    Dallas Escobedo

    I'm sure this has been brought up in the past but is Dallas really throwing a riseball? I just don't see how it can be with the position of her body and by the way her follow through is. I understand the pitch ends up high in the zone but I can't help but think it's just a high fastball.

    Another change-up question

    My daughter is trying to throw the horseshoe change that I believe BM teaches a lot. Should this pitch be released at the hip and you physically pull the hand/forearm up towards the throwing shoulder or should your arm reach it's end out in front (not so high as to cause the pitch to be too...

    Throwing/Hitting

    Is "The Move" involved in the throwing sequence? I ask this because I do hear and read all the time that throwing is like hitting and I know some believe the move is involved in hitting and some do not. Do all agree "the move" is associated with throwing or not?

    FFS and others please give feedback

    I'm sure my daughter needs to work on a lot of the things I've been reading about on other posts but I would appreciate it if you guys could give me some feedback. I just had her swing through extension. FFS, Can you work your magic and slow this down? I've tried to upload the video/URL under...

    Coach Becky Wittenburg

    I'm just wondering if anyone has ever purchased any of the material Becky offers on her site and what you thought about it?

    Live Pitching

    My dd needs to see as much live pitching as possible mainly for timing issues. Is it ok for me to pitch overhand to her from 43' or will I be causing more problems than good?

    IR, Hello Elbow, etc.

    Do these terms really only apply to how to throw a fastball? It seems/looks they go away with different pitches such as the rise and others. I'm just curious and would love to hear any and all feedback.

    Leap distance???

    My DD is almost 11 and is 4'8" tall. I know there isn't an exact distance but what would be a good min/max distance she should be leaping?

    2010 Anderson TechZilla

    I purchased a 30/20 for my daughter but it is too heavy...she actually ended up swinging an 18 oz. bat. I've had it for a couple months but she has never used it. Although, another girl on her team used it in practice several times so it probably has 50-100 hits on it. I purchased it for $299...

    Glove hand arm swing

    Is this a must to stop? My DD does it and I don't know what to do to break it. She brings both arms back on her pre-motion so I had her try taking her glove hand up beside her throwing hand as far as she could to eliminate her instantly swinging her glove out and it did delay the movevement but...

    Wrist/Forearm exercises for pitchers???

    Are there any good pieces of equipment that strengthen the wrist and forearm? I know you can do wrist curls but I don't see my 12 year old doing those.

    Is a 29" bat...

    Is a 29" bat way too small for a girl 4'9"? 29" comes right to her wrist with shoes on and I've always heard this is a good way to measure. My daughter is almost 11 but it just seems like every girl her age even if they are an inch or two shorter are using at least a 30" bat. I would like to go...

    Miken Rain Light or Halo opinions

    I'm looking for a good -12 bat for my daughter and was wondering if anyone has used either of these bats and if so, would you recommend them? I'm looking at a 31/19 and recommendations on any bat this size would be appreciated.

    TechZilla

    I bought a 30/20 Anderson TechZilla and it feels heavier than a 31/23 bat I have. It feels end loaded but Anderson claims it is handle loaded. Do they just feel this way or do they weigh more than advertised?

    COMbat Virus question

    Does anyone know the 2008 or 2009 Virus model number and do you know if it is still legal? Is the new Virus Morphed supposed to be any better or worse?

    What is the formula...

    What is the formula used to determine bat weight based on the weight of the individual and how accurate is it? It seems like I figured it before and it came up heavy compared to charts I've seen based on the girls height. If I'm looking at a chart and a girl is 4 feet 8 inches tall I believe it...

    Champro pitching rubber

    I have to install a Champro step-down pitching rubber and wanted some advice. It's for 10U so the distance will be 35' from the back of homeplate to the front of the rubber I believe. How much should I leave exposed?

    What's the base pad and pitching mound distance for ASA 10U? Is the pitching mound distance from the back or front of the plate?
