My dd pitcher is 11 and just moved to 12U last month. Her catcher is the same. I've always thought I wanted the girls to call their own game. Longterm, learning from your own mistakes is more valuable than being told what to do. For now coach is letting them call their own game.
For whatever reason, the catcher is neither moving in or out, and does not call for a CU. I've spoken to my DD about talking to the catcher about setting up on the black, both inside and out, and throwing the CU. For whatever reason, she is too....shy to do so.
After giving up more 0-2 and 1-2 hits than I'd care to remember, I am begging the coaches to call pitches. I fear she will have to totally get her head beaten in before she is willing to take the next step in her pitching evolution.
