Thanks for all input gentlemen. We are going to try out the different solutions at practice. Leaning towards the pitcher taking cut.

For my money especially at 12U and below unless you have a great 1B you are making the right decision. Really drill the concept of throwing 2 bases from the pitch and work on cuts.

Everyone who said holding the runner at 3rd is only delaying the runner on 1st from getting to 2nd by one pitch is correct, almost every team will steal on the next play. Just remind the kids to throw from the outfield, through "the goalposts" (the cutoff's arms). that way you can cut the throw and get the runner at 2nd if there is no play at home.
