@Cannonball Do you see slapping as a last resort for a hitter? Like teaching a base all pitcher to throw a knuckleball or submarine because they weren’t getting it done the other way? As an old base all guy, I’m curious when I should look at slapping as an option for my girls.
It should be the first resort for all hitters in my opinion. So few can do all three phases well though.
If I were starting an 8u team full of orphans they would all learn to slap (bunt/slap/hit from the left side) first.
