Agree with your point about it has to be learned to be successful IEBSBL. In my experience in youth ball, its not that the coaches do not teach it for fear of hitting a batter or leaving one over the plate, but rather the coaches do not put in the side work with their pitchers to work on command, control, and the mental piece. In the end it comes down to the command and guts of the pitcher. It takes time to develop this IMO.
