Our team played in an 18u tournament in Virginia last summer. For some reason DD's change up was working really well that particular day (not sure where that came from...)> Anyway, after getting several hitters out with that pitch, the third base coach started yelling to his hitters "Watch the change up". Whenever he did, our catcher (who called the pitches), typically asked for a riseball inside. Then every once in a while she would change the sign and actually call a change up. The 3rd base coach was muttering to himself the entire game and we were just loving it.

I absolutely love hearing a coach yell out "watch for change up" and our pitcher blows it by them. I never ever ever yell watch for change up. I will tell her be smart and protect before she gets set, but once set I rarely say anything to them.

I love it too! Some coaches are so predictable with the 2-strike change up. It's all they ever call. Not on our team. Go ahead and wait on it, see what happens.
