3 is too few, 4 is too many.
This is so true! This summer our pitchers did not want to pitch to our 4th string pitchers. Her receiving was not very good. She would make strikes balls and moved her glove around to much. We had to video her doing it so that she would understand the issue. I still don't think she gets it.As a dad of a pitcher, having a pitching staff of 3 to 4 is awesome - but having a quality catcher is worth their weight in gold!
What tourneys are y'all playing in? We are just finishing up with Tryouts in the Texas area and most likely won't start playing any round robins for several weeks. More like 3 weeks.I think it depends on the caliber of the pitchers and their endurance. The team my DD is on now is a pretty high level 18u team. I'd say they have 3, but in reality it's two. The third only sees pitching time when we're blowing out a team in bracket play. This past weekend, she pitched none and we rolled over every team in the tournament. The #2 has a ton of endurance. I swear she can pitch all day long. I don't know what the #3's goals are. She's a coach's kid and sees plenty of playing time, just not as a pitcher.
