Anyone here know how they pitch to 2nd graders (8 yrs old) in the Oak Park Little League? I swear I've driven through after work and seen them using electric JUGS-type machines but I'm not sure. We're having a minor controversy here in Glen Ellyn. We're forced to use these manual machines with a spring-loaded arm that nobody seems to like. |

They may use them for a bit in T ball. There is also a time when coaches pitch. Age nine the kids start pitching. I skipped all the T ball crap. Good for my sanity but likely not his baseball future. |

My son is in first grade and they are using a pitching machine. It's like the football machine, not the one with a spring loaded arm. He's in Cal Ripken though, not Little League. |

Lots of towns have the kid pitch until ball four. Then the coach (batter's team coach) comes in and pitches--I think the count goes 2-1 when the coach comes in to keep things moving along. Coach pitches from one knee. |

When I lived in Ottumwa Iowa and coached my daughter when she was 6-8 we used the machines. Bad move. They get used to the ball coming a certain way from the machine and cannot anticipate different pitches and angles from a live arm. Took my daughter time to adjust to live pitching. She is a freshman in HS now and hits .300 but always tells me that machine messed with her timing. |
