1) Kids need to practice to become a good pitcher.
A Solution: Educate parents and coaches about this requirement. You would be surprised about how many people have never been good at anything and hence have no idea about this requirement…
2) Young kids need room to grow, without fear of failure, in order to be a good pitcher
A Solution: Educate parents and coaches that W/L , ERA, WHIP, etc don’t mean sh*% at 10 YO
3) Kids need to learn to love to pitch to be a good pitcher.
A Solution: See 1 and 2 since being good is more fun than sucking and softball is a lot more fun at a young age without the pressure of performing.
4) A kid needs to have some ability to be a good pitcher.
A Solution: make softball more accessible to the masses (how many 6’ point guards in P5 basketball would make great softball players…)
5) Most pitchers need good instruction to be a good pitcher.
The Solution: read DFP
