It's a waste of time from bad unhittable pitches.... or batters watching good pitches... So, the pitcher and catchers are working their tails off, for very few hitting reps. Better to use a machine, or hire an older pitcher, to throw BP for you.Why does it waste time? One pitcher one batter, everyone else is off in other stations. 0 wasted time right? My issue with it is the pitchers hate it, otherwise I would do it every time.
The only time I would use live pitching is in a "game situation" like a 5 on 5 scrimmage, where the balls and strikes matter.
