Wow..and sometimes the ball is moving..and fast...and just getting your glove on it is a challenge...yes..maybe with a slow moving ball going less than 10 mph..this might be possible...maybe she's talking about how to pick up a stationary ball..😊

@MegRemSoftball So..your in your ready position playing 3rd base..a 90 mph ball is blasted about 6 ft to your left or right down the line..and all you can do is react..maybe 1 step and reach or dive....so you tell me what your going to do....like I said..if it's a slow moving ball right at you..ok...

Is there a way to do this while diving into home? Just dive to the side? I recently broke my leg while sliding and am going to try diving. 🤷‍♀️
@MegRemSoftball
@MegRemSoftball 21 сағат бұрын
I wouldn’t recommend diving into home. Too dangerous! Now, there will be times where you hook slide and start feet first and turn to a dive which is fine because you’re past the catcher.

I don’t understand a lead off? Just to run half way and run back? So your tricking the defence team into stealing another base but your not? And what if the batter kits that ball? You can’t lead off anymore no?

A lead off is there so if the ball is hit, you’ve got a good jump

You can slide past home but with every other base, if you’re sliding and staying there, you can’t go by it.

I really only take issue with kids who are natural and heavily dominant right handed, but they’re fast so they get converted to lefty and try to learn to slap hit. Natural speedy lefties, I get it. But man, it’s hard to sit there and watch a natural righty have bad AB after bad AB. For the ones who can do it though, it’s pretty cool to watch and part of what makes softball different and great.

Anyone that wants to watch what slapping can do to a top team in the country, 2016 PGF 18U finals is all you need to see. To us baseball guys slapping is sometimes not fully respected but it should be. Then if you can find it watch Tony Rico explain why he made the line up the way he did. Excellent coaching in that game.

It depends on the slapper and what they feel comfortable with. Most slappers will take a small step in with their front foot before crossing over. Mainly helps with timing!
