If you could change one thing...
I felt like she was somewhere in between IR and HE, but I didn’t know how possible that was! I actually did tell her to lead with the pinky as somewhat of a bridge from pushing to pulling. She did fine with that and still had accuracy. It’s hard to tell exactly how well it works until we can get...- Kelbrad7

https://youtu.be/idacCzf_cTI This was our quick attempt at pulling instead of pushing today. She has practice, so I didn’t want to push too much. I’m not sure I’m equipped to teach IR by myself, even after studying the stickies here. There is zero hope of finding an IR instructor anywhere near...- Kelbrad7

This is kind of a vicious cycle; If she has success pitching, she could definitely be in 100%, but she has to be in 100% to have succes pitching! She played 2B for JV last year, and she’s happy there. Really, she’d be happy anywhere her coaches asked her to play as long as she’s playing!- Kelbrad7

That actually doesn’t happen most of the time. She’s throwing in the basement, and the ball was coming right back to her! I’m going to ask her to try a couple of things with pulling instead of pushing and see how well it goes over. I’ll post a new video with the results. Thanks again everyone.- Kelbrad7

Thank you for the replies. We will definitely work on pulling instead of pushing. She has surprising accuracy for someone who isn’t really a pitcher. Do you think messing with the arm circle would be too risky this close to show time, or is it worth it? Doug Romrell- I’ve never thought about...- Kelbrad7

My 15 year old daughter was asked to pitch some for her Freshman team. She hasn’t really pitched much before. She hasn’t taken lessons, and she doesn’t have a pitching coach. She doesn’t want to play college softball. She does want to do the best she can for her team this season, which starts in...- Kelbrad7

I/R - always missing right
That certainly makes better sense to me! I'm either going to have a great pitcher, or the most confused little girl on the planet!- Kelbrad7

I do think she is forcing some of the motions. I'm going to try doing the overhand/underhand drill I just read about in a different thread to help her remember to stay loose. I also think she's striving to be as open as possible. I'm a little confused on that point after reading seemingly...- Kelbrad7

Great advice- thanks. I am encouraged by the low right miss. It's hard to teach something I don't fully understand myself just yet, and no one locally has a clue what I'm talking about. I just don't want to give in and go the HE route just to get strikes early on.- Kelbrad7

I've read through the pitching stickies and have tried my best to help my 10u DD start pitching. The only nearby pitching coaches teach HE, but my DD is naturally more of an IR pitcher. We've been working on just playing underhanded catch along with pitching, but in both cases she misses right 9...- Kelbrad7
