Fastest pitcher in the state

I guess I should have said the reaction time would be reduced equal to a ball moving at 75mph...........

I knew what you meant...that's why I didn't respond. That's a given.

Duckhunt- I would say just as many are late as are under the ball, trust me, if they were JUST under the ball they would be able to fix it quicker and she would not consistantly throw 1 hitters and no hitters all summer. But I do agree that the speed alone does not make megan hard to hit, it's that dang wind-up! You know that saying "you can't hit what you can't see" well there is the perfect example. You can't pick it up til it is out of her hand, and but then it is already at you and you hit the mit before you swing. It's frustrating, but fun to watch if you are on her team!

The wind up on Megan is very deceiving and adds to this pitcher's success. I think she is also one of the classiest players in softball. I am more impressed with her every time I see her. As a physical therapist I do believe that her motion will ultimately take it's toll. Hopefully not in the next 4-5 years but you cannot place that much stress on the L5-S1 disc repetetively without some consequences in the long run. The act of bending forward with the knees near straight increases the pressure in the lumbar intervertebral disc by approx. 200%. Repetition will weaken the disc. I hope I am wrong.

"CLUB D" -- pretty catchy. I think you are on to something there.

std- I hope your wrong too. lol

do you miss me? It's been over a week! Thats a long time for us to go during the season without seeing each other! But don't worry, I will bein Waverly this weekend! See you there! Go Eagles!

I don't miss having to call pitches against you. Don't look for much to hit, or have you already figured that out.

I think I look too hard, but that will change soon. I was havig trouble seeing the batters from third so I went to the eye doctor, and turns out I need glasses, go figure. I am hoping that will cure my hitting too, guess we will see

Ashley Elrod from Rossview throws around 63-65 and she goes to Club K, she had a car accident early in the season and is just now getting back in form. She struck out 20 today against Clarksville High and is at 542 K's for her career as a junior.

A jugs radar gun picks up the pitch as it leaves a pitchers hand, not at the plate. So a pitcher throwing 66 at 43 feet is throwing 66 at 40 feet. Only the reaction time is changed. Three feet is big for reaction time but not the look of the pitch from the sidelines.

Yeah...it does look a lot different from the sidelines from the 2 distances. You ARE stating the obvious. I don't think anyone is saying the speed is different. It is the same. It does look a lot slower from 43'...especially from behind the plate.

[Guesswho?]

The Fox girl from McMinn County can bring the cheese. One of the better pitchers in the state this year- somebody needs to be recruiting her ASAP!
