8 year old DD pitching(video)

[Schwepped]

Just posting a video of my DD pitching. She just started exactly a year ago and has come along way. I appreciate and comments or advice.

Be prepared for some hello elbow comments.

The video isn't the sharpest but she looks pretty good for 8.

Wow just noticed how bad the video looks once uploaded to youtube.

Go find the threads on IR and start now and say no to hello elbow.

Looks impressive! DD is a pitcher too and utilizes the Hello Elbow. Reading through this forum for the Hello Elbow vs IR discussion is enough to drive you nuts. Good luck to your daughter!

Two quick points: 1. Notice how much her landing leg collapses when it plants and then it lifts up as she is releasing.....this is where her energy source is......should not be there....need better front side resistance so she has something firm to pull against.
2. Notice a forward lean and then as the leg lifting energy source begins, she pulls her upper torso backward....note that she will tend to "yank" a lot of pitches high. Need to create more of a torquing energy source.

This kid looks like a ton of dynamite! Do you happen to have a video of her from the side and up close?

She is a very strong kid for being 8. I don't have any side video was planning on taking some this weekend. From the side I only have this picture.

I noticed at the bottom of that picture that it looks like you have other shots of her pitching. Do you by chance have one where she is at the 9 o'clock position (arm behind her, towards second)? Be nice to see ball position at this location.

This is the only picture I have. My buddy took the pictures and sent me a couple pictures of them on his computer. He hasn't given me copies yet.
