Some of the best games that I have had the pleasure of watching my dd pitch were games where she didn't bring her changeup out until the 4th, 5th or even 6th innings. My dd moves the ball well from inside to outside and up to down. She has always had success getting 0-2 or 1-2 counts on batters and then throwing crappy pitches out of the strike zone in order to set up her go to or strikeout pitch. In the later innings of the game, she will lead out with a changeup, which no one is talking about in the dugout, and will catch the aggressive batters off guard that are trying not to get behind in the count. Most of her 4 and 5 pitch innings come during the second or third time through the batting order, where effective changeups cause weak grounders or lazy pop ups.
