I am a third baseman and above average hitter. I have always considered myself an RBI man.

SSUSA Staff, I have not played competitive softball in a long time. Played senior softball in Columbus, Ga in their recreational league up to when I moved to Kentucky.

Although I am turning 66 this year. I will pray for your team, we all need to acknowledge GOD gave us this ability to still be playing. As for Dbax, why should it be a deal breaker? My wife travels with me when I travel. She not only is my wife but also my best friend.

John028, I agree there is nothing wrong with taking a walk. I have taken many and will continue to. A batter should never swing at a bad pitch. There are many factors that come into play during each at bat, number of outs, who is on base and what base the are on, who his the next batter. As a batter you have to analyze each of these factor and know your game as well as your team,the opposing team and how the umpires makes his or her call.

66 years old man looking to join a tournament team, lives in Central Kentucky. Third baseman by trade but can handle shortstop. Before knee issues play alot of left field and left center. Have played first, I am a big target at 6'2". Have talk with some before went down with knees. Can drive in more RBIs than I give up on defense.

I agree with yankeesfan12, through the years I have seem many players go to the plate and try for a walk. Softball is an offensive sport and I believe I am an offensive player. I can do more harm putting the ball in play. I have prided myself throughout the years as an RBI man more the hitting. On that also, I believe there is no such thing in slow pitch as a sacrifice fly, unless it is the last inning and the guy on third is the winning run with less than 2 outs.

I agree with John028, through out the year I will maintain well above .700 OBP. I will have the good day and some bad days. If you are hovering around .500-600, you should spend more time in the batting cages.

I agree with cv elite. The questio I ask is why does the administrator allow it. Not sure about the comment on the batters box, but agree the rule needs to be informed. I see video after video of guys hitting bombs, but yet the front foot is clearly on the ground out of the box as the hit the ball. On the other hand I don't strike out much at all but I am a pull hitter and will foul out often.
