Subject: Question about Youth Pitching

Hello All,
I have a question concerning live pitching at the minor league level - ages 7-10. My son is 7 years old and last year he played in the underhand league. This year, the 7 year olds had to move up to minor league. In the years past, a pitching machine was used here up to about 3 years ago. This is the first year for 7 year olds playing in monors. Anyway, I had my reservations. My son did ok in the underhand league, but was not sure about him facing live pitching. I played baseball all my life and I do not know if I agree with live pitching at this age or not. The games are long, low innings. There are a lot of walks, hit batsmen and strike-outs.
Do people think their should be live pitching at this age. I guess the board says they are doing to in order to develope pitchers for little league. Would love to hear some input as well as any web sites that may help on the topic.

Thanks
Kyle
