Fungo man?


football

Recommended Posts

Had the creator of this come to my school a few weeks back, the machine is unbelievable. But, it does nothing that a coach couldn't do, and it costs about half of a coaches yearly salary. So, I'd be shocked if more than a couple high schools have it, if any.

These things are pretty cool.  Saw one in action about 4 years ago while watching Baylor hold a practice.  You can program it to do just about anything.  With that being said, it cost way too much money for your typical high school program.  If your school district has the money to blow and you have 3 teams with 20 or more players than I say go get one.  However, most coaches can do the same thing the Fungo man can do with a $30-$60 fungo bat.  If it were up to me I would rather spend the money else where.

Crosby got one this year and it is worth every penny.  It has lights so hitters can load corectly in the cage. also it can be set to throw not just fast... or just curve.. but alternate... that way the hitter is not just concentrating on just fast.. he has to read spin and adjust..
It is also a great help with fielding at all places..  the coach can be with the kid talking while fungo is taking place.. instead of just hitting..
you can program a entire game in if you want.. say the scout report says the 1 middle.. 2 opp field or bunts, 3 pulls 4 hit pops in right field... ext
lots of things can be done esp with 3 team and only 3 coaches

We've had a fungo, but from what I understand, we don't use it very much.  At least that's what Drake Roberts has told me.
[/quote]well all programs would also like to have 7 coaches like Brenham does....
most have 2-4....

LCM as had one for 3 years now. Amazing piece of equipment. Worth every penny, Does a great work-out for the infield and outfield. Coaches can not keep up with the speed of fungo man. We'd go through about 3 buckets of balls before anybody knew what happened. And like somebody said before. The coaches can be right there with you telling you what you need to work on. instead of yelling.

    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So they premised that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake by checking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. That let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots in the state. One candidate wins the election by one 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed, and that they are in American citizen. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
