Every 9 year old who wants to try pitching should try pitching. You never know. Besides the best players want to try what they haven't done. I realized while watching my dd's HS team her senior year that every starter on her team, except for the catcher had tried pitching at one point in her 10u to 12u career. None of the kids on the bench ever pitched. Is it related? I think so, at least from the competitive personality trait.
Hmm. That's a good point. Here's my thinking on it as is. We already have 4 pitchers that simply need more circle time. If I keep working with her now through the spring of 16, she can give it a go. By that time, she'll either want to stick with it or continue at C. Fortunately, she hasn't said she wants circle time. Only to give it a try in the backyard a little more. But with her....a little more eventually becomes "I wanna do it".
