Favorite pitches
Definitely changeup! She loves that pitch and will throw it on any count. A close 2nd is curveball. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Legendsmom

Change up
My DD throws something similar to this and her pc calls it a circle change. She has great control of it and it has been called nasty. Has movement and comes in around 35-37. I wonder if what you are describing is the same as what she is throwing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Legendsmom

Playing time
My dd has been in the same situation as your dd with not getting much playing time. It’s hard to see them sitting the bench behind another pitcher but I kept telling her to keep working hard because you never know when you will get your chance. My dd’s chance came this past weekend at a...- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
Update- DD decided to work as hard as possible and contribute where she can. She got her chance this past weekend when the starting pitcher got injured. Although the injury wasn’t as bad as originally thought, dd got to start 1 game and relieved the starter in the 4th inning of another game. I...- Legendsmom

Weird pitching delivery
DD’s high school team played in a tournament this weekend and the coach put in a girl that pitched for them last year but has been playing 1st this year. She had a weird delivery where she paused her arm circle at the bottom of the down swing before finishing the pitch. She literally almost...- Legendsmom

DD is now the starter
Played in a tournament today and dd got the start against a very good team that were state champs last year and undefeated this year. Dd had some hits off her but was holding her own. 3rd inning, she had a walk and coach pulled her and put the 3rd pitcher in. The next 2 batters proceeded to hit...- Legendsmom

DD is now the starter
After getting minimal circle time on varsity so far this year, dd is now the starter. # 1 pitcher broke her finger yesterday. How quickly things can change, I told her this is her chance to prove what she can do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
Update, dd pitched a no hitter yesterday for jv. Coach told her she was much improved and giving her a varsity start tomorrow! She was determined to work harder and prove to him what she could do! I’m proud of her! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
She’s dealing with it ok, the coach’s wife who co coaches with him talked with her yesterday at practice and told her to prove him wrong and when he gets upset he says things he shouldn’t. She’s going to focus on what she can control and she did talk about the pitch calling. Fastballs against a...- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
She wasn’t pulled, she proceeded to get out of the inning. I think she handled the situation well, and didn’t break down until later with me. In my opinion the coach was frustrated over the situation and took it out on my dd which is not ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
Wow! I hope that is not the route my dd has to take. She also thrives on positive reinforcement. She is so happy when she gets compliments and it makes her work even harder. Some of the best coaches she has had were the ones that didn’t scream and yell but used encouragement instead. She had a...- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
What is weird that in previous games he used the change a lot and it was her biggest strike out pitch. Not sure why he was not calling it in this game especially with the hitters hitting her fastball. I agree it should be something she talks to him about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
I did talk to her and told her to control what she can and that is her pitching. I also told her to give 100% all the time. I disagree and do think he is a bully, because she has told me of other instances at practice where he picks on certain girls and I don’t think that is right especially...- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
He is the athletic director and is also an assistant coach for the football team. I was talking about this earlier and said that girls can’t be treated like boys because they react differently. Like the old saying girls have to feel good to win and boys have to win to feel good. Not that...- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
The other pitcher had her fair amount of mistakes also. She had walked 3 batters in a row just the previous inning. My dd doesn’t normally have hard hit balls. She usually gets grounders and pop ups. The reason there were more errors is because the coach decided to pull some players and let some...- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
Thank you for that perspective. You may be right and she did do better and get out of the inning after that exchange. The tears didn’t come until later when she was alone with me. I guess the momma bear came out in me, and I still think it could have been handled better. She acknowledges she...- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
1st of all my post was mainly about the way the coach treated her while she was pitching. She acknowledges she could have done better. Yes, her job is to get batters out but there are also 8 other people on the field that have to do their job. This is a team sport and she should not have been...- Legendsmom

Frustration with high school ball
Thanks for the advice and I have decided that going to talk to him is probably not a good idea. She is way too intimidated by him. I told her to just do her best and that is all she can do but I will not tolerate her being bullied. I don’t like having to step in but in this situation I may have...- Legendsmom
