    Changeup Velocity

    Out of curiosity, why is the drop the most important pitch to have in your mind? Apologies if you have explained in the past. Just trying to understand.

    Move Up to 16U or stay 14U?

    If she is not dominating the 14U teams, then I would say stay in 14U and find a team that plays higher level competition.
