14u DD has been throwing a rise ball for the last couple seasons. It has been effective for her. What I have seen recently is that as she has picked up speed on her fastball/drop ball her rise has not kept pace. She is consistently about 5 mph slower. Not a good situation as she gets into higher competition. We are currently focussing on throwing it with more velocity and increasing the time we focus on this during our practices but any insight on how to bring the rise ball speed up would be appreciated.
Thanks
