This might be an awfully dumb question, but I never see it talked about (perhaps that means it doesn't matter).
At what point does the pitcher need to accelerate during the delivery? Should the entire thing from first movement be fast, or is it OK to go slow up until a certain point before exploding forward?
A pitcher I'm working with is slow up until she reaches the peak of her backswing, then she goes forward quickly. We have a lot to work on, but would speeding up the initial phase of the delivery help? Is it absolutely necessary? Or does the quickness not really matter until she starts to go forward?
