I'm going to a softball college exposure tournament in Colorado at the end of the month & I need some tips. Any advice? Asked by kaity o - Wed Jun 18 17:28:58 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It depends on what position you play. Number one, if you bat, they are looking for speed from home to first. That is most important. If you are a pitcher, hitting is not so important since most college pitchers will not see may times a the plate. If you are a regular defensive player(which means not pitcher) they are going to be looking for mechanics, speed, any extra effort you can give. If you are a pitcher, speed, movement of pitches, knowing when to throw a certain pitch. It really depends on where you play.

Q. I got a new first-basemen softball glove about two weeks ago. I've used it at practice, put shaving cream in it, and placed it under my mattress. It's close to being broken in but I would really love to use it during my tournament during the weekend. Any suggestions on how to completely break it in?

You rub that stuff in and then put the glove in the oven to speed up the process...it can seriously dry out the leather and the manufacturers of the gloves do not recommend it.
