Hotshots National 2033 - Draheim

The girls went out to Brenham to compete in the Usssa Super Select Regional this weekend. We spent the weekend shaking off a lot of rust, but per the usual we continue to go deep on Sunday. Every game this weekend was earned against some of the toughest teams in the Houston area. A hard fought second place is something that we don’t plan for, but in our failures and losses we continue to find growth. Congratulations to Kryptonite on a well deserved championship!

The $500 club got a new member today, Sofia “Big Sof” Torres.

We didn’t want to let the cat out of the bag but we have no choice. The Hotshots are officially transitioning into the first all-girls 10u baseball team from here on out ⚾️⚾️. While we’re in the process of making this transition our girls have some questions we were hoping that some current and former baseball players can answer.

⚾️ Why is the pitching so slow and how can we learn to wait on it?

⚾️Is it required to wear elbow, shin, foot AND hand protection every at bat? The slappers are concerned it will slow them down on the way to 1st

⚾️How do you guys get outs if we’re allowed to lead off before the pitch is delivered? The girls are worried with that unfair advantage that they would just steal bases at will.

⚾️Is it required that we cry and throw our stuff after every strikeout?
