My 14 yo DD primarily throws a change, drop, drop-curve. She can throw a curve and she is working on getting the rise ball spin correct. I think she will need to increase her velocity to make her rise effective.
We rarely practice her screwball except for when we go to pitching lesson. In the past when she practices throwing a screwball it seems to just throw everything else off. She is a RHP. To go inside on a RHB she will throw an inside drop.
So far she has lived on the three pitches and done fine, even in 16u showcase tournaments. So here are a few questions I have and thanks for your time.
1) At what point did you narrow the types of pitches your daughter throws?
2) If you have 2-3 primary pitches did you only practice those or did you do something like 70% practice on primary 30% on secondary?
3) Is it okay to have the mindset that DD doesn't throw "X" pitch well and we are not going to fool with it?
4) Maybe it is the type of screwball she is throwing? I have seen Boardmember and someone else show some other type of screwball.
I feel like it is time to start narrowing the focus and moving towards "perfecting" certain pitches. Thanks!
