*sigh*
Two completely different animals. I'm baselining at what I would expect for a 12 year old and your baselining on what you see from a D1 pitcher? Really? Is that what it's come down to?
She was hitting spots all of last year. She hasn't been the kind of pitcher that walks batters, she can hit the strikezone always has.
So, basically your saying that she should not have been taught these other things and she should go out in the backyard and throw nothing but change-ups and fastballs? Ok, sure. That's the coaches position and seems to be a lot of other folks.
So, maybe that's what this discussion should have been about then. What age do you introduce these other pitches? What skill level? When do you allow them to practice them? When do you allow them to use them in games?
Please enlighten me cause evidently I'm out to lunch and so is her pitching coach.
