12U. What I mean by this is, should you have your catcher set up outside/inside for the appropriate pitch? Or should they just stay centered and move the glove to the ball?
My DD takes her catcher to lessons, and her pitching coach has her set up with her belly button on the edge of the plate for an inside or outside pitch. Her coaches want the catcher to stay put and move her glove. I told pitching coach about this, and he disagrees. Even had me stand like a batter, and DD started her motion, and I tried to sneak a peek at the catcher. Yes, I could barley see where the catcher was set, but by then it was too late, and wouldn't have been able to hit the ball.
This could get confusing for DD. How would I remedy with her coaches?
