Coach! I really want to pitch! I think I would be quite good at it and I think it would be oh so fun.

Elizabeth, I would love for you to pitch but you have to show me in practice first!

Coach, I pitched in practice on Wednesday! I would like to pitch in our game today!

Elizabeth, I am so glad you started learning to pitch in practice but you have to practice at home too!

Coach, I would really like to pitch today. I have been running really hard in practice and I want to try in a game!

Elizabeth, I think it's fantastic you are running so hard but you still have to practice pitching. It takes a lot to learn and I want you to take your time!

Coach, I have been taking my time and my arm is getting really, really strong! Can I pitch today?

Elizabeth, your throwing arm is very strong now! You make a great third baseman but you still have to practice your pitching warm ups every day!
