Daddy ball or select ball as he calls it is ruining the city leagues too. They have taken over the local park system here in Zachary and ruined the leagues for both boys and girls.

Preach it. I've got one foot in both. A 14U kid playing USSSA-AAA and a 10U kid who is more the rec speed and just loving the game. Had a dad at my 14U's practice last night blasting rec kids as another friend was telling us about how a tournament team had to kick off a rec team this week from the Zachary field. (Which was legit, since the tourney team did schedule and pay for the field use.) This dad was saying, "pshhht, rec ball... they can go practice on a soccer field."

Sadly, a lot of tourney parents feel this way. It's ugly.

It hurts the young pitchers the most-- they are pitching all year long--- and people wonder why they are having arm surgeries. They are throwing so many curve balls so young that they are damaging the ulnar ligament in the elbow-- eventually it becomes damaged needing surgery. Think about it!!!!!!!
