Discussion: Return to playing after pulmonary embolism (PE)

Thanks for the reply, I still haven't been cleared to play, my PE was classified as unprevoked (no DVT was found). I was told not to play while on the blood thinner (Apixaban - Eliquis). I did have a CT on Friday which showed the clots have cleared.

Normally, I'm an outfielder but I do play infield, also. I'll probable work my way back as an EH and getting a CR. I know the big concerns is being hit by the ball and a collision with another player or the fence.

Thanks
Steve

I had a PE in February and haven't been cleared to play, yet.

Has anyone else had a PE and returned? How long were you out? What should I expect?

Thanks
Steve

Discussion: diference between melee 2 bats

The shorter barrel changes the swing weight making the bat feel slightly more end loaded. The new Reloaded has a 3/4 oz end load and 13" barrel which should swing about the same but with the larger barrel.

When developing the brackets for the larger age groups; how do you select the teams for the different pods and keep the brackets balanced - competitively?

Bruce
I have also used the method you described but my source was the same as yours.

I know your buddy in Tacoma and Bash BP together a lot. So, I didn't understand it either.

Discussion: Opinions about custom glove makers....

Not a custom but the Spalding Pro Select is an extremely under rated glove. You can get NWT on the auction site for less than $100, a very good value.

If you're looking custom then Glovesmith is as good as it get; they will work with you to get the fit and finish you want.

I'm a big Nokona fan but you have to be conscience of the leather combination, if weight is a concern. Kangaroo and sandstone are your best choice to reduce the weight.

Topic: Bats
Discussion: Endload or balanced?

I read a study which proved MOI effects swing speed more than weight. Players swing lower MOI bats faster than higher MOI bats. A balanced bat will a have a lower MOI than an EL bat. So, generally people will swing balanced bats faster than EL.

Does that mean balanced bats perform better than EL?

I don't think so, there are a lot of other variables to consider when evaluating bat performance.

Discussion: When Is It Bat Altering?

The rule on altered equipment doesn't say enhance or increase performance. It simply says change the physical characteristics; adding weight to the knob changes a physical characteristic of the bat, its MOI. The added weight may not enhance performance but it is still an altered bat by the rules.

Anything that adds weight to knob changes the bat's MOI thus changing its performance and is illegal.
