Question
why would a coach work so hard with a lefty pitcher and not give him a chance to pitch? Kid throws
hard has a grat lefty pick off move also, but they put a kid in that could not even reach the plate. 3 '
other coaches from other teams saw his arm and are begging for him to come play with them. I as
a mother just do not understand.

We have the same problem with our daughter in softball. Coach asked us to get
her to pitching clinics. We did. She is not great yet but she is a lefty. The coach
loves her daughters more than the rest of the team. -
As a mother of a leftie pitcher myself, you never understand what in the living daylights these coaches are doing sometimes. My son gets a good amount of play time..NOW. But last season was a different story, his coaches "friends" sons were rightys & not as goos as my son, but... sometimes friendship trumphs the better pitcher! Try & get your child on a travel team, there is usually no favoritism due to the fact that the coaches usually no none of the kids before tryouts. The kids & us tend to get a bit jaded when playing school ball with all of the "politics" that surround it, so we play travel in the summer & fall until b-ball season starts at school. It definately helps!
