Replant, fix or let it go.
DD is now 14 u and has been replanting almost from the beginning. [ 4 or 5 years ] Until a few illegal pitch calls and a lot of reading and research did I realize the problem. First two PC's never mentioned it and I was going to them for their expertise. Initially she was leaping [ off the ground ] and then replanting. Her and I fixed the leaping and got her drag foot down and at that time I thought she was fine. Not realizing, at the time, you could drag your foot yet still replant. [ slow motion camera helped with that ] Her current PC is aware of it says its so slight and not to worry about it. I agree to a certain extent because in lessons it is much better and very slight. But come game time it seems to get much worse.
As far as her motion { I know video would be big help but she'll be graduated before I figure how to post a video ] she has a very big stride and begins to turn her foot almost immediately. Two points, one she throws as hard in her warmup position which is basically standing at 45 degree and what we call up together down together and two, if I take the ball out of her hand her stride is perfect, toe drags, her drag line looks like the nike swoosh. In my mind as soon as she has to actually throw she over rotates from the get go.
Now the gist of my post, should I do anything ? She throws in the high 50's on a very good travel team, in addition, I probably saw at least 10 pitchers in the recent college games replant. She pitched for her school team and has been in several ASA tournaments this year and not one IP. I respect the advice of the people on this forum and look forward to your input
