DD was taught the smack her fist into her mitt during the delivery, to distract the batter.
Words cannot describe how much I hate that. Our 18u DD who has playing for 11 years says that it doesn’t distract her at all, nor does it distract any of her teammates. The only people it affects are people like me, I guess. People who are annoyed by all the extra effort spent beating on a mitt for a purpose that doesn’t achieve its original intent.
