By Rob Tong | July 31, 2019 Leave a Comment

With more questions being submitted than weeks to answer them, a fairly healthy backlog of Question Of The Week submissions were going unanswered. In an effort to clear out the queue, Rob Tong devotes this entire episode to answering several Question Of The Week submissions and hopefully you can gain something practical & actionable from the answers.

In this 37-minute episode, you'll learn:

  • how to help a 9-year-old having problems handling inside pitches [5:55]
  • what 4-13 year old kids in the Dominican Republic do for training [9:07]
  • how to balance promoting pitch recognition with being aggressive at the plate [17:01]
  • whether errors should be recorded at the 9-12 year old level [20:34]
  • whether it's a problem if your kid throws from the 3:00 position [25:42]
  • what key traits distinguish a 10U tournament team from the rest of the field [27:58]
  • how to keep bench players engaged [31:54]
