My DD just turned 13 two weeks ago. She's been pitching less than a year. She's had some injury set backs that slowed her progress a bit but she has finally gotten to where she can hit the following targets more consistently with both fastball and change up: Down the middle Middle low Outside...- plustoo

Which Hillhouse Video(s)
My daughter is a beginning pitcher and I'm looking to purchase one or some of Bill Hillhouse's videos to help us along. Based on the video descriptions it seems some might repeatative or updates from previous versions. I'm looking for recommendations of which video(s) I should get. Thanks!- plustoo
