My daughter pitching in 10u did not like pitching inside at batters. But we were playing a bigger tournament against a much better team. A buddy of mine told me this particular team could not hit inside pitches and to hammer it until they backed off. She was nervous and I told her that the only shot we had was to take a chance. If you hit several it will not matter as they would get hits. She had seen this team beat other teams better then us all the time and she hates loosing more then winning. She hit two but backed them off the plate and then could pitch to both sides. We lost by 1 run but that showed her how important the inside pitch could be. A few years later and she loves when teams try to squeeze her. She loves watching them jump out and get ringed up for a strike.

If the have good control in practice it’s just mental and take the pressure off and if a few kids get hit they will heal or get out of the way.
