I have a 12U LL team with a lot of lefties. So I'm thinking great opportunity to develop slapping, only problem is that none of the girls have ever seen slapping.
I'm thinking of basically showing them what Jessica Mendoza shows in her slapping clip YouTube - Jessica Mendoza Softball Training - HIT: Slapping - softball : Softball.comand having them start by doing that off a tee.
But I don't know- any of you have recommendations on how best to initiate and develop this?
Something I'm also considering is having the righties learn to do it as well. I remember Marc D talking about a team they played that was pulling out all the stops and had righties slapping as well as lefties. Where the batters steps go straight toward the pitcher, I don't see why not slap from both sides of the plate
thanks!
