High School Softball Team Under Investigation For Catcher's Wild Throws

Needs to be banned

2nd kid absolutely should have swung at her with the bat.

Why was she throwing that direction anyway.

If true, what kind of person would throw at another human’s head from point blank range?

By Wild you mean intentionally trying to hurt an opponent? The player and coaching staff should never see the field again. It was assault.

Militant butch catcher and brain dead umpire combo.

2nd one was absolutely on purpose. It wasn’t a strikeout and there was no one on 3rd. She just got up and smoked her.

That should be followed by a bat to the noggin of the assaulter.

Ref should have ejected her the first time. That's that.

If she did that to my daughter, I'd beat her senseless and say I was just trying to pick up the bat.

an acceptable time to have the batter swing for the catchers head. and when she connects, stand over the batter and say she is Batgirl

Mental problems can't be hidden!

I'd be all for banning from HS sports for the rest of her "career". Had a baseball teammate miss his junior and senior year for obviously intentionally kicking a kid in the knee during a soccer game.

On the first throw, if you were absolutely giving the catcher every benefit of the doubt, you could say she was attempting to throw behind the runner on third and made a horrible throw (although I really don't think that was what she was doing). Why didn't the runner from third score on that throw? Is there a different rule about that in softball?

The second throw was obviously intentional, nobody on third. The ump should have immediately ejected the catcher. The association is correct in investigating this.

Neither one of those throws would have been caught by the 3rd baseman if the batter was out of the way. Both would have brought in runners. Neither time the batter was purposely in the way either so catcher without a doubt was pegging them on purpose. Her and the coach should have been ejected on the 2nd one without a doubt.

Just kick her out for rest of season and maybe next year, it is high school softball.

Batters should have cracked her skull with the bat on the next pitch.

I mean on the second throw there was no one stealing and she didn’t have a teammate close to the bag. the 3rd baseman was damn near closer to home than 3rd.

This is probably a coached behavior. While the batter should stay in the box, the batter isn't required to stay in the box but could lead to interference.

i woulda whipped that bitches arse, that would have been my daughter she threw at... i would gladly catch a charge over that shite
