i was wondering if college coaches had the same philosophy when you played....my son's jr. college coach (and by the way, my son is not playing; he tore his acl)instructs the players to crowd the plate (6 to 12 inches from plate) & if possible, get hit by the pitch.....other coaches in the league do the same, and it seems like this makes the pitchers that much more afraid to pitch inside.....your experiences?......respectfully, grc.....
