Specifically having watched head coaches of D1 programs using front toss and full pitching motion throwing to hitters (through the hitting portion of camps, they themselves throwing) absolutely know 100% that they are not just throwing piped meat pitches that whole time.
They are evaluating all sorts of things the Batters are doing. Not just having the expectation that everything's going to be 100% tubed down the middle.
I'm sharing this not with intent to push back on you coach jd.
Rather to express to folks to understand that
When hitting at camps
yes there are times when you have to show having a good eye and other times you need to rip the ball and sometimes there's batting moments where you make an adjustment to make contact.
All part of assessment!
