If you asked me before summer, I would say D’s Change-Up was not good. She could never get the speed off. She spent a lot of time and hard work. As a result,

she got the MVP at a showcase tournament because of her Change-Up. Other coach even said, none of our girls are able to hit it.

But we all know that she hates the screwball! LOL
That is absolutely true....This summer D was playing a travel ball team that all but 3 girls had already played their first year of college. During the game, #3 batter hits a home run on the first pitch #4 comes up, she hits a home run on the first pitch. It didn't bother D at all. Why? Because they were off the screwball. That pitch works well for younger players but against 1st year college girls, not so much. D's team won that game 4-2...she didn't throw any more screw balls either.

IMO the change is one of the most under rated pitches. I see lots of girls moving into 16u without an effective change up and they get hit hard against good competition. If my DD didn't have a change she would be in real trouble. Congrats to your DD in working to get an effective change.
