Pitching plant foot angle

dgreen · Feb 18, 2017

Need help correcting front plant foot angle, any suggestions?? She's 9 years old throwing 44mph. It's driving me crazy but doesn't seem to be effecting her pitching speeds or her accuracy on hitting spots??? Let me know if this link works or not :/

She's 9.... She has a lot of time to polish her pitching mechanics. I think for her age she's off to a decent start.

I am curious about who taught her to point her elbow forward after throwing the ball.

Well in this video she is over exaggerating that movement, she had been fighting a bad habit of 'hitching' her arm at release (sudden stop of the elbow with backward jerk) so she was over emphasising and holding in that position. But she does do that in her pitch alot, as if she is placing her elbow in her target (the catchers glove after release) on her fastball. Of course that isn't the case with her change up or screw ball.
