Of course I agree that you shouldn't throw it over the plate in every situation. I just think that when you teach a kid that it's OK to ignore what the coach is asking without at least trying to work on it with them it's a really bad life lesson.I agree with this up to a point, the point being that there is never a call for a pitch out of the zone. I'm trying to teach my daughter that she can throw the pitch that is called, but that she is in charge of where it goes, depending on the count and other factors. Do you agree with this?
Then the pitcher should have to shake it off during the game and the coach would have to take a trip to the mound to figure out why.Of course I agree that you shouldn't throw it over the plate in every situation.

That's a really big difference then just throwing what you want.Then the pitcher should have to shake it off during the game and the coach would have to take a trip to the mound to figure out why.
Highly disagree on a pitcher throwing something they do not feel comfortable with doing. If a pitcher is thinking that much ahead of the coach the pitchers thought process should be included.
That it is.That's a really big difference then just throwing what you want.

Are you recommending "The Science of Pitch Sequencing" edition of that series?Oklahoma has been or at least were before Rocha(not sure about now) using Perry Husband effective velocity. His book "downright filthy pitching" was what Melissa Lombardi started with. It might be a good read just for your own information.
