unless you have a major league prospect on your team the chances are it will be just family..friends..students..alumni....long time we had a team with 2 prospects and you couldn't find a place to watch there was at least 35 or more scouts and college recruiters watching!!

You're right....IW's are a copout...pitch to players like Bonds, Ortiz, and Ramirez....Let the pitcher prove his worth.  If they are that good, then face them and pitch.  That's what makes baseball so exciting and unpredictable (to a certain degree).

I love baseball too. Sorry about the problem, but what is the great thing about baseball?  You wear a hat!  Your whole team looks up to you, none of them are going to care anyway.  As for your baseball advice, I would say, "you already know how to play the game, just have a great attitude and everything will work out."  Your commitment level is directly linked to your playing level.

Usually, u use ur index and middle finger and thumb to pick up the ball. Most pro pitchers lift their leg up before they pitch, and gain wait on the foot off the ground, to make the ball go faster. For a few people, this is hard, so dont rush. It is very important on how u release the ball to. There are a series of ways to make the ball curve, go faster, etc. all over the internet. I am not a baseball player, but I observe other baseball players. \nWish I could be more help. Tomatosoup98

The way to a great pitching staff has always been development of the young players. The lack thereof is the reason why you see the same team names in the Cellar. \n\nYou can go out and buy a pitching staff with some regularity and should be able to put together a pretty good staff. I have never been a proponent of that as all it does is use cash.

Here's a link to some very informative fast pitch material which, in chart form, nicely presents situations for a pitcher and recommended pitch types and placement. I'm sorry, it is much too detailed to recap for you here, but I recommend that if you are serious about being an effective fast pitch chucker, you place the link in your favourites or print it out. ty.

Taken straight from the MLB Rules - Rule 1.04 The Playing Field\n\nThe pitcher's plate shall be 10 inches above the level of home plate. The degree of slope from a point 6 inches in front of the pitcher's plate to a point 6 feet toward home plate shall be 1 inch to 1 foot, and such degree of slope shall be uniform.

Well you have to understand what positions you are lacking in and sign some young fresh players that are hitting well, some pitchers would be heilman, lirano, tomko, and lieber. Some batters would be brossard, hanley ramirez, and brad wilkerson is starting to get hot. That or you can wait it out, but if you want to be a competitor i would recomend you start signing!

Most Scouts or Front Office people of Major league sports, are usually former athletes themselves.  As for a Major any business related theme, or sports management ( if offered).\n\nI would suggest taking classes in Psychology and sociology as well.\n\nSome colleges do offer sports themed majors.  \n\nThe main thing about getting a position for a Major league team is more of WHO you know than WHAT You Know.\n\nLook for internships, see if you can volunteer during the summer or offer help, just to get your foot in the door while still in college.\n\nSee if you can work with you College Athletic department, they do have student volunteers and the experience and networking with professional will help you in your long term goal.\n\nGood LUCK!!!!

WALKS AND HITS PER INNINGS PITCHED. IT'S A GOOD MEASURE OF A PITCHER'S OVERALL PERFORMANCE.

A good coach is first of all a good teacher. Ability to communicate, especially with the appropriate age group is important. Understanding of the game, beyond fascination from the fan perspective is important. Playing experience is usually a huge plus. In college, understanding of recruiting is huge.

Assuming you mean professionally: if you don't get drafted, then you go to a team's open tryouts.  There, you try out for scouts and they decide if you have talent.

Coming up with signs for one another is a great form of communication. The catcher and the pitcher are the heart of the team. There connection makes or breaks games
