Would like some different idea's about how to handle hitting slower pitching. It seems to always happen we have a good game hitting the ball and then next game there is a pitcher on the rubber throwing about 45 mph (14u girls) and everyone is out front hitting the ball off the end of the bat, soft infield pop ups, all coming from being so far out in front. Currently when this happens I instruct girls to wait longer to load ie. let the ball be half way to home plate before loading and try to hit a line drive to right center field. Trying to get them to let the ball get deaper into the hitting zone then explode on it but still have trouble.
Curious to here if other teams have this same problem and how you adjust ? We hit the faster pitching (mid 50's great) but look foolish with slower pitching.
