    Offseason woes

    On her "get out", I'd like to see the front shoulder stay above the front hip. She also shows a DBSF pattern. That needs to be addressed.

    Batter-runner and running lane

    When is the batter runner supposed to use the running lane? We had a situation where the batter hit a weak grounder up the first base line. The batter-runner collided with the first baseman trying to field the ball. The ball did roll into foul territory just as the collision and the touching...

    Role of the front shoulder vs. Role of back shoulder in hitting.

    Take your hitting stance and pound a nail into a wall with just your front arm. At first you only use your arm from the elbow down because you don't want to miss.

    Last chance

    As stated, her arm whip is spent before she releases. On the plus side it's a great change up. I agree with D.R., those two drills will have her throwing some heat before long. If she puts the work in she could have something real nice there. Odd to think that her off speed pitch would be a...

    How to raise a circle princess

    So it's obvious when you have a princess on your hands, but maybe it's not so obvious when there is a case of reverse daddy ball. How does one go about finding out? What are the checks and balances? Is it stats, or feedback, or just something a relatively intelligent person should be able to...
