DD's HS coach insists on having a coach call the pitches.
The AC (who I coach with on TB team) tells me everything and one thing he has been very upfront with is that this is new to him. he's seen other coaches do it effectively, and he enjoys doing it, especially with DD.
the problem I'm having is his pitch calling isn't that good (I'm hearing this from others, most recently a scout for another team) so he tries something, it doesn't work and DD gets blamed for it. (The HS Coach is big on placing blame on his players, but that's another story)
DD has been in an excellent pitching training program and knows the mental game and how to mix pitches. I'm thinking she would do better on her own.
i'm sure many of you have been in a similar position, what do you do when the pitcher might know better than the pitch-caller?
I know, it's only High School, but still....
