I would like to show this video to someone who has been taught hello elbow. The response might be, ''They must not be throwing fastballs.'' How would you respond to that? (btw, DD does not pitch, and I know not pitching. I just like to argue w/ people and want to be sufficiently armed.)

Wow - I just identified a pitcher on that list that we are very familiar with that convinces me that my DD has the talent to be on that video. That's good enough for me just knowing that.
I expect you're familiar with the WI pitcher that's playing for Rico's Firecrackers. She pitched 2 televised games in CO, the midweek national power match-up and the championship final. Both games were against Texas Glory Shelton - FC won the first and Glory won the championship.

The championship game can be viewed here - Watch TCS.

Not impressed with what I saw on video. Maybe live would be better to judge, but on video, sorry don't see what the big deal is with these pitchers?
What your going to hear from these kids coaches the first time they do live pitching to their team mates and after their release looks like they are trying out for the dodge ball team...... Welcome to Division 1 softball. These young ladies have a ways to go to be effective against hitters 4 years their senior at the D1 level.

I'm kind of partial to this listed player and her coach. :) Weekly lessons in Lawrence KS and weekends in CA.

Not sure what Gasso is giving all these girls but she will have a stable of pitchers in the next few years. 2- 14's, 2- 15's, and 3- 16's. She usually throws her ace 80%, Gascoigne was the exception. Not sure why so many would be willing to go to OU knowing this. Guess we'll see how it pans out.

^ Right. Smooth would not define the girls in the video. Maybe we are getting away from pitchers and are creating more chuckers, than anything. Osterman is so refined that she always reminds me of a great big spider.

Osterman..... "big spider"..... LOVE IT!!!
