DD (1st year 16U) pitched in a tourney over the weekend. Yesterday she had a batter crowd the plate on her the most she ever has had - toes on the inside line of the box. I was behind the plate and looked like she was hovering over half the plate.
It threw DD off, and she ended up walking her. She brought it up to me after the game and mentioned how much the girl was crowding the plate and how it impacted her.
Any thoughts on how she can handle this type of situation? Is there an approach to follow when someone crowds the plate to this extent?
