Who is calling the pitches? If it is the coach your DS should tell him to not call such a good game (I am kidding..kind of).

It's sad that this is so much a thing.Sounds like the coach just needing something to say.
The pitchers job is to miss the barrel, weak contact. Harder to do vs good hitting teams. Maybe this was against a weak hitting team and the coach is trying to season her for the better hitting teams?
< 20 pitches per inning is not a question of efficiency
Were there a lot of foul balls with 2 strikes on the batter ? Was 18 the total number of pitches thrown or the total number of pitches recorded in the book as a ball or a strike ?
Eighteen total pitches thrown, 15 for strikes which included foul balls and the ball put in play (non-parent coach does GC).
80% strikes is too high in most circumstances, IMO. Pitchers need to be able to throw off the plate and create foul balls, weak contact or swing and misses.So if a pitcher is throwing over 80% strikes, what else can they do to make it so they “pitch to contact?” If the batters are swinging and missing or fouling pitches off that are in the zone what should change? I’m trying to just understand better.
