    Paige Parker-2 seam vs 4 seam rise and drop

    Hey all! In the WCWS, commentators keep discussing Paige Parkers ability to throw a 2 and 4 seam rise, and a 2 and 4 seam drop. I'd love to talk more about this and gain some insight.

    Back hand/flip change

    One of my pitchers is having a really really hard time keeping her hand turned through release. She has it flipped at 9 oclock and then changes it back through release while finishing correctly. Any cue ideas or coaching tips to help her accomplish this? Thanks for your input!

    Technicalities of throwing inside & outside

    Hey guys! I am wanting to discuss on exactly "how" to throw an inside pitch and an outside pitch. What exactly happens with the body? What are the minute differences, if any? I know that perfect repetition is the key to control and consistency. That is not what I am wanting to discuss here. I...

    Pitching Feedback

    Feedback on this pitcher? I see that she needs to use her legs more in the proper manner. I also see that she is not using her glove side the way she should and she is opening her front shoulder. I see pretty solid internal rotation. But of course, we all need more work on elbow snap and IR...
