Have this idea, want to get feedback on feasibility.
Let's say I rent a couple of softball fields during the summer for live pitching/hitting. Advertise it.
Once/week, say Tuesday at 6 p.m. Or for older high school kids, I could make it during the day, like 10 a.m.
This would take place on each field:
2 pitchers, 2 catchers (catchers can be parents), 3 hitters.
Each pitcher goes through the 3 batters twice apiece (6 at-bats). That is 1 inning.
Each pitcher goes 4 innings.
Each batter gets 16 at-bats (a typical tournament in 90 minutes)
Each pitcher faces 24 batters (a typical long game)
No fielders, no running out hits, just very rapid fire.
Cost might be $10 to pay for field rental. Non-profit, just something good for local players.
What would make this work? How would I tweak it? What would make this attractive to pitchers and hitters?
