Pitchers need to learn to focus on something other than the catchers glove because when they get older the glove won’t be there. When throwing with Dad it’s fine to move the glove around. They should be practicing with a catcher too and simulate game conditions.
I like a plate for practicing because you get immediate feedback. Any throwing is bound to help, but location is so critical I’d always want it as part of the focus. (Learned the hard way). You’d think eventually they’d throw enough pitches where it becomes automatic knowing where the plate is. Differing strike zones by level and by umpire make it ever changing though.
