kslim what age and what level are you guys (rec league, competitive league, tournament team)
8-10 year olds, rec league
This is a fun level and pretty easy to dominate
skill areas to focus on
1 need 2-3 pitchers that can stride at their target and throw a pitch that the catcher can catch consistently, passed balls are a killer. Anything remotely over the plate from the knees to the MOUF will work here.
need 1 catcher that can keep pitches from getting to the backstop, arm doesn't matter, he isnt going to throw out baserunners yet anyway.
pitch selection at the plate, swinging at strikes and taking balls is HUGE, your team is at a huge disadvantage if they don't understand this, there are literally a million reasons why.
when you get a runner on first, always without fail have him steal 2nd on the first pitch and the hitter MUST take that pitch.
runner on 3rd passed ball, read the situation, strikeout pitcher on the mound weak hitter at the plate be agressive, weak pitcher top of the order up, don't run yourself out of the inning.
