League night is for fun and very rec. It's something for us has-been's to do to help stay active. I don't get why people are hating. It's better than sitting on a couch drinking beer. At least we're drinking beer and hitting bombs. hahaha.
So only the guys that play u-trip tournaments are the real thing in softball. Come on. Let these guys have their fun. I’ve seen a bunch of u-trip tournaments and played in a few and those feels ain’t big either , plus it’s underhand pitch nothing to be proud of.
@@PerfSpec well have fun! But if you don't mind I'll give you a little bit of advice. First of all the field doesn't look very big not taking anything away from your home runs that are bombs! It looks to me like you're probably playing in the lower division, if there is more than one division offered. So it looks like every pitch you hit was a grooved beach ball. He'll probably learn that you're skill level is above the ones you were playing with for the most part and you'll eventually move up if you like the game. So learn how to hit singles, doubles through the five six through the three four in the gaps line drives piss ropes straight blazers. Cause a better picture will get you to pop up. So if this is your game and your gig take some matting practice watch some videos on how to hit correctly not just a jimmy jack swing! I used to love this game and I played for probably 15 years and the game started getting boring we had it where it was a lot of fun back in the day local 4th of July tournament there would be 132 teams from all over the Southeast Now they'd be good to get 132 teams from the entire nation. Supposed people couldn't leave well enough alone and everybody wanted to hit the home run. So they started cutting bats shaving them down so any 125 lb want to be bomber could hit a home run. The people started getting hurt because of these illegal bats that sucks cuz I love that game! Keep hitting that brother feel like it Do it good Do it right take some bat and practice!
@@olddognewtricks2818 to be clear, I posted the video of my son, so it’s his game, not mine. I wasn’t that good. 😂. He played High School baseball, then 4 years on a baseball scholarship in college. After a year break, a friend asked him to play in the local softball league. They don’t have divisions in this rec league, and some teams are much better than others. He adjusted quickly. I only posted the homers, but he did lead the team in total hits, doubles, triples, home runs, RBI, batting and slugging. They have a 3 home run rule per team per game in this league, so for most of his ABs, he wasn’t swinging for the fence. He played in a couple competitive tournaments so far, and has nearly the same performance, albeit the defensive play is so much better (and more enjoyable to watch). For me, it’s fun to just watch him play and enjoy the game. Having said that, I appreciate your perspective, and am starting to understand the different skill set needed for success in softball.
@@PerfSpec It's amazing what editing can do because all I saw was the home runs then swinging for the fence and automatically thought that's all he did cuz that's all I saw I apologize I hope he has fun playing I did for a long time!
Same bat every game? Yes... he used his bat... in every game. And it’s not modified. 🙄 I guess some people can’t accept that it’s just a good hit. But if it makes them feel better about their own incompetence, so be it.
@@PerfSpec well I was just noticing the majority of the team was swinging the same bat manufacturer in the short video please don't try to make more out of it than what was said by me
I've seen the rec league here limit home runs to 3 per game. In tournaments I've seen it vary from 1 per game to 10 per game on a big field. The penalty for hitting over the limit is usually and out, but can also be an automatic end of inning, which is what it is in the local league.
@@ballfield wow, I like that one. I've heard a rule in the states for rec ball, if you hit 1 out, you're out end of the inning. Plus everytime you come up later in the game, auto out.
No homeruns seems a bit restrictive, but maybe on a short field it would keep the game going. With a limit of one, at least it becomes strategic on when to use it.
So I was a bit newer in the league when I posted this and realize they actually do let you hit them lol, idk what the limit is though, I'll have to ask when we start again in Sept
It’s a new bat, just regular softballs, and a mix of pitchers, but I’m sure if you worked on your game, you could hit one that far too. Well, then again, you probably just suck.
@@billywilson303 6 world titles in 35 years... impressive! This was his first year, playing in a rec league for fun. It’s just a new bat, and it’s not shaved. I don’t doubt you’re familiar with shaved bats, but he doesn’t need any extra help. Thanks for stopping by to share your wisdom though.
@@PerfSpec I'm actually very familiar with shaved bats, we used to catch pussies using them all the time, they'd get them taken from them and well, it never ended well. 6 world tittles, hundreds of USSSA/NSA/ASA tourney championships, rec league? lol, only for batting practice, I'm 56 now and will still go yard at over 400+
@@skyvedder Lol. Not hardly, but looking back I wished I could have learned guitar. I played Major 20 year's ago when it was real. I left the game when the bats became too hot to touch. When a 175lb dude could hit a dinger 375 with a loaded bat. It was time to leave, as did all the original greats. If you put a Worth Gold TPS in anyone's hands today, they'd be fortunate to hit a ball 300 ft. Just saying. If you call today's softball a man's sport, then it's a accurate assessment that you very well may have been the"band nerd".
Failed at baseball? He won the USSSA World Series in Kansas at 12 years old, played 4 years high school ball, got multiple college offers, played on a baseball scholarship for 4 years, and they won a conference championship. He then graduated. So I checked out your highlights to compare... hmmm... saw nothing other than commenting on UA-cam videos. But congrats on your success. Your mom must be proud.
@@PerfSpec she is. Mostly softball heroes are baseball failures. No need to brag about smacking a slow pitch over the wall. But those are great accomplishments though in baseball. Stop being so sensitive
@@ericbarr6812 Softball is a different than baseball. True for many, homeruns come easier, but there are team HR limits per game. In softball it takes some skill and finesse to string together hits to put up runs. He played in a tournament this weekend, and went 18 for 20 with 2 sac flies, and only 3 homeruns. They won the tourney and he got All-Tournament recognition. This video was just a bunch of homeruns, for fun.

Funny how mad people are about this video like chill this ain’t the pros just some dudes having fun 🤣🤣🤣
You misspelled douches.
in slow pitch your suspose to pitch the ball higher in the air
With these new bats they need 400 ft fences.
Some of those look like pop ups. Is that field 250?
They use a variety of fields for that rec league, but I'm confident that the trees were further than 250. 😂
280 ish prolly
Softball used to be a great sport. But bats and balls like this have ruined it.
It says alot about the league if the pitchers aren't wearing protection. Either way, its some good pokes he had.
I hear ya, but it's a rec league. There are some pitchers and infielders that do, as they should.
Right lol

Tough league I see.... left handed shortstop
1st season playing softball - local rec league.

Noticed something strange majority home runs with the same bat* manufacturer
100% shaved bat, you can hear it

@@aroth8835 I’m betting as a new player, he chose to get a bat like most of them were swinging. No disrespect to you intended. Thanks.
And?
They don't even really allow home runs in our league

Let me guess, illegal balls and illegal bats?
Absolutely no fun when it is so easy.
Had a blast actually. Thanks for watching.
So much more fun, more action for everyone
shaved bat, hot balls and garbage pitchers
It’s a new bat, just regular softballs, and a mix of pitchers, but I’m sure if you worked on your game, you could hit one that far too. Well, then again, you probably just suck.

Def not a shaved bat. Hard balls for sure, but if you think that’s something come to FL. That’s an e class player and rec league

My 12 year old can hit bomb's like that too with illegal bats and a waiter for a pitcher. Zero talent. Just a bush league for confidence impaired men.
Dude, you shouldn’t be encouraging your 12 year old to use illegal bats, even if he has zero talent.
@@PerfSpec Exactly my point Ryan. It takes zero talent to do what they do.
You’re the loser commenting on the video. You were the band nerd right?
