Just explaining rec ball was more difficult to be a hitter than any of these travel games we do.

That’s actually a good point. The pitching is not as good, but it’s heck of development having to hit from 46 ft mound.

The game changes pretty dramatically at 60-90. 46-60 is a disservice to 12yr old fielders and pitchers, but great for hitters.

Truth hurts. Im honest. Did the same thing , with a twist.
Not at all being abrasive, its just basic reality because colleges aren't aggressive for hs athletes right now. Portal killed that in baseball.

Good luck

few other points about this 46 ft pitching nonsense.

Kids needing to wait on balls and letting travel is just as important when they transition to jv/varisty levels of play as is needing to catch up to a few that have more exceptional velo.

Also, 46 ft, you are not seeing the movement pitches like you are needing to adjust to seeing and hitting and protecting plate on such pitches.
