Pitcher Defensive Stance
yeah definitely encouraging thing with the new instructor. DD typically has pretty good command even before this small change. im finding she occasionally isn't getting the hips near that 45ish sweet spot and throws a bit across her body with a slight decrease in speed. But it's not too bad...- Watershed

Pitcher Defensive Stance
My DD new pitching instructor wants her to maintain her release stance, hips at about 45 degrees on finish, after release and not square up into defensive stance. Any advantage to this? She had three errors in the circle this weekend which is atypical. Her coaches have expressed they want...- Watershed

Anchor for a Drive Leg
Still working out some kinks in DDs drive mechanics. Looking for a cue or advice to help my DD reinforce taking that anchor of a drive leg through with her on a pitch. Looking at the videos in slo-mo, her bend at waist towards third coincidences with the drive foot digging in hard right around...- Watershed

Pitching Mechanics- Practice vs Game
At another hurdle that I've been unable to help my DD get past so far. Basically, I've got two different pitchers, the one I see when her and I practice and the one that comes out on game day. In game situations she lacks explosion off the plate and short-steps her stride. Gets away with it...- Watershed

Diagnosing Lean towards 3rd
Thanks JS. Now that we know the blow through is happening we'll work on firming up that front side even harder. I teased her about having a concrete shoe on her drive foot. Really happy on how this drill is starting to work that lean out towards third. Less bend in waist and hind end...- Watershed

Diagnosing Lean towards 3rd
Ok. Tonight's was second attempt at two-step drill. First time, a few days ago, without pitchers plate = gym step. Oops. Did some dry runs today without the ball for about 30-min. The last dozen or so were pretty similar to this video. Most of the pitches had a carry through step after...- Watershed

Diagnosing Lean towards 3rd
Last night we were able to get some work in on the stride board as recommended. The lean towards third does appear to be less pronounced. We'll keep incorporating in practice for a while. One downside is that it resulted in a shortening in stride. Overlapping sequences were off a bit with...- Watershed

Protective mask for pitching?
Comfort and good peripheral vision. If it doesn't provide those they are less apt to use them. Sweet sun shield on the mask above. DD sport glasses always fogging up. Nice alternative.- Watershed
