We also have a Team .700 OPS and have scored a total of 147 runs with 180 hits combined. The girls have really enjoyed swinging the new bats and both have been used by multiple players. The Ghost bat is beginning to get really hot and will continue to be used throughout the summer into next season. Both of the Asura bats were hot out of the wrapper and will also be continued into next season. Playoff season is right around the corner so hoping the hitting continues to excel.","fullyFundedDate":1755465160708,"projectUrl":"project/elevate-to-celebrate/9499458/","projectTitle":"Elevate to Celebrate","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8058041_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1733083265975","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8058041"},{"teacherId":8058041,"projectId":9015007,"letterContent":"The Checotah baseball program would like to thank all the donors that were generous enough to donate towards this project. The Skillz and Driveline are beimg very useful in our offseason arm care program. Multiple players are using them daily. The weighted medballs are also a big addition to the program and are used in multiple phases. We also had plenty brand new game balls that were used throughout the summer. Something about playing with pearl baseballs brings alot of pride to our players.\r\n\r\nThe impact that of these items have been awesome so far and we arent even in season. They have helped with rehab assignments as well as providing strenght and conditioning aspect that we havent had in the past.

The Camwoods have been a popular training tool through the season! Guys swings are getting stronger and stronger. We have been able to do top hand and bottom hand drills with the one-handed trainer and full cuts with the two-handed trainer. The Marv balls are used on a daily basis and around 50 kids get trained with them daily! That's 1000+ batted balls a day, so our game bats have continued to stay in prime shape so far this season!

We were able to use the iPad in many ways. Mostly for using an app called GameChanger, which is basically an online version of the \"old school\" mom sitting behind the backstop with tan lines on her feet and forehead holding a big book keeping track of the score and stats. We still have the mom there but now all stats are recorded by the coach and players straight from the dugout. We also used it for video analysis of pitching and hitting through the season. It's amazing what these kids can learn when you show them on a screen.
