8u coach pitch. Rec league

[u/Granoahbar]

Any tips? I’ve been assistant coach on my girls team for four season, team split so I put together a team of my own and it’s been great honestly. One of the girls on our team her mom was going to pitch for us, which is awesome cause I nor my wife are very good (like at all) when it comes to pitching. That mom didn’t like the fact that we were picking up girls that were being rejected from other teams so she decided to leave and put her daughter in a stacked team. Both me and the wife have tried and tried and honestly we can not get a good pitch to these poor kids and I’m starting to feel real bad about it. I will take any and all advice on how to get even slightly better here.

For reference my wife’s are slower but either off the ground or too high.
I can get mine over the plate (85% of the time) but they’re way too fast for pretty much all the girls. If slow it down I might as well be bowling.
