    help with drill from old thread

    after posting i have done more reading. i feel we have started our swing from the top down, instead of the bottom up. the coach does preach getting on top of the ball a lot and i see short pop ups when ball is not a line drive or ground ball. my daughter as he says is "HANDSY" with her swing at...

    forward lean during push off

    looking for advice or drill to get more "lean" toward the batter during push from the rubber. she is standing a little to tall or straight up. would a better "lean" help with a leap problem also.

    After separation

    12u girls get good separation with hands. 1-2 get to much. My question is what is the best drill or drills after that. There is so much info here, it is hard to put together. I would like to see more with the lower half of the swing. I feel we use our hands a little to much. We teach "hands...

    sore shoulder after pitching

    we always stretch prior to each game. we also warm up at least 40 pitches prior. she plays ss may have to come in relief. she is sore the next day not during the game. i agree with sweet pitch it is hard for her to explain what she is feeling. watching her trying to stretch her arm during lesson...

    sore shoulder after pitching

    Is it normal for DD shoulder to be sore after pitching approx 8-10 innings over a weekend. Recently learned IR past couple of months. 11 yr and slender build. Was not sure if this is due to new motion and building new muscle. It is mostly the rear deltoid. She says it hurts at the 2 o'clock...

    Changing speeds

    DD has fastball, flip change and working on peel drop. What are some of the ways to take a little off a pitch? Grip the ball deeper? Grip it harder? Stiffen the wrist a little? Looking for a 3rd off speed pitch in between fastball and change. 10-13mph diff. in change and fastball.

    thank you for the comments. watching sarah pitch she doesn't seem to have a very long stride. can shorting the stride a little help with the forward lean. i know her balance is worse when trying to explode as far as she can. we do the two hillhouse drills as warm up prior to pitching. does well...
