Our coach sometimes has the players wave the bat in front of catcher to distract catcher and pitcher.
This is 8th grade Little League Juniors.
I find this to be a Bush League move .... especially since we typically mercy every team we play ...
But regardless I wouldn't chose this approach.
Another bothersome tactic is to bump a field player while baserunning (intentionally) and throw hands in air pretending interference. One player actually shoved the 1st baseman while running for a HR in a Middle School game. Different coach.
I'm the Assist on the LL team and am seriously considering telling thecoach that I won't allow my daughter to do either of these .... My DD does not want to do either of these "moves" ...
I can't do much about the Bully on the Middle School team ... always doing something to a player on the opposing team but nothing done as she is "the star".
The teams we play against in Middle School and Juniors are not that strong (two exceptions) and pulling that crap doesn't sit well with me anyway ...
Any thoughts?
