    Cheating or not?

    If that's your reasoning behind it, I'll have to disagree. There's a pretty good reason coaches use signals/wrist bands instead of just yelling "fastball inside low" to a pitcher.

    Cheating or not?

    Do you think it doesn't matter at any level or just the younger levels? I would think its very beneficial to know which pitch is coming next around 14u. Under 14 the pitcher probably isn't experienced enough to consistently hit their spots so even if you know the pitch, the chances of the...

    Any advice on DD swing?

    I also have some game swings from her last game. These are her last 4 at bats. I also have a throwing error in there that we were looking at as well. The last few videos just show her swing compared to the top hitters on our team to see if we could find a flaw.

    Any advice on DD swing?

    Thank you all for the info. Always get a ton of info from this site. @FP26 yes, she does pitch. Interesting you notice that from her swing. Her primary position is short stop though. The video I originally posted had the tee as far down as it would go. I'm thinking that's why the bat path looks...

    Any advice on DD swing?

    she hits a ton of hard hit balls to third base but either it goes foul or 3rd throws her out at first. Any info you could give on how to work on switching the load to the ground? Is there a metric on the blast sensor that will tell us if she’s improving on that? Thanks for the input :)

    Any advice on DD swing?

    Looks like she does something different with her hands that I don't see in others swings. I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thank you. https://youtu.be/M_IuDN9rznw

    Criticism on DD hits please

    Pretty close to the same. about half distance throwing around 45mph. I believe I use what is called the slingshot pitch as well but I call it the K position. But we never got to this point. The way we did it was I sat on a bucket a few feet in front of her off to the side and I would toss the...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    Do you recommend continuing with the soft tosses or go back to tee drills? I've always believed that if they are not doing it correctly in soft tossed you should go back to tee work. I'm not really sure why I have that mind set though. No one has ever said that to me, I guess I came up with that...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    A whole bunch of rain. >.< We have been doing some drills focusing on the front hip and the hips/hands separation and it looks to me like she's doing well with it. We have been sticking to mostly tee drills but the end of last week we started doing some soft tosses and she went back to that...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    Great point. I worry so much about misunderstanding people that it didn't cross my mind that maybe they misunderstood me. Myself along with everyone else here seems to agree that creating more separation with the hips and hands would be the most beneficial to her. So that is where we will focus...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    I had to go back and pay close attention to this. We do work drills where she is in a "power V" (which is what I am imagining when I picture having a straight line across the shoulders and down the bat. Let me know if I am misunderstanding this.) posture at contact. We got like a punching bag...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    haha well keep in mind that's a highlight video. She has her struggles at the plate just as much as the next athlete (trust me, I have them videos also. lol). This ballpark has short back stops and turf fields so it makes the videos look a lot better with just that. I use a go pro 6 filmed in...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    Thank you Coach James. I am very optimistic that this was our issue as well. We are going to spend the next several weeks working hard on that front hip. I'll make sure to post a follow up video for analysis. Also, thank you for your help with her pitching. We did all the drills you...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    Great observation and also exactly what I was thinking. Leaking power is the perfect way to describe what I was thinking was happening. I knew about separating the hips and hands but I seem to be getting mixed opinions on that. When I brought it up to one of the other parents on the team he said...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    Interesting enough. I noticed this as well and asked her about it. She said the coach told her this was technically a baseball field and the batters box wasn't the correct size so don't worry about stepping out this box. I didn't even know there was different size boxes in baseball than...

    Criticism on DD hits please

    Hello everyone. My daughter plays softball and she hits pretty well. I want to help her get better but I do not know that much about hitting (just the basics at best). I might do more harm than good actually so I'm looking for some help. She is a pitcher so I spend most of my time reading on...

    how should changeup cross the plate

    I agree with Coach James, sounds like HC likes seeing passed balls ;). I tell my DD to try to make it land right in between the plate and the catcher but do not let the ball go higher than the hitters neck. With these 2 queues she doesn't have an arch and the ball dies right as it gets to the...

    IR and Bruxh in Japan

    I use VLC. It’s very easy. You should be able to see how on google. It’s like 2-3 steps. Let me know if anyone has any problems and I’ll be happy to help out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
