Progress ?? I think So :)

What Ya think Guys and or ladies

I think she definitely has made progress. One thing I noticed (but am not sure cause of the lighting) is that she seems to have the ball facing toward the back at the top of the circle. At the top of the circle, the ball should be facing forward, then come down the back side of the circle facing up

I see it to just does it in drills its not in her pitching motion I believe it is just because how far she has the arm bent over her head she does not have that much bend in her pitching motion either about half of it

right now she is playing with turning the ball up at 9 slightly after her arm flows better that way for some reason Trying a couple different little tweaks in it at the moment to be honest

Just for own edification, does she know how to use the vacuum cleaner? My kids didn't learn until they were 26.

Dmaegan,

MandM is right. Her hand is UNDER the ball from show-it position... her hand NEEDS to be on top of the ball. Remember, these are progressions... or a part of the whole. If she learns that position, she'll have far too much rotation over-top... and will end up disengaging the FLEXORS... and engaging the EXTENSORS (losing the loaded bend).



Two other notes...

1) Have her start EVERY throw by dropping her hands to her sides. Let them fall as they will... relaxed. Then have her supinate her hand (turn ball outward) to start... and then move the ball back while externally rotating.

Drop Hands.
Supinate Wrist/forearm (ball).
Backchain arm while externally rotating.

2) When she's taking the ball back... she's taking it back behind her body. Have her take the ball UP the back of the circle SO THAT THE BALL CAN SEE THE TARGET the entire time.

On the plus side... she looks great! Just make sure you read the instructions before assembling.

Both arms need to be involved in the drill. Ball up, Glove up as well (Rick Pauly). If you're going to go to 12 with the ball she'll need her glove at least to 10. Just to jump on what Java mentioned, I can see feet positioning is at 45 degree angle to the catcher (good), so the ball should always be in view of the catcher, check that because I'm pretty sure it's disappearing behind her. This will become ever so important as she ramps up power and whip. She's got the most difficult part to learn down, that is rotation of the forearm as the bicep is stabilized against her rib cage. Good job.

Definitely making progress. Is she pitching in the house?!?!

yes she is in the house that's why she is not using legs or to much else for that matter
