    Overhand throwing - infield

    Yeah, I didn’t mean fix it, but be able for her to see improved velo, and accuracy with that velo. She used to throw differently, but in her teenage years it’s changed and I just haven’t been able to figure it out in order to help her. Thanks for the reply! I’ll let you all know how things...

    Overhand throwing - infield

    Thanks! How quickly do you think she could see results? A couple of weeks of consistent work?

    Overhand throwing - infield

    My 15 yo needs some serious work on her throwing. Velo is down and her accuracy has gone down. I feel like she isn’t opening up and just throwing with her arm like a Chinese cat figurine where the paw just goes up and down. I think a good part of the problem is confidence, but her technique...

    Pitch calling strategy

    Thanks! Already talking to her about all of this. Will see how it goes! Appreciate the input!

    Pitch calling strategy

    Thanks! Accuracy is there - she usually keeps it down and outside (for RH batter). In all I think all of these ideas are going to be helpful! I appreciate all of your help!

    Pitch calling strategy

    Thank you for this! I like it a lot. Could you please clarify what the "U" is for the change up?

    Are you recommending "The Science of Pitch Sequencing" edition of that series?

    Pitch calling strategy

    Ok - so this got a little off track. I never wanted my daughter to throw whatever she wants. The problem is that the coach's pitch calling system only calls for strikes, or probably more realistically, doesn't tell the pitchers when to NOT throw strikes, especially on pitcher's counts. The...

    Pitch calling strategy

    I agree with this up to a point, the point being that there is never a call for a pitch out of the zone. I'm trying to teach my daughter that she can throw the pitch that is called, but that she is in charge of where it goes, depending on the count and other factors. Do you agree with this?

    Pitch calling strategy

    Hey - Thanks for your response. Sorry that my post wasn't clear. I'm not really sure how to explain it, though. Pitching is called differently by her travel coach, it's more detailed on what he wants, where the HS coach is more vague. I want to help her learn to make the right pitch, based on...

    Pitch calling strategy

    Hello DFPers! My daughter is 15yo pitcher. She took a year off back in 2019 and came back successfully for the 2020 high school season. She got the majority of the starts and was 2nd team all conference as a freshman. She has since joined a very competitive travel team and has done great so...

    Teaching pitch selection

    Thanks! That's how I did it when I pitched in HS. Now to just get my daughter to become assertive and do it! lol

    Teaching pitch selection

    Thanks for this! I'll be talking to her today about it along with her pitching coach. What I'm wondering about, is how to communicate this with the catchers. They make the calls, and she's not shaking them off - even if she knows/thinks she should. Even if she did shake a call off, how would...

    Teaching pitch selection

    Hey. My DD is a freshman pitcher on her HS team and she is getting the majority of the circle time already. Coach doesn't call pitches, the catchers do. Calls are really only pitch - fb, curve, change and location is just inside or outside. This hasn't been working very well as my daughter...

    Filming and sharing video - music copyright issues

    UPDATE: So YouTube gave the option for just the song that was copyrighted to be muted - and it worked! Hi - I just uploaded my daughter's team's high school game from last night and because there is music played at the field, I got a message saying it was infringing on copyright policy. How...

    Crazy injury - to the bucket dad!

    So I'm wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else, because it seems so strange that it could happen at all. There I was, innocently catching for my 13 yo at her lesson, which I've done for about 4 years now. I now have 3 daughters that pitch but on this particular day, the oldest went...

    How to hit a rise ball?

    Hi! So surprised and glad you found this thread! Your daughter is an inspiration! I hope she is having a great fall season so far! My daughter's team was the Texas Glory and we played against Lexi in Panama City last year. Great pitching duel between our daughters! :) Best of luck! I'm sure...

    Getting the curve

    Thanks for the reply. She already has a very good change up (it's her favorite pitch to throw) and is highly accurate with her fb. Her drop ball is pretty good and we're working on improving that now that she's playing 14U and she has a coach who will call it. Her PC is going to work to teach...
