Our starting 9 are all mechanically sound. 4 going on to college. I've seen a lot of kids that are "hitters", but struggle with slow pitching. The whole reason to be on plane is in case your timing is off a hair. With arced pitches, you have to be puntual to the ball. Being on plane doesn't help much. I almost want to tell them to top it so they wait for the ball to come off the arc a little.

I kept this varsity team together last year for travel and all we saw was good pitching, now at the high school level we don't have that 80+ fb everyday. The kid that thru 88 just came off his last game of 19 Ks, but we slugged 10 hits off of him.
