This was supposed to be a hitting video...but I got mesmerized by the coach calling pitches. This is an example of the insanity of 12U softball...watch the coach calling pitches for a pitcher who doesn't have any.
The pitcher can't hit her spots and doesn't have any pitches.. No big deal...she is a normal 12U pitcher. She'll get much better.
What should the coach do? LEAVE THE KID ALONE AND LET HER PITCH. Maybe remind the kid to try to hit the corners every once in a while.
But, the coach has a bucket. So, of course, the coach has to do something. He calls fastball after fastball, occasionally indicating inside or outside.
The batter can't touch the fastball. Naturally, the coach calls a breaking pitch, which comes in at 40MPH, and the batter rips it into right center..
