My 12 yr old DD will be eligible for the 1st time to play school ball at the 7th grade level. She has a on avg 54-56 mph fast ball with a change,drop,and curve. I have always given the signs feeling this is the coaches job as my knowledge will be greater knowing what the batter did her last at bat and being able to evaluate by situation, batter stance etc. Apparently she is now to call her own game. I feel the pitcher should be worried about pitching and not stress what to call and evaluate each batter. Apparently this practice goes on right through High School and was told this is a skill she needs to develop. Is this the norm where I should have been developing this skill set in her? What do your schools do?
