Looking for some advice from the rest of you about my 14 year old DD. She is a lefty who hits pretty well and is also an aspiring pitcher. She takes lessons for both and works at both on her own. Hitting lessons have stopped for the time being while focusing more on the pitching lessons. She does pretty well at both, but more advanced as a hitter since she has only really worked on pitching for a year. I believe she has the potential to be pretty good at both. I also know she may never achieve her maximum potential at either while trying to do both. My question is should we be focusing more on one instead of trying to do both at a high level? Finding time and sometimes motivation to put in the required effort to do both can be tough.
She really wants to do do both, I just worry she could really be limiting herself by not focusing more on one or the other. If she continues to pitch we will still work on hitting, just maybe not to the level she currently is. A long way down the road, but are lefty pitchers or good lefty hitters more sought after by colleges? I know both are in demand, but is one prefered over the other? I'm sure we will continue to do both, but worry We may be hurting her future by not striving to be very good at one thing as opposed to pretty good at two things.
