Ok so we are drafting today for our 10U rec league. Defensively and offensively, I'm confident we will dominate given the girls I'm returning and adding in a few more. It's the pitching I'm worried about.
So here is my question:
My two pitchers had been going to the same coach. His philosophy was, explode off the mound and throw hard and fast, he will work on the accuracy all along the way and it will follow. Not a bad plan if you have time and aren't under pressure to pitch in games immediately.
Other coaches I've talked to, say slow down and throw strikes. Get your mechanics right and then we will speed it up. This seems to make more sense during season as we are entering now.
I don't have an ace pitcher right now. We are just making the jump to 10U. I'm pretty sure my girls could slow down and throw twice the number of strikes, but is that wise?
