@Good Knight posted:It is getting to me also. I hate the strategy of FB thru the order once and then some CB's.
He has a slider and a killer CU but never called.
Having said that, we are 11-0 and he has 40 k's so far in 19 IP, but seems to me that if they see FB too often it is easier to hit.
Lots of HS coaches try to keep things simple. They are going to try to win with the fewest moving parts. So if nobody can hit your grandson’s FB he isn’t likely to call much of anything else. That strategy is much better for the coach than it is for your grandson’s development as a pitcher. My advice is for your guy to work on his secondary stuff between starts so it’s ready when he needs it. Coach isn’t gonna change his stripes. Choose your battles.
