@Sloppy_BJ_ @Deepthroat17269 Bridgette B is the absolute goat.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@JaredB_BSBL Yea and they were hot af. The current coaches crying are either soft af or they’ve got an agenda. Seems like a lot of money in selling high velo pitching.

@batcluberik @USABaseball Love this

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@KCHSBall How dumb is the average HS baseball coach? Super dumb?

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@KCHSBall Im aware.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@CoachHammonds_5 They also cooled the bats down, a lot. These aren’t BESR era -5 bats.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@KCHSBall Guess we’d need to see some data. The length will slow bat speed so again, unsure if it’s the big change in Velo that people are saying. I’d be more concerned about USSSA kids around u12 pitching against kids that hit puberty and are 6 foot 12 yo’s personally.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@KCHSBall It matters in ability to catch up to pitching, but mass offsets speed some, so I’m not sure that a mature, adult size kid is going to have higher velo’s with a lighter bat. My 10-12u kids go from -10 to -8 when they can handle it and it has obvious advantages in balls travel

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@coachmarker To your point, why wouldn’t MLB guys all swing a cupped bat. Or why wouldn’t they all swing a little thinner barrel profile. It’s because mass offsets the speed some and it’s a balance and varies per individual. Even more when kids are at different levels of maturity and size

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@Matthew29015869 What has baseball become? If you’re not a 6’2 adult at 15 you’re not welcome in the sport!? What the absolute hell have we allowed.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@KCHSBall Also I don’t think the velo data and physics match the implication that this somehow a huge change to exit velo.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@BenGaronzik This is the exact attitude I’m referring to. If they (anyone not a 6’2 adult at 16) “somehow makes varsity”……is everyone on HS teams a world class top 5% size athlete all the sudden? Wasn’t when I played varsity 10-12th grade, Legion and JUCO under BESR regs

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@BenGaronzik As you’re aware size/strength vs fielding ability doesn’t correlate the way you’re implying. I think everyone should look to actual data on these velo’s before crying foul on a change that helps some players stay in the game longer, which id think we all want.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@TheDataCage @TheNoto24 @USABaseball Do you feel like this does allow less physically mature kids a better shot at playing competitively? That’s what I’m hoping comes out of it. Competitive HS baseball shouldn’t be exclusively available to fully mature adults. Getting out of hand.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@BenGaronzik It’s satire as the opposite reaction to most coach’s on here saying any kid swinging anything but -3 isn’t welcome and should eat and lift.

This won’t move velo’s up significantly, it just may allow kids who aren’t 6’2 adults in HS to play more competitively.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@PaulBelo2 @IHSA_IL I’d actually love to see it in his hands. I bet it’s not what you think and also, that’s not 99.9% of high schoolers so F off.

[nuks9 @sentinal732]

@JLucroy20 As a college coach any kid not swinging -6 is too dumb for my program.
