When we played the Korean National team. When a player struck out with runners on the base, the coaches removed the player from the game.

Next games he made hits and no strikeouts. I used the same philosophy 

when I coached in College. It worked!

I’m not big on punishment for play, but there are a few instances where while it might hurt the individual in the short term, it’s better for him and the team in the long term. As long as the boundaries are set and everyone understands them, I don’t have problems with it.

Yours is a good example, but to be honest I like to see things like that tracked to see if they’re a common occurrence or an anomaly. Please see attachment.

I really wouldn’t worry too much about a kid like the one only striking out 8.7% of the time WRO. But I’d sure watch the ones who K’d more than 40% of the time WRO.
