Tips for translating tee swing to coach pitch
My daughter (8u) just finished her first year of coach pitch. She was a good tee ball hitter, but had a bad casting issue. She does weekly hitting lessons and drills at home, along with her travel ball team practices. She loves to practice and get better. I'm having issues getting her swing to translate from tee work to coach pitch. Her swing off of a tee is great--hands straight to the ball and extending through contact. My issue is that when she gets pitched to--the casting comes back immediately. It's like she completely loses her mind when she steps in the batters box. I'm considering pulling back on the tee work and start wiffle ball soft toss to try to get her to work on swinging correctly while watching the pitch. Anyone else have this issue with their youth players? Looking for ways to help her, as I am no expert. Thanks!
