THis is JOHN KAPELUCK...

Make sure your toss is far enough frwrd aNd in front of your hitting side(right or left handed…), and -most of the power to a players serve comes from the body not so much the arm or hand itself…how many times have u watched a skinny lil player hammer a serve over nets? We all have and wondered..whaaa? If u only use arm, it won’t go that far if it even goes over. But if u push that side of ur body frwrd at same time u make contact…you’ll be amazed how much diff it makes. Try it, practice it, and nail down ur toss (as in, could make perfect toss w eyes closed)…precision toss is key. U.need.toss.exactly…where u…need it. Not above ur head. Not too far right or left…etc

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my message! I will definitely keep what you said in mind every time I try overhand serve. You're right about small girls powering their serves. I played with a small 13-year-old girl and she powered her overhand serve. I was amazed when I can barely serve it over the net.

imo you can either get the force at 2nd with the SS covering or if the runner on third breaks - tag play at home. In some case you can get a tag play with the 1Bman on the bunter/runner if hit hard enough at her. You can also have the pitcher field the bunt and hard fake to 1st or 2nd then whip around to 3rd for potential cheating runner... Or you can just chalk it up to what are you trying to accomplish? Not let the runner from 3rd score? then without getting an out you have done that by holding her at third and creating force plays at all bases and potentially putting yourself in a better position to get an out at any base or turn a DP if there are less than 2 outs.

what kind of 8U kids do you have? the ones I got can barely make a throw halfway heh

I think you messed up your shoulder. When done properly you should be fine.

You must be made outta glass to have not even been able to survive possibly one of the simplest and safest drills from Tom. Hell from the looks of this comment, you’re probably part of the reason behind many “not for consumption” product warnings.
