Reward and praise pitchers as much as possible and never criticize them for giving up hits. If the pitcher is throwing strikes, and if the batter gets a hit, you have to live with it. You can question the pitcher on why did he throw that pitch and what made him think it would be successful or did he execute the pitch.
