I got a letter and invitation in the mail today to go to some kind of national tryout for the Baseball Factory, which is run by Under Armour. I've been looking at their website, and was wondering if anybody has experience with it personally that they could share? Maybe some advice, especially if you're a catcher. It's an indoor session, if you did that. Is it actually worth the cost for the video program?

So I'm heading into my sophomore season in High School, and I'm most likely taking over the starting role on varsity. I'm a catcher and a very good defensive player, with a solid bat. I was just wondering for anybody who might know anything about it, once you get to the process of getting into college, how would you go about playing college ball? Do they hold open tryouts, or? I'm from New England, so recruiting and scouting isn't exactly great.

So I'm starting to work out with the whole rice bucket thing, and I'm a catcher in high school. I understand that it helps improve your hand strength and your forearms, but what does this transfer to on the field? Like, how does it make me a better player?

1. A(-3,-2) B(3,6

2. C(8,-10) D(-2,14)

3. E(-2,5) F(1,-1)

4. G(-2,3) H(4,-1)

5. I(-5,2) J(1,-4)

Given right triangle XYZ where measure of angle Z=90, find the missing side or angle.

1. X=? Z=10 Angle X=30 degrees

2. X=7 Z=15 Angle X=?

Please explain problems, first good response gets best answer.

Given right triangle ABC where measure of angle C=90 degrees, find the missing side in simplest radical form.

1. A=6 B=8 C=?

Does C equal 10 by the Pythagorean theroem? If not, how do you do it?

2. A=? B=5 C=13

Does A=12?

When the Nationals shut down Strasburg, will he still pitch in the playoffs?

Next year Im going into my Sophomore year, age 15. I'm 5'6" now, 150 pounds. Based on this, do you think I should go 32" or 33" so that I won't worry about needing a new one soon.

For anybody who has used the Easton Power Brigade series, how do they perform, and do they really break as easily as I've heard? Also, what is your favorite BBCOR bat?

I'm looking for a new bat to use going into my sophomore year next season, and I'm wondering if anybody here has used the DeMarini dx271 Maple, and if so, how does it perform/durability. I've heard it stacks up pretty well with the other BBCORs.

I play high school baseball, and I am looking to buy a new bat. I've used a few of the new BBCOR bats, and I don't know whether to find a BBCOR or a good wood bat. Wood is substantially cheaper, and a lot of BBCORs feel like I'm hitting with wood. So, is it even worth spending the extra money for a BBCOR?

Im looking into some wood bats, and am wondering what companies make the best bats. My high school team got a few woods from the AC bat company, which is a sub-company of Axis, that I really like, but I cant seem to find out where to buy them, so if you know that would be useful as well.

The main brands I'm looking at are:

Marucci

AC

Sambat

Does anybody know the average batting average by position in baseball? The third baseman on my team thinks that catching every inning of every game doesn't affect performance at the plate.

Area=1/2 apothem x perimeter

how do you find the apothem of a regular pentagon with a radius of 8 feet. Also, I cant seem to figure out how to find the side length either, so help with that would be useful.

Best Answer goes to first person to respond with the answer, and all help is much appreciated (If i cant pass benchmark, Ill have to retake the course next year!)

I have a nike catchers mitt that ive used for a few years now, and it used to be my brothers. Im looking into purchasing a new mitt, but i don't know what size to get. All it says on my mitt now is full sized, and i cant find out how many inches that is. Does anybody know how many inches it is? Also, what do you think is the best brand to get a catchers mitt?

So, there's a girl at school that I really like, and I just met her in September. I've never had a real conversation with her, just a few words here and there. I've never actually asked a girl out before, so I'm not completely sure how it should be done. She walks the same way I do from school, so I've thought about trying to approach her then. Any suggestions on what I should do?

For those who have swung BBCOR, what bat do you think is the best?

So, as the spring sport season comes around at my high school, ive got a huge decision to make: Baseball or track? Up until this year, baseball is the only sport ive ever played, and id love to play in high school and even college. But now, i started throwing in indoor track, and i really like it, and my coach says ill be really good at hammer. I could always just play in babe ruth, but then what? I dont know if i could ever play for a good college without playing in high school. Thoughts?

If you have used the DeMarini CF5 and/ or the new 2012 voodoo BBCOR model, which one do you prefer and why? Also, how about the Easton Omen or Easton S2 BBCOR models?
