They can still jump early on a knee high pitch, although the transition time will be a bit longer.
Smitty,
When the knee-high pitch is 80mph and they jump up early, they usually mishandle the pitch. They ";eave the ball behind."
We learned this when we used our pitching machine to deliver the pitches when we evaluated our catcher's throws at our tryout last year.

Well if that works I'm all for it.
