That article was hot garbage.

Nice. Let me guess, you're against background checks? You've already expressed your belief that pitchers and catchers shouldn't have a role in calling a game as that's the exclusive domain of the coach. Maybe it's the suggestion for a pitching coach to use video analysis? Hot garbage? lol

  • effective coaches actually say very little (Is there research to back up this claim? Followed by anecdotal life story)
  • Micromanaging the game sends out signals of mistrust and incompetence (introduces straw-man)
  • Over-calling pitches from the bench at the youth level robs athletes of critical tactical knowledge needed to compete at an elite level. (coaches typically call pitches at all levels of competitive softball.)
  • Through direct eye contact and an empathetic response to failure, great coaches show they care about their pitchers as individuals, no matter their successes or failures on the field. (What?)
  • background check (Most parents do no leave their child unsupervised with their pitching coach. Most parents are catching their kids at the youth level. Team based pitching coaches will already have a background check).
