Great video. Can we get a rear or front view of her pitching? She may be leaning to her left, rather than her right, when she throws.

How old is she?

this is a Cannon HF 20 Darrick, thanks for the comments, it has been a work in progress. I am searching for a good instructor in our area but just haven't found the right one yet. sluggers I will take some video from the front and rear next weekend, and yes she leans to the left sometimes, we have been working on it but she is having a hard time with it. It starts in her initial move forward, I am think she is not driving with her drive leg hard enough or too late maybe, not sure. Maybe you can pick up something and let me know what you think. Is the slow motion good or is full speed better to look at?

It appears to me like she isn't pusing with her drive leg at all. I could be wrong. How fast does she throw with this style? I see her glove arm swinging out, that may cause some issues with control. There also appears to be a lean to the left, could be because of the arm swing. I have my girls who like to "swim" that arm out pitch next to a fence where they have to stay straight so they don't hit it. I know shounds cruel and can cause them to get injured but, it has worked with many.

she does swim out with her glove arm(again, getting better) her control is good averages 3 walks per 7 innings in 14U travel, gunned her in July at nationals 51-54 depending on the pitch. I guess it is possible she is not driving out, but to me it looks like she is and she says she is, but again I am just her dad and not an instructor, we are leaarning as we go and getting better. Thanks for the comments.

One drill to have her learn to push more with her right leg is to stand on just the drive leg and hold up the left leg and pitch. It forces her to push with the right leg every time.

Boardmember, I will take that as a compliment to her, I thought she was driving out but, but like I said most here know much more than I do.
