Unhappy You don't need an analysis 9 and 10?

Puuleeze, tell me that you were
JOKING
when you said you didn't give the pitchers strikes OFF the plate?

At that level of kid pitch, you don't need all the analysis. The kids CAN hit it, Grandma WANTS to see them hit it, the fields WANT the ball hit, the batter WANTS to run around the bases... so get them swinging... EARLY.

The best litmus test is... "Is this pitch hittable?" (Speed dependant). It sounds like these players start up looking at pitches. (too bad).. so start EARLY call strikes EARLY....trust me, they will start to swing.

I'm not talking about unhittable pitches or in the eyes.. BUT.. (9 and 10 fercryinoutloud)... armpits to low knees to black on inside... a couple ball widths outside ..is HITTABLE, so why not let them hit?
