    13 yo DD internal rotation progress

    Very nice! Keep doing what she's doing in the video by mixing up the pitches and when she can hit every location at will then she will be super dominant. Most importantly, take the advice of BM, coach james, Rick Pauly and others to fine tune every last detail. Hopefully, we will see her...

    Pitching coach recommendation PLEASE PLEASE!!

    If you're anywhere near javasource (Mike) then get a hold of him. He's in NY but I can't remember the name of the town he lives in. Shoot him a PM and I'm sure he will get back to you.

    Chelsea Wilkinson

    Chelsea's spin rates are amazing. I've watched her quite a few times in the last couple years and for the most part, her speed was 58-60 so I really thought that was where she topped out but late this year I noticed her hitting 64-65 at will. I guess she's a lot like Cat and does better/feels...

    Pitcher step backward...legal?

    My DD got called for an illegal pitch a couple times this year in HS when she dropped her stride foot heel (toes still on rubber) and I knew they were saying or thinking she was taking a step rearward. I knew it was legal to take a step rearward so I knew it had to be something about when the...

    The quest for 60

    I totally agree... especially with the grandma statement! She's gonna be sorry you ever saw that 60:)

    The quest for 60

    Congrats... hopefully she can maintain it as the year goes! My DD always throws harder after a decent break and surprisingly is usually very accurate but she usually slows after she's been pitching a while.

    Update on my 10yr old

    Low and inside is a good thing for someone just learning. It's in the IR sticky threads.

    Update on my 10yr old

    Like others have stated... let her arm get longer on the way up. As long as she can get the palm up by 9 her arm/elbow will get all the bend it needs.

    10U Pitcher Looking for Feedback

    I agree with the others in that she is well on her way and especially the recommendations to not over-teach her right now. If she wants it... she will be good!

    Update on my 10yr old

    Making big gains... hopefully she will get to go to the clinic in Indiana.

    Fastpitch University

    I so hope I get the opportunity to do this as well! My DD unfortunately had to go through the "do this... no do this" trial and error phase and an overbearing dad who assumed this stuff was easy and took the fun completely out of it.

    Help me interpret this answer

    I would probably at least try to visit a lesson given by the instructor she said teaches the girls to roll their hand over (assuming she means palm down) after release as this is surely a result of IR.

    cutter from 14 yr old righty

    RB... where does your DD apply pressure on her in and out cutter for both grips she has used?

    drills?

    No disrespect to Ken and it's JMO but it looks like she is missing the whip by turning her hand over early. I really don't see her upper arm pausing at her side while her lower arm is lagging. She's close though... some pitches/angles look better than others. Stay inside the ball just a bit...

    Hawkins Magic Carpet Ride

    [/B] I don't agree that Java teaches this method. I do agree he would prefer the pivot foot to slightly rise off the ground as it slides to the left or right while transferring weight rearward but he doesn't prefer the heel/toe "rocking motion" so your statement may be a little misleading.

    If you could just have one GIF what would it be?

    Good topic... there should be some good stuff posted here.

    Hips open or closed?

    I totally agree with everything said above but I might change it to say "completely closed at release" as there are a few who go ahead and close after the release of the pitch.

    Big hitters?

    If she truly casts her hands... I'm probably throwing inside... especially if my pitcher can bring some heat.
