"Be careful"

What type of pitching machine do you use? Is it an "Iron Mike"? Edgar Martinez Mariners DH in Spring Training would move the Iron Mike to 100 mph. For tracking purpose only.

I watched Ichiro actual swing at the pitch. He had exceptional "eye to hand" coordination.

You can do more harm than good with your HS players. You would be wise to "slow the ball down" in the hitters eyes to develop situational hitters.

We have recently completed our 33rd International Goodwill Series journey and one weakness was "slowing the ball" in the hitters mind.
