I appreciate the feedback, agree 100%

For the record, a lot of us (self included) don't toss anything back. I hand the ball to the catcher.

Many years ago, just starting out, I had situation where I had pitcher looking straight at me and when I tossed ball back he lost it in sun and took a shot right in middle of chest. I didn't throw it very hard and he wasn't hurt but I felt terrible and have not tossed back since. Lesson learned.

I had a partner hit a kid in the cup. I'd never done it since then and don't do it now, unless it's a soft toss from a few feet away (usually after the catcher takes a hard shot).

I was taught no tossbacks and I still have the accuracy of Greg Maddux!
