Our select All-Star team is going to be facing some teams that heckle the pitcher and the 1B during gameplay. What are some drills that we can use to help the pitcher to focus?
I’m surprised that’s allowed in rec ball. What age is this? I’d think it would fall under some sort of league sportsmanship or conduct rules. Anyway, the best way to shut them up is to make plays and don’t respond to it. Creating drills will get the players thinking more about the chants than just doing their jobs.
Hecklers? Like the two guys that sit behind home plate at Florida games and try to distract the opposing pitcher? Classless...
I like a game where each pitcher gets 10 pitches and the others stand on the either side of the circle and do anything they can (tastefully) to distract the one pitching. Go three rounds and keep score. The first round or two is pretty crazy and silly.
