Hey all…I am new to posting here and have a question regarding pulling the ball.
My DD is 8 and plays rec 8U. It is coach pitch and her coach usually pitches it pretty slowly down the middle. She always hits it back up the middle. When I work with her I try to teach her to hit the ball where it is pitched and she has gotten pretty good at it. Problem is if the other team has a decent pitcher she has a hard time getting it past her. Her coach keeps telling her to pull the ball toward third base and she can't do it.
At this age should she be working at always pulling the ball or continue with what she is doing? Thanks
