    Daughter stuck and can't gain speed

    Thanks for the comments. I changed her pitching coach last year because she did plateau. Her pitching coach has worked with her on mechanics. She believes this is the problem. We have just finished our B-team season. She pitched 2 games finishing 1-0 with a decision. The no decision she...

    Daughter stuck and can't gain speed

    I'm not sure what to say. She is 5' tall. Approximately 130 pounds. I think that her arm circle is too slow. her pitching coach has tried to work on mechanics. She says that she is closing too soon and also jerks back when she releases. We have reduced the jerking motion. she just doesn't...

    Daughter stuck and can't gain speed

    My daughter is 12 and is pitching in her first year as at 12u. She has been stuck at a high speed of 45 to 47 mph for approximately a year or more. What can she do to improve her speed?

    getting to an inexperienced pitcher

    What everyone else seems to be missing is that This game was played over 3 weeks ago. We lost because the opposing coach refused to pitch to my big Hitters. Now remember this is 10u instructional league. I was just trying to get some of my inexperienced girls on base so that he would have no...

    getting to an inexperienced pitcher

    Look no one said anything about teasing the pitcher. We just wanted to get this girl to throw a lot of balls. I had a great hitting team but this girl was very inconsistent and we had hoped to get a few base runners for our big hitters. but the coach didn't pitch to our big hitters. I have...

    getting to an inexperienced pitcher

    I know what you mean Dusty. This coach once he realized that he was not going to win the league decided to start a travel team. He called me and my assistant coach (our girls play on other travel teams). he wanted to know if we would be willing to play with his team when we were not playing...

    getting to an inexperienced pitcher

    They are messed up They say that it speeds up the game but what it does is promote a coach to tell his girls to not swing. We practiced after the season started but most of the teams had no other practices. they are only concerned with winning. Yes, I wanted to win... Was it for me? Not...

    getting to an inexperienced pitcher

    getting to an inexperienced pitcher

    Coaching... Okay I have heard the opinion from all of you coaches that seem to think that I was wrong by trying to get the pitcher off her game. Well let me tell you what happened. I have been the #1 team all year because my team hits the ball. We have had 1 to 2 extra practices every week...

    getting to an inexperienced pitcher

    I am coaching my daughter in the championship of her rec league. the opposing coach has been intentionally walking my power hitters when I pitch to his 1 power hitter. He also is telling the girls who are batting 6 or lower to stand there until you have 2 strikes. He will be pitching a girl...

    Do I have a good arguement?

    I know I agree with what you said. I did lose but I protested a the time but I am thinking of going to the head of the rec league. there was a 12u team earlier in the week that had to forfiet because a pitcher who was ineligilible to pitch pitched in the game.
