    Finally Starting Back

    You may want to give the bat drill a try - my DD used this and it helped her get the feel

    Crowding the plate

    Actually we had that discussion a couple years ago now. Initially she did feel bad but we talked about how hitting a batter can happen, is part of the game, and it’s also up to the batter to get out of the way. She gets that now and is able to move on to the next if she does happen to hit...

    Loose / Whippy drills

    Does anyone have any suggestions on loose / whippy drills? A previous post mentioned getting more loose and whippy with the arm and my DD needs to work on the same. She’s been working on keeping the bend in the arm over the top but I don’t think she fully understands yet what loose and...

    Crowding the plate

    DD (1st year 16U) pitched in a tourney over the weekend. Yesterday she had a batter crowd the plate on her the most she ever has had - toes on the inside line of the box. I was behind the plate and looked like she was hovering over half the plate. It threw DD off, and she ended up walking...
