Big thanks to this board!!
DD was a bench warmer last year in the batting order. In some games the coaches would use the Flex rule to keep here pitching but out of the batting lineup. Ended season at a .112. After the season she asked me to help her. Following the bits and pieces on this forum we made a plan and...- redhack

Batting practice is now pitching practice
My DD is a pitcher. She is on a team with four pitchers, and with that she still pitched most of the innings on her team this last year. Her strength is her mental state when she is in the circle. However the opposite could be said for her batting. She has power and a great eye, but is...- redhack

In tournament recovery methods
DD has some marathon tournaments comming up. She will be called on to give all she can. What do you do to assist in pre game day and between game recovery to help maximize pitching and prevent injuries? I know what her limits are and I know the coaches will lean on her.

Understanding that there are exceptions to the rule, but on an average for most girls. FB, CU (variations), curve, screw...- redhack

From control to command?
What are some of the metrics used when determining to move a pitcher on? My DD is starting to throw over 80-85% strikes. We are mid season and have no intention on doing anything until it is over. She knows the concept of position pitches. So I was just thinking when do you move them on...- redhack

What do I tell her
My 11yr DD has been pitching a year and a half with a PC. He has done great and stresses mechanics. She is throwing in the upper 40's consistently, and the CU is coming along. PC preaches to throw full speed or not at all. She is about at full control and have introduced her to the concepts...- redhack
