This is a video I took Saturday at practice, it is against a live hitter. Things I notice are: not getting into a good sprinters posture-more of a reach, landing with her lead foot closed and then opening it up and she seems to stop her throwing arm a little short. I think she is stopping the arm in an effort to get ready for the ball being hit back at her. She doesn't have great brush or IR yet but we just started with lessons at the end of November, I think she is progressing pretty well. What else stands out? Any cues to help with the foot landing closed or is it really a problem? I feel like it is putting a strain on her knee but she says it doesn't bother her. Her speed is not great yet, her PC clocked her at 36/37 in December and 38/39 2 weeks ago. I'm not worried about speed so much, she is really doing well at hitting spots and her change up is coming along nicely. Her change up was coming in at 8-10 slower than her fastball. We try and work at home as much as possible since she only goes to PC once a week. PC had her start working drop ball recently and she does it ok but I really just want to focus on fast/change up and control of those 2 pitches. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Skip ahead to about the 20 sec. mark, I didn't mean to post the slo mo video.
