Coach H,
I presume you are doing fall ball games?
Was talking to a 22 yr old type of the weekend who is coaching some fall ball locally and he was talking about winning games etc etc.
I had a little talk with him that winning fall ball games is the least important aspect of the game, and he couldnt really understand.
I coached one fall, followed it for a couple years prior to see if I wanted to do it when games were local. I feel that fall ball is being severely misused in sooooo many areas and it is ashamed.
Kids need to work on their deficiencies, first and foremost. A few I always tell about is a kid who HS coach wanted him to work on his change. So 33% of his pitches has to be a C, sometimes we even did every other pitch.
Kid with great speed, but TERRIBLE jumps. Got on base...stole. no matter the situation.
