And this is an issue.
We are teaching kids that velo/overpowering is more important than locating and actually pitching.
velo is more important sorry but it is
want to know why so many kids quit baseball after 12 when it moves to the big field???
because they are completely unprepared for the demands because people like you say....oh just have fun and learn to just throw strikes or just put the ball in play and the kids never train to improve their arm strength or their bat speed and suddenly.....they cant throw the ball from 3rd to first and they cant hit it out the infeild
they step on the mound and they are 13 throwing 65 poo right down the middle that kids are treating like BP and crushing.
what your suggesting is a sure fire way to be out the game before high school....but hey they didnt get hurt though.
just like the kids that are juniors in HS and going to a showcase to get up there and throw 78 poo right down the middle.
sorry you dont think velo is important and sorry you are wrong...but you are and quicker you accept that better off you will be
now go ahead and bring up maddox so i can tell you he has even admitted that velo got him his shot because he was throwing 96/97 in high school.
