Can we talk "low" riseball

coach james said:

I believe you're most likely seeing a good high fastball. Which is effective for sure, however the ball MUST be traveling at least 55ish to fight gravity. When she gets to around 14U, you'll start seeing 55-60 mph rise balls. Those are mind blowing the first 3000 times you see them, and still hard to comprehend after 9000 times!

My DD's rise took off as a senior in high school. Before the season began she and her catcher began working it into the pitch calling. Time and time again the catcher would call it, knew it was coming and it still hit her in the top of her catchers mask. The coach asked her what was wrong and she said I have no idea my hand will not go where I want it to. I know it's going to be higher, and I move my hand up but it still hits me in the head. Lol
