I've been a lurker for years, but I've always enjoyed this thread. I haven't played competitive ball for years, but its always fun to read about others who still play.
Regarding your throwing without a partner question, I have a solution I was taught that is used sometimes in cold weather areas. Get a long sanitary sock, and tie the end in a knot. Then put a baseball inside the sock. Place your hand in, allowing maybe 6 inches to a foot of space between your hand and the knot. Use athletic tape to tie the sock around your wrist and forearm area. Then you can basically "throw" the baseball between the space between your hand and the knot at the end. Sounds funky but it works.
