Last week, the team used a Baseball facility for hitting practice. 2 tunnels, and the outside area. Stations and short toss outside, but the second tunnel, we used the pitching machine. This is where I am at my dilema. I asked DD's hitting coach her opinion, and will leave it later BUT, I am looking for other input. I have 4 specific points and will list them.
1. Release point. @48 inches off the ground compared to @24.. leading to #2
2. Trajectory. DOWNWARD as compared to flat to rising.
3 Speed (set at 60) comparable to what speed depending on distance/ reaction time?
4. This might be my least/most important. The COLOR of the ball. These were white baseballs as compared to the Yellow we use... Does it affect a hitter?
5 My last question, and regardless, my only real dilemma, Is it ok, to use a Composite softball bat, one regulation baseballs?
I am going on vacation in the morning, and will follow along. Sad(actually) the best part, we come back in two days, and have a tourney when we get back...
