Reply to "Pitching Inside"

All I know is that youth baseball must really suck in a 100 mile radius around where I live compaired to the rest of the country. Youth pitchers around here can get somewhere in the area you want the pitch. For example an outside pitch will be anywhere from a little inside to a foot outside. A middle pitch will be from a foot outside to a foot inside. A inside pitch from slightly outside to three feet behind the batter. I haven't seen any though that could pepper the low outside corner or come in on the batters hands at will. Heck I've only seen one 12 year old that could consistantly (and by that I mean 5 out of 10 times) hit the low outside corner and he was an unhitable beast.

Hahaha sorry.

I do believe kids should be taught to try and throw inside and by try I mean call the pitch there. Then when the kid actually hits the mitt on the inside really praise it. A coach just has to accept its gonna put a few kids on and chose development over winning.
