First let me say I love reading this board. I was my high school baseball teams pitching coach the last to years, and my daughter (DD what does that stand for by the way), wanted me to coach her league team this year so, here I am. I know nothing about pitching a softball, but researching like crazy to learn. She has about 6 innings in the circle in games, and LOVES to pitch, but she is wild( due to mechanics, I know),but she throws average speed iI guess when she does it half way right. I have our schools radar gun and she hit 44 as an early aged 9U, turned 10 December 10th 2012. We started throwing about two weeks ago. I can't get it in her head that great mechanics will increase her accuracy #1, and 2 her velo. I recorded her for the 1st time Wed, and by the audio you will notice I nothing about fp pitching but know more than I did by hours of research on the web, so please keep negative comments about my commentary to a minimum lol. Here is the link to the video, we are in the yard, I gun about every pitch for feed back when she throws half way right she cruises around 37-39, hits 40 a lot and has topped out at 41 this year in 3 pens. Thanks in advance for feedback.
