Likely on purpose. Catcher hits batter in head.

Concerning Video Shows HS Softball Catcher Pelting Hitters In The Head With The Ball: ‘Is She Doing It On Purpose?’

Looks pretty intentional to me. Not the way the game should be played.

I would have seriously consider tossing the catcher and head coach if I had gotten a clear view of it happening right in front of me.

 

[Rolling Hard]

The guy who coached this behavior is also the football coach and the AD. Probably shouldn't be allowed around kids.

Not likely on purpose definitely on purpose. One time she wasn't even throwing toward the bag just the player

 

[Agcy]

For sure, you could call a ball on the pitcher for throwing to a base that didn't have a runner at it.

 

[The Man In Blue]

Agreed there is no “likely.” R2 never even gave an appearance of going in the video I could see.

Auto EJ. And if the coach wants to “try to defend” it, he can go too.

 

[Tatonka]

Definitely toss that kid and one word from the Coach they would be gone also.

 

[GunnerShotgun]

It happened twice? Why didn't the opposing coach pull his team off the field?

 

[Cougars]

Article says it happened twice in a previous playoff game too. It's obviously a coached "play".
