Rolando Corrales asked:

Why would a coach work so hard with a lefty pitcher and not give him a chance to pitch and put a kid in that could not even reach the plate

Pete’s answer:

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.
