DD has started taking the ball out over her head and has been hitting her side. Elbow looks horrible. Suggestions to fix this issue. Thanks

DD ran into this when working on getting palm up at 900. She then focused on getting bicep pointing at third base at contact with the hip and eliminated the problem.

Does she do a backswing? Typically if the backswing doesn’t go straight back where the catcher can see the ball the entire time it’s gonna be off track throughout he pitch. Make sure she doesn’t turn her chest back towards throwing arm side during the backswing

She doesn't use a backswing. Talked with an athletic trainer on the phone today and he said, she maybe becoming a little lady and her hips maybe getting wider therefore she is hitting her elbow now. I refuse to believe this. LOL. Elbow looks bad but doesn't hurt unless she hits it.
 
Does she do an out-of-glove pre motion? If so,make sure the ball hand stays in the glove until at least 3 o'clock....maybe even a fraction higher. The glove should guide the ball hand on the correct arm path such that the ball passes over the throwing shoulder. Is she isn't doing an out-of-glove pre-motion....I recommend trying it.

Thank you, went back to basics and talking to her about keeping the ball in the glove longer really cleaned her deliver up.
