Pitching and Pitchers Discussion Lack of Girls Fastpitch Softball Pitchers !

[default]

Your team can have the best pitcher but if your defense can not catch the ball it really doesn't matter how great the pitcher is. A great pitcher should be able to add to the defense and to strike out a few batters, but they need to throw to the spots. Change speed and keep the ball when hit in the infield. I feel that many coaches are looking for that one golden arm. Who Wouldn't. What they need to look for is that pitcher that adds value to their team.

With teams and kids going year round at playing softball it's seems like every kid out there has a pitching instructor.

Then why is there such a lack of talent in the circle/pitchers at most ages and so many teams looking for a #1 or even a #2 Girls Fastpitch, Pitchers, to finish rosters.

Question ) Is there a shortages of #1 and #2 pitchers ?

And if there a shortages WHY ?
