All, I need some help, please. I'm looking for any video showing her pitching with IR. A local HS is trying to change a student from IR to HE. They are claiming it's how Jennie Finch does it and "she's an Olympian." If I can show them the facts, I may be able to change their thinking with their younger pitchers.
thank you!

Some won't be able to look past the high finish at the end. She could say she doesn't have Jennie Finch's "style" but throws like the other 5+ Olympians. Sometimes that's an easier concept. By telling them it's a style. Obviously, we know it's not a style but if you don't have the platform and the hours to explain it to them we have to simplify it.

That top one (where Rosey has two) is a perfect example. Finch looks great, and you can clearly see it's IR and no HE.

Good luck. Part of the problem is that Jennie Finch has instructional videos that describe HE, and it's what her father still teaches to young pitchers. People like to use that as their evidence instead of looking at her actual movements in a game.

Is her teaching the biggest WTF in softball? I can't think of anyone else teaching with such a disconnect...

I wonder if anybody has ever asked her about it. I wonder how she would respond to someone asking why she doesn't teach others to pitch the way she pitched (probably in a much nicer way than that).
