I have seen her throw live.....she can throw! And has success in the games because its seems to throw batter off a bit ....

I was wondering about this factor myself. That delivery has to play havoc on a batter.

I guess there is more than one way to skin a cat....only thing that worries me is she has a pretty bad replant and if the umpires decide to crack down she would have to change her delivery plus hopefully her body holds up it seem like that might hurt and put undo stress on her...best of luck to her.

Anybody notice that her stride foot is on the side of the pitching plate when she goes out? Looks like her foot is touching the plate and ground at the same time. Wouldn't her foot be outside the pitching lane? Any thoughts.

There are also several younger pitchers from that area that throw like that. I'm guessing that they all go to same coach..... My dd was 10 when we first saw her at a tournament. My dd is 15 now. She was like lets try that! me and her dad said NO! at the same time....LOL

From the new article - “Tweed has been dominant on the mound for the Warlassies in three seasons with the team, striking out 545 batters in slightly more than 300 innings, while going 32-16 with a 1.71 earned run average in 50 appearances.”

Is ERA based on a 6 or 7 inning game? Or is it still calculated based on 9-innings? Regardless of base-9 or base-whatever - 1.71 and she still had a 32-16 record. Can we get a little run support here, people? (Says the dad who’s seen a total of maybe 2 HS games in his life...)

I say she's hits 61 in spite of all that other stuff going on because of her good arm circle and whipping action of her forearm.

By the way, notice the illegal hop.

It seems like that would be very hard on her body long term. I imagine she really throws batters off though.
