat faster and travel farther. For the high school level using a composite bat is by far the right decision.…

The baseball bat has been around for a very long time. It is to be expected then, that like other pieces of sporting equipment, the baseball bat has evolved over time to take its present form. Originally, the players used to make their own baseball bat or get a wood maker to do it for them. This resulted in a huge variety of sizes, although the round baseball bat was always the most popular.
