Pitching injury help needed
It’s pretty much as simple as this. Do you want her to suffer from having bruises on her arm and insist on brush contact or do you want her to enjoy pitching? And I’m not talking about the left arm at all here. Strictly the throwing arm. And also, I’m still new here and thought I was replying to...- Meganhereforyou

Pitching injury help needed
The first issue is about keeping the hips open. Make sure the arms comes through before the hips do. This is an issue I can most definitely help fix. Put more emphasis on the powerline. As for the second issue, that’s interesting. If you think it’d help I do video analysis and can let you know...- Meganhereforyou

Oversized Balls to help with Spin
If you need any help with drills using the big ball or how to effectively use them I offer online lessons. Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in! Big balls can be a great tool but can be quite useless if you don’t know how to use them.- Meganhereforyou

Oversized Balls to help with Spin
Big balls are a very useful tool when used correctly. Don’t over use it. In my lessons, my pitchers only use the big ball once they have learned the proper mechanics of each pitch. The larger ball forces the pitcher to exaggerate the snap. This encourages her to snap with her full power. This...- Meganhereforyou

Calling location and pitching
Pitch calling is so fun! It’s hard to use age as a determining factor of how to call pitches. If you’re pitcher cannot hit her spots using inside and outside then don’t add more to it. Make sure she can hit those spots before adding the four corners inside, outside, high and low. I would assume...- Meganhereforyou

How far a pitcher jumps out
On average a pitchers stride should equal how tall she is. This is a reference point and not an absolute. My biggest tip when it comes to stride is marking where her plant foot should land every single time. Inconsistency with plant placements results in off timing and therefore less strikes...- Meganhereforyou

Tips for getting pitcher over mental hurdle of behing hit by batted balls
Work on building confidence. She’s obviously afraid of being in the circle and nothing good can come of that. There are several ways of doing this. Also, remind her that getting hit is a risk that every pitcher faces. There is a good chance she’ll get hit again in the future. But don’t let that...- Meganhereforyou

Pitcher has lost her way
Her physically being able to throw a strike isn’t the problem, it’s her mental state. Mental side of pitching sometimes gets forgotten which is why I’m such a big advocate of teaching the mental side of pitching just as much as the physical. She needs confidence in her pitch. To gain this, she...- Meganhereforyou
