At the 12u level, should coaches be using batting strategy such taking pitches on a 2-0 or 3-0 count or is best to let them go up and concentrate on swinging the bat?
Not sure if this is what you're asking, but if a 12U batter is just going up and concentrating on swinging the bat and not treating 3-1 different than 1-2, then that's a significant weakness in her game.
This is where I would disagree when it is my dd. She hasnt been working with her batting coach for the last 2 1/2 years working on her swing ,to just give up because she has 2 strikes.I agree , Sparky Guy, 100%. My dd plays 12u travel ball and i see some of the girls with 2 strikes, still swinging for the big hit. Instead of maybe choking up a little and putting the bat on the ball and letting the defense make a play.
