When our pitchers pitch during practice, like if half the team scrimmages the other half, their goal is to get the batter out, just like a regular game. One time a coach told my DD to give a girl something to hit and DH jumped right on that (AC at the time). She throws to better herself as well as the batters, or not at all. might as well have a coach do it.
I have been lucky enough to have some great mentors in this sport in the form of current and former coaches and a few moms and dads of girls now in college. I pickup things from each as I listen and a dad of a pitcher brought this point up one day and man did it stick. The biggest thing I worry about with my DD pitcher is what is between her ears. Confidence and poise is king so I protect her from situations like this. I am all about the situation you described. Glad your DH jumped all over that one!
