HIGH SCHOOL & YOUTH LEAGUES

PHASE I.  WEAK PITCHING, WALKING AND STEALING

PHASE II.  HITTERS TAKE OVER BECAUSE PITCHERS THROW ONLY FASTBALLS FOR STRIKES

PHASE III.  PITCHERS DOMINATE BECAUSE OF WORKING ALL YEAR. MANY STRIKEOUTS DUE TOO THROWING PITCHES AND STRATEGY.

PHASE IV.  BATTERS START WORKING HARDER, COACHES START BECOMING MORE INVOLVED IN PITCHING, HITTING, AND STRATEGY OF THE GAME.

PHASE V.  GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN PITCHING AND HITTING.
