Hey guys,

This is my 8 / 9 yr old dd (bday tomorrow).. I was just wondering how you guys think she is coming along.. Any encouragement / tips would be appreciated.. I wish we could have more room to practice, but being in WI we have to work with what we got.

Looks like she is off to a great start. Looks better than a lot of 10 and 11 year old pitcher we saw this summer and fall.

Do you happen to have anything from the side?

 

[bpeck]

Not at the moment, but hopefully this weekend I can.. its hard to tape her from the side in our little confined space in the basement.

We have the same problem. My son "won" several inflated spiky balls from one of those dumb claw games at the store. They are close to softball size. I drew a stripe around the middle and some dots on the side and found we can work on spins and record against a wall in the house. Good fun and only a dollar each!

We watched your post in the I/R thread.. and just practiced and practiced.. she is the only one on her team that is taught this way.. "the coach said he doesnt like that way she pitches.. "

You know you are doing something right when the Hello Elbow coaches don't like your mechanics!

She looks good. If you can get side video as mentioned by Ken B that would be helpful.
