    Swing Feedback for DD

  2. 2

    Increasing speed and/or stamina

    For my DD, she does distance throws of 5 balls each at 10 feet increments, starting from the mound and moving back 30 feet. Then goes through her regular workouts. At the end, she will do speed drills where she has to throw a certain number of pitches within an amount of time. Then on off...

    Daughter's TB Program

    I think this is fantastic. I wish I could find all the resources to do the same out here in So. Cal. So many teams start-up and then just fall by the way side. Having 2dds in the young age group (10s and 12s) would be perfect to do something like that. However, everyone wants a little $$$ in...

    Swinging at first pitch vs working the count

    Do it the Billy Beane way, work the count to your advantage. If your pitch is the first one you see, crush it.

    How many bases do they get.

    Bases loaded, catcher throws to third, all runners are going back to bases. Ball bounces off player and goes out of play. How many bases do each player get. I am thinking on one. 3rd base gets home, 2nd gets 3rd and 1st gets second. Ump at game, gave 3rd base home, 2nd base home and 1st base...

    Calling pitches - by the parents?

    Being a coach and parent. I have actually picked the coaches signs when and have told my daughters, if I call certain numbers, that is the pitch to look for. I will not yell out, (inside, outside, change, etc...), I just give them the number. Does it help, you never can tell because, if the...

    How to handle...

    Sounds a lot like a coach that I know. He even pulled his daughter after she didn't catch a throw at first, on the first batter of the game. Are you in So. Cal.

    12 YO DD (and Mom) thinking we may need to reevaluate.

    DD was bored and needed more of a challenge and the league would not let her play up.

    Is this a legal pitching motion

    Please try and visualize this: Pitcher on the mound, both feet. Pitcher goes into deliverly, raises right foot and leg up (right handed pitcher), continues delivery motion, pounds leg and foot back onto mound and finishes with normal delivery of pushing off with right foot and drive.

    I want to scream when....

    You mean to tell me that she doesn't tell your DD to be an effective pitcher, you have to throw 55+. That someone actually tells that movement can be used just as effective as speed. I have told people that all the time, but, of course, you get the coaches, that will want a girl that can chuck...

    Need a little technical help with DD

    As long as she is rolling the wrists/hands after contact, then she is doing fine.

    Rec season in hell

    I have never experienced this bad a rec season. My outfielders are my weaknees. No matter how much we practice catching the ball, fielding ground balls to them to get the angle, stopping the ball in front of them, hitting the cutoff, or even moving to the ball to stop it from going behind...

    Pitcher Re-enter

    The starting pitcher, was pulled and replaced, by the 1st baseman. Starting pitcher, is now playing 1st base. Starting pitcher comes back to pitch, and pitcher goes back to first. Then starting pitcher is replaced again by first baseman. Is that legal? Though neither player left the field...

    DD having trouble pulling the triger

    We spoke to her hitting coach about this last night and she hit everything that was thrown at her. She does machine and live pitching with her coach. We did ask, why don't you do that in the game and she said, the coach talks too much. Just as I had thought all along and some of the other...
