Realistically, how often will a catcher not only be able to make the throw to second, but get the runner out? I have heard multiple thoughts on the subject. They are saying at 10 my daughter should be able to make the throw to the glove every single time, most catchers can only make the play 1 in 4 times, that she should come up firing even if the baseman are not there to receive the throw, some say it should go straight to the glove, some say bounce it 8' in front of the plate, etc.
So what have you all found to be the answer? She doesn't like to make the throw if she doesn't think it will help the play. I know this is the age she needs to be more aggressive but I don't want her to be so hard on herself if the runner doesn't get out either.
