The next one will likely be low and away. But also keep an eye out for "in your ear".

Firmly agree. Just stand closer to put a little zip on the ball.

If needed, get something to stand behind, but honestly the kiddo won't hit it that hard.

You also need to stand far enough away so they can track the ball.

Many people stand way to close when pitching to a small child

If they take you deep on one make sure you hit them with the next pitch. No time like the present to learn that actions have consequences.

Have you seen how many grown adults that can't make it to home plate from the pitchers mound?
