🥎Pitchers Take Note! 🥎

If you haven’t been following Mississippi State, you should.

Mississippi State showed the softball world something people need to pay attention to…

You do not have to throw 70+ mph to shut down an elite offense.

They took on one of the toughest lineups in the country in Oklahoma Sooners softball and did it with spin, command, sequencing, and confidence.

They pounded the zone.
They trusted their movement.
They changed eye levels.
They executed.
Velocity range = upper 50s, low to mid 60s.

High level spin and elite command.
So many people obsess over velocity while ignoring the things that actually make the best hitters, scared.

• Late movement
• Location
• Pitch design
• Sequencing
• Spin efficiency
• Changing timing

Velocity matters… but spin and command play at every level of this game.
Everyone developing pitchers should take note of what Mississippi State did this week.

Yesterday evening, Macy H. (2032
Uncommitted) pitched lights out. She’s been working hard to master her mechanics and it showed in her Corvallis Little League Majors debut. 3 innings of work, 7 K’s, 1 hit, 2 earned runs. Can’t wait to see her in the circle for her 12U Comets Fastpitch team.

Weekly lessons and late nights throwing in the garage have transformed this girl into a powerhouse!

🔥 Comets Fastpitch 2026 Tryouts & Winter Training 🔥
12U | 14U | 16U

We’re holding tryouts for the Comets Fastpitch 2026 season during our January winter training sessions.

📅 Sundays | 5:00–8:00 PM
• January 11
• January 18
• January 25

📍 Truax Indoor Center
This is an opportunity for athletes to be evaluated in a real training environment, not just quick drills. Players will get position-specific reps, competitive work, and a feel for what Comets Fastpitch is all about.

⚠️ Roster spots are limited.
We currently have only a few openings for our 12U and 14U teams, and we will be very selective as we complete rosters. Fit, coachability, effort, and love for the game matter.
Even if you’re not actively looking for a team, check us out. If you’ve got nothing going on on a Sunday, join us at the Truax Center, throw the ball around, sharpen your skills, and meet some other softball-loving players. It’s a great facility, and we’d love to see you.

✅ There is no charge to attend the tryout sessions.
If you’d like to participate in all winter softball training sessions, which continue through February and March, you can find full details and pricing in the registration link.
