Nice Pictures

Show the ball, arms symmetrical, hips open, on target. Whips like there's no tomorrow. Now if I could stop that fricken bullet spin! BTW, wife took this picture from the stands in yesterday's game.

Here's the next project, I've got about 18 months to get her ready to replace the pitcher above. She's the proto-typical bend over bowler, but she's an extremely fast bowler and pretty good accuracy. This is what make her such an intriguing prospect. For those starting their own journey I can't say enough about BM's advice of...teach 'em to throw underhand before teaching them to pitch. This is always our starting point.

Great job WillyT. Is that your DD on the top photo? Both girls look huge. What age are they?

WillyT812 · May 3, 2015

Neither are my DD, just girls on the local HS teams here in Kaiserslautern Germany. The top girl is a junior and the other girls is a freshman. It's taken eighteen months to get the junior to where she is today. When I started with her at the end of her freshman year she had never pitched a lick.

I'm just letting the prospect pitch this year, we're in the season and if I start the rebuild process she won't be able to back up our main pitcher. We'll start the rebuild late summer early fall, should have her throwing upright with IR by the time our season starts next year. Providing she puts the work in.

I guess I should add, almost everything I know about teaching a girl to pitch I either learned from this board or from my girls teaching them what I've learned from this board.

WillyT that is impressive with the junior that had never pitched before. Great form. What kind of speeds is she hitting?

WillyT812 · May 3, 2015

Just a tad over 50, wish it was higher but this is her first year to really pitch. She is hitting 22rps on the RevFire which is nice. We spot pitched her some last year but this year it's her position fulltime. We're really focus on spin though. Game plan was and is to have a nice drop and change. Half the time she bullet spins and the other half a nice 1 to 7 drop. Circle change is becoming her go to pitch when she needs an out.
