I did a search and all I found was Bristow's 4 methods on 8/9/19, so sorry if this has been covered at great length.
Do any of you have or coach a kid that hits change-ups well? I've seen some girls who just seem to have a knack for recognizing and whalloping a change up (you can see them grin when its coming). Others - like me - seem to coach lay off unless third strike and then fight it off, with anchor method. I'm just wondering if your recognizing a special ability in a certain kid and then developing that or whether it can be taught adequately to any decent hitter - without spending too much time there. I frequently mix changes into my batting-practice coach-pitch but we don't spend a lot of time on it specifically unless we know that a pitcher is prone to throw in certain situations and we will signal to look for it, sit on it and hurt it -- with limited success I might add.
