I don't understand why we don't see more of this! It seems natural and common sense to teach the kids one technique- and we all know when the kids eventually play at the high school level they'll have a tremendous advantage with men on base.
It's easier for the kids to keep their balance.
Teaching the kids to pitch from the stretch seems to work because of the following reasons: The reason I took this approach is the result of seeing the lack of control of both the windup and the pitch using the conventional windup. I'm a youth baseball coach for 7 to 9 year olds and have introduced this technique for the first time this year. Do you think kids should be taught to pitch from the stretch instead of the windup?
