    Looking for feedback

    I can see what you are talking about. She is hunched over and leaning over the plate. I also get what your saying about the lean making it harder to hit an inside pitch. Makes sense. In regard to the lack of separation issue. Funny thing, we've been working on that for awhile. Apparently not...

    I moved the net to keep her from swinging around the ball. I am trying to get her to finish out. I am also a 4 year rookie lol, meaning we could be fighting a battle with an empty gun. Please feel free to give feedback good or bad both are appreciated. Thanks.

    10 year old Pitcher

    Thank yall for the feedback. She has worked really hard to get to where she is at and continues to work hard to improve. My biggest fear is the game will pass her by. I don't want her to peak at 10u..

    1st Pitch/Fastball 2nd Pitch/Changeup 3rd Pitch/?

    I agree, She still needs to work on taking some speed off the changeup. She has been begging me to learn a new pitch. I haven't gave in as of yet. Her pitching coach is suggesting that she learn a screwball. I have read mixed reviews. He thinks she is ready to move forward. I am not sold on the...

    Screwball Spin vs Fastball Spin

    It appears to me that the spin(bullet spin) on my DD's fastball is the same as her screwball. If the spin is the same what are the benefits of learning the screwball? Thanks again for yalls help.

    9 YO Throwing 60

    Size makes me nervous for my little one. Her mom is 5'1" and I'm only 5'8". She is 4'9" 90lbs and 10.5, this is her 1st year in 10u. She is also one of those flamethrowers. Makes me sick thinking her best years might just be in 10u, sick...

    9 YO Throwing 60

    I'm curious as to why the flamethrower is not as dominate in 12u. Bad mechanics, stopped growing, 12" softball, distance? The pattern of kids not being as dominate in 12u as they were in 10u seems to happen more often than not. Why?

    9 YO Throwing 60

    It's a fun ride for us as she works on building up speed. It's not going to be as fun when she plateaus and we have to fight/work harder for extra speed. I'm going to enjoy this ride for now...

    Pitching in a Game Vs Practice

    Below are 2 links of my little one pitching. One is her pitching in our backyard and the other one is her pitching this weekend. I realize the game video shows we need a lot of work.

    Looking for Feedback/Advice(1st year 10u)

    Thanks for the compliment. It looks to me at the 9:00 position her palm is not under the ball and she needs to lead more with the elbow. Before we work on those 2 problems, I want to make sure they are indeed the problems we need to address. Thanks in advance for the help.
