Every one knows the rise was her signature pitch!
I would make the argument that the Change Up was her "signature pitch".
One of the very best in the game last year.

I sensed a bit of sarcasm in Riseballs response, lol.
The only way to get good hitters out is with a vertical movement pitch.
It is pretty easy to get the #7, #8 and #9 out. Getting the #3 and #4 batters is very difficult. A curve and a screwball will get #7, #8 and #9 out. They won't get #1, #3 or #4 out.
Why? A pitcher has make the good hitters change their swing planes. If not, the good hitters will sooner or later maul the pitcher.
Sluggers, we are going to a new PC, we've seen her 6 or 7 times now, I'm very impressed with her, she was a very successful D1 pitcher who stays in constant contact with Rick Pauly and she understands and teaches IR. Those first couple of sentences you wrote is 100% what she teaches and stresses to my DD! In fact what you wrote looks a lot like a text she would have sent me. She likes my DD's curve & screw but she likes to call them setup pitches, she says strikeout pitches are up and down, period!
