Hi Folks,
One my DD's Coaches thinks that Slap Hitting is a waste. Whenever I mention slap hitting to him he gets a bit agitated and starts spurting negative comments, trying to discourage me from looking into this. He says things such as "hitters don't need to slap hit" and he won't even consider the positive aspects.
I see and hear that Slapping is a big part of the game - but I think I'm working with a dinosaur that is unable to see the importance and value of being a ball player that can effectively slap hit where needed.
Help me out here. Is he right? Is slapping not worth the time when you can hit? Do recruiters and college coaches care about having slap hitters? I need some good ammunition to shoot back at the Anti-Slap Hitting Coach.
Thanks in advance!
