    Seeking advice: If your DD is not going to be tall - a novel I know, sorry ;-)

    Seeking advice: If your DD is not going to be tall - a novel I know, sorry ;-)

    Thank you for all the responses - I knew I would get some great advice/suggestions/comments!! My daughter pitches between 51-54 mph and change-up was 38-41 mph - the last time it was gunned during a tryout a month or so ago. We do not own a gun so it doesn't get measured often but we look at how...

    Seeking advice: If your DD is not going to be tall - a novel I know, sorry ;-)

    I sure hope this all makes sense b/c I am too tired to type any more ;-) My DD just turned 13 this month. She has been pitching since she was 9 years old. She is passionate, dedicated and practices 3-4 days a week and has been doing this for the past 2 years. She has a pitching coach. She has...

    Appearance opinions

    Question: Do you think long pitch should be included in a pitcher's warm-up routine before they pitch in games?

    Overhand throwing causing some pain

    Thanks guys for the replies. The pain (at least as she explained it to me) isn't bad. I asked her, "Are you sure it doesn't hurt you real bad" and she said no. I would have never even known (no painful winces or faces made and no changing of mechanics) until she spoke up. When I asked her where...

    Overhand throwing causing some pain

    Thanks! Scary - I will definitely make an appointment for her to see a sports medicine doc. I don't want to take any chances. unfortunately that appointment will have to wait for a couple of weeks because DD's team is heading to nationals next week in Indiana. She is 2nd pitcher so I know she...

    Overhand throwing causing some pain

    My DD told me the other day that her shoulder hurts when ever she plays catch (throwing overhand). She says it does not hurt when she pitches or even when she plays long throw (overhand) but when she moves in closer to throw the ball hard (playing catch) - she says it hurts. I questioned her...

    Finishing the strike out

    Great advice guys! I love this message board. I agree Mrek with your post. As for "changing of speed"; my daughter is 11 yo (12U team) and she is learning to figure out when to shake off a pitch and use a change-up instead. DD's coaches don't use the change-up that much but I agree it is a way...

    Finishing the strike out

    Hi, do any of you guys have drills/scenarios/suggestions that can help a pitcher finish the strikeout. My DD has sometimes been getting 2 strikes and then usually by 4th pitch gives them a pitch that they hit - no meatballs but rather a pitch in which a batter usually hits a small little dinker...

    Thoughts on a crazy idea?

    This actually makes A LOT of since to me. I do have a DD that is #2 right now with a staff of 3 pitchers. She is up against someone nearly twice her age (#1 pitcher has a B-Day in 1st week of January, 11 yo vs 13 yo old is a BIG difference both physically and maturity wise.) My DD puts in twice...

    11 YO (12u team) - Looking for advice/suggestions/comments

    Thank you for the replies! Jeff, yes the head coach of the organization is my DD's PC. Interesting is that the screwball was one of the PC's best pitches. Also, interesting is you talking about the knee or potential problems with my DD's knee - though it is not her front knee but rather her...

    11 YO (12u team) - Looking for advice/suggestions/comments

    Thanks everyone for the responses. I meant to reply yesterday but my younger DD (7u) had her league game, son had his baseball practice and my oldest DD (this pitcher) had a double header league games - so we were swamped & running around every where yesterday, lol. Oldest DD (this pitcher) got...

    11 YO (12u team) - Looking for advice/suggestions/comments

    Thank you for taking the time to reply/comment. Yes, she does have a problem with keeping her weight back and being "tall". We will have to try out that drill you mentioned. She does have a tendency to throw screw-ball like fastballs sometimes. We will look at that too. I look forward to reading...

    11 YO (12u team) - Looking for advice/suggestions/comments

    I have again added some videos for all the pitching experts/teachers on this site to look over and provide some feedback. I added several short videos because I was not for sure which video would be most helpful. Thanks and advance.

    12u pitcher (11 years old) - What suggestions/comments do you have

    Thanks for the replies. I will try to get the front view posted soon. I am also going to try to video her some more and post it. However, it was 74 degrees this Past Friday and then Saturday and today a Snow storm!! That's Oklahoma weather for you. My good video camera is really only good with...

    12u pitcher (11 years old) - What suggestions/comments do you have

    Thanks for the reply Sluggers. We will definently look at/consider all the items addressed in your post. She does have a PC and has been seeing her for almost a year now. We like her as a PC - we posted this video to get perspectives/viewpoints of others knowledgeable about pitching throughout...
