    Farish Beard speed?

    Does anyone know how fast she throws? SEC Network had her around 59 mph for the one inning I was able to watch. pretty impressive numbers for not having overwhelming speed if the radar was right.

    Backdoor Curve Help

    Thanks for the responses! We are going to try moving the plate. I don't mind a very small repositioning of the front foot she was originally taught a huge step over with the curve which we got rid of after watching Cat throw hers. She has thrown a few in games more by accident I think that were...

    Backdoor Curve Help

    We want her to throw so it looks like it's going to hit a right hander than breaks across the inside of the plate for a called strike hopefully.

    Backdoor Curve Help

    My 15 year old right hand daughter has a pretty decent curve she's wanting to throw the backdoor. Does she need to change her foot position or what to make it come towards a right hand batter?

    Low Rise for a Strike?

My daughter has a mid 50s fast ball, nice peel drop, 2 decent change ups 1 which she uses she as an offspeed. No rise ball yet we have just started that. Should we even mess with teaching a curve or...
