Rec ball playing time question
How would you handle a kid for 10U that wants to play catcher but absolutely can’t play the position? I feel like it’s unfair to my pitchers to allow her to do this for even 1 more inning because there is no target and the game comes to a screeching halt. Half the time she wouldn’t get out of her stance to get the ball that went behind her. She’s also at risk of injury in her set up because she kneels on both knees and has her body completely vertical, leaving her quads completely exposed
I have 2 capable catchers who live doing it so I feel it’s best to let them be the only catchers for the benefit of my pitcher, the entire team, and even the other team
