Managing Youth Pitchers

21 January 2004 - 03:07 PM

Well the baseball season is fast approaching. I would like to have some thoughts and opinions on how to best manage the youth (12-14) pitcher. When they are struggling with their control do you try to let them work through it and for how long? Do you set-up certain rules so the pitcher knows ahead of time that for example after to consecutive walks you will pull him?

I know that game time situations will sometimes dictate how you handle the situation, but I am just looking for general things that you all have done that you have found to be successful in managing your pitchers.

Thanks!
