This comes up sometimes, I know DD went through this a few years ago. While at P if she threw the ball to 1st it would go 10' over their head most the time. Once it starts it is hard to stop.

Lestor, pitcher for the Cubs, has the answer.

Purposely bounce the ball on throws to 1st base.

Sounds like he has only tried it once in a game resulting in a 2 base throwing error. It was the backup 1st basemen so that doesn't count. :)

Have her throw underhand, my DD has thrown out one of her friends from third underhand, lol, shes a pitcher when not playing third. Only did it once though, she got a kick out of it and her friend did too
