Yes, she already received the lecture about her throwing hand. It's my biggest pet peeve and she'd never brought it out like that before so I put a quick stop to it and haven't seen it pop out since. Of course, after my lecture with her I notified her catching coach so she had to hear it from her too.

Warrior Mike, I would have here work on the presentation. I would not give her that pitch as an ump. She has turned her hand to frame a ball and has a bad lean which leads me to believe low and away. Have her work on receiving in a athletic catchers position and rotating her hand around the ball to present. Her thumb should almost always be at either 12 or 6 o'clock position and stick it. Do not have her frame bad pitches once she has the reputation for only presenting good pitches she will get a lot more calls to go her way. She also needs to climb up in with the batter about 2 feet. Her glove should almost be able to touch the batters thigh to be in nice and tight. This pitch is more likely to be called if she receives it before it drops. Looks like lots of up side to this young player. Work hard on her technique that is what I look for when identifying talent. Keep the pictures coming and make sure she is having fun.
