I am trying to figure out the best way to teach 1st year 10U & 2nd year 10U girls to hit off a pitcher. Is it better to have them hit off a pitching machine or a live pitcher? And if the best answer is a live pitcher, should it be a pitcher off your team or a pitcher from elsewhere? The more coaches I have asked, the more debated the topic seems to become. Tell me what you all think.
