Hi. My dd is 14/freshman. This is her first year we've have school ball avail in our district- this is the first week of practice here.
She's a pretty good hitter. Always had great averages- 'A' level travel ball team this year- she's played a lot for many years.
But we've never come across the machine much. Maybe a year or two prepping for all-star games. But not much.
They pull it out this week for school ball practice & she can't hit a ball to save her life!! not ONE!!!
What gives?
She's always been one of the top hitters on all her teams. No problems to mention until this point. Now all the sudden we learn she can't hit from a machine. ? Is it somehow different? Or is it mental now? My husband is starting to wonder.. is the machine throwing them too high for what she's used to.. etc... don't know. We're clueless. I guess she just needs to get used to it? She's really upset.
