• Girl pitch! Yes, even at 8 years old. This starts girls pitching even sooner. This seems to better align with the goals of most programs, developing pitchers.
• No walks. If a 4th ball is thrown, the offensive coach comes in for up to 3 pitches. After that, the batter is out.
• Current strike count stands if/when coach comes in
• 3 strikes is still an out at any time
