lessens glare from stadium lights or the sun. The usual size of an outfielder glove ranges from 9-15 inches. Outfielder gloves are larger than those of infielder gloves which allow them to reach wider range and cover larger space. Softball Gloves for Pitchers and Catchers Pitcher’s gloves don’t actually need to be special nor have as much padding compared to other gloves. Usually, this will reflect the players’…

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…

curveball, change-up, slider) generally have similar kinematics with only minor differences in forearm and wrist action, and even less so in the elbow and shoulder(36-40). Fleisig et al demonstrated in a kinematic study involving 21 collegiate baseball pitchers that the change-up pitch is the least stressful, while the curveball and fastball have similar elbow and shoulder kinetics, with the curveball exhibiting increased forearm supination and radial to ulnar wrist motion(40, 41). The authors…

¨Time to go!¨ yelled Mom, ¨Ok let me just put away my toys and grab my gear¨ I anwsered. It was Summer 2013, I was 7 years old and I was going to my final game of the baseball season.Thinking about how I would, considering I was playing with kids 2 to 3 years older than me. When I had arrived the team was already starting to practice. The game was about to start, so I got ready to gear up and play. We were defending intially and the opposing team was hitting…

Freedom In Baseball This country was founded on the sport of baseball. Baseball has been around forever and has been America’s number one pastime for centuries. It was a warm sunny morning in Oakland, California and I was riding my bike home from the coffee shop on 5th street. It was the summer of my junior year and I had decided I wanted to live with my aunt for the summer. There were all kinds of things to do in the city and I had to choose something to do on the day my aunt was off work. I…

much more safe game to play. When players are on the base and their teammates hit the ball and they run to the other base they don’t slide. If they don’t slide they won’t get injured from skid marks, any bones getting broke, and getting stepped on. Pitchers will pitch the ball slower. It’s pitched slower because they want the batter to hit and get on base (Women’s Sport Information). Adults are more common to play slow pitch. Playing slow pitch for adults is much easier because they are hitting…

energy start to take over my legs. The crowd keeps cheering, I jump out of my seat and run over to the dugout to speak the coach. Coach “number 8 is the girl that hits deep to right field but, swings at high pitches”. The coach sends the signal to the pitcher “Strike two” yells the umpire. By this time the aroma of popcorn, nachos, hot dogs and peanuts has taken over the stands. My focus gets intense as the crowd cheers for the winning team. I start to plan each…

“Good eye, Matt! I would hear from beyond the dugout as I took the first pitch at bat. The pitcher wound-up and threw in the second pitch and I swung. I missed terribly, and my coaches thought so, too. “C’mon Matt, that was practically in the dirt, what are you swinging at?” I thought back to the first pitch and the chants that followed it, “Good eye, Matt” and “Way to watch the ball come in, Matty Boy.” I couldn’t help but think of all the irony surrounding these comments. The fact of the…

One of the reasons why many find the sport of baseball boring is because the majority of them don’t understand the rules of the game. I find baseball games to be completely consuming. Yeah, I know, it’s just a game. Unless you know the rules to the game, it’s hard to really appreciate all that goes on. One pitch can change the whole outcome of a game; one play can turn out to be more than what it seems. The home runs, the walks, the line drives made by good players on the disable list will bring…
