coach pitch
Adult throws, kids bat
Coach pitch is a form of youth baseball where a coach or parent throws pitches to batters instead of child pitchers.
It serves as a transitional level between tee ball and kid-pitch leagues, allowing young players to practice hitting live pitches without the wildness of same-age pitching: My son just moved up from tee ball to coach pitch.
