Getting an off the plate/outside strike

[daywalkerdad]

Is it low and outside then up and in?

My daughter has been catching a lot the last few weeks and finally pitched again today. First time pitching 43ft. Again we had the same issues with the outside strike. She was all the way on the edge of the rubber and still going too far left. This pitch was called a strike but I'm wondering if how she is flipping her hand outward at the end is causing it to tail out more left? There are many more things I am sure to fix but working on this issue right now. Would a finish of some sort help? How do you finish without doing hello elbow?

What kind of spin does that pitch have? She could be 'losing' the ball between the index finger and the thumb, it kind of slips out, with bullet spin. If that's the case having her focus on throwing top spin could be a fix.

Maybe you had this ump. I bet he can't see the "River". We had this guy for two games on Saturday the 18th.

At that point he would be better off standing behind the pitcher. Amazing what you can see on any given weekend.

Meant to get some video tonight to see her spin but she threw a no hitter and I forgot all about it. Her coach told her when she was warming up that she was turning her hand over before she was snapping. I guess she fixed that and had none of those just barely off pitches. Any balls she had were clear miss pitches.

You really need to take a video from the back and side. I think she has a flaw in her upper body position at release, but it's hard to tell from the video.
