Great replies everyone!
I have to tell you, I am entering my 2nd year of travel, (first year 14u) and have been managing my dd`s team since she was a "T" baller. I have found this forum to be one of the best resources on the net...
My thoughts as a first year 14u "B" team....(I want to keep things simple)
Pitch selection.....seems you all agree. Know the batters and tendencies. I`m going up and in, and low and away with the fastball. Would a change be a "no no"? Pitching is one of my strong points this season, and all 3 of my pitchers bring something different to the plate. I have a drop and screw to work with, but no rise.
Also, would it hurt you to pinch the alleys with the corners? What are the odds of it going down the lines?
