Little brag post
Just felt the need to make a little brag post about my DD's varsity season this year. She's a sophomore this season. As a seventh grader she looked to be the next ace pitcher at her school. With a pretty good freshman pitcher in front of her we all expected to have 2-3 really good seasons with...- alabama_lowlife

Long at bats
DD has been doing a good job this year with working long counts when needed. She faced a slower pitcher this weekend and really had 2 great at bats. The first was a 10 pitch at bat which eventually resulted in a walk. I was pretty happy about that plate appearance....until her next one. She...- alabama_lowlife

13 YO DD hitting video

My son was holding the camera so it's rather shaky and he cuts off her feet some. I've read quite a bit on here and watched the Mike Epstein video posted in...- alabama_lowlife

A batter walked with no other runners on...- alabama_lowlife

correcting spin on change-up
Reading another thread on here motivated me to ask for some tips on fixing a problem my DD has been having. She throws a backhand change-up. When she first began learning it, she usually threw it with backspin but struggled to keep it down. She often rainbowed the pitch while trying to get the...- alabama_lowlife

swinging a bucket = shoulder injuries?
My dd started going to a new pitching coach about 3 weeks ago. He was recommended to me by a couple of my coworkers whose older dd's have been going to him for a couple years now. One is in 10th grade and is the ace at her school (local rival), the other a 7th grader who starts on the varsity...- alabama_lowlife
