I disagree too but for a different reason. We play in pretty competitive tournaments. As a first year 10U player facing a lot of A level pitchers, my dd struggled a lot with hitting in the fall. In late fall we played a lower level tournament with slower pitchers. My DD hit will there, and it bolstered her confidence. After that with a little help from pitching machine practice, she started hitting consistently again. It was so mental for her and facing less challenging pitching, even just that one, helped her realize she could do it.I don't entirely agree with this. Hitting crappy pitching is a skill and much can be learned. Also, around these parts if your team is good enough and your lineup hits well enough, you better be able to hit junk because smart teams throw junkers at you if you can't.
