A strong wrist means nothing in softball pitching. We have actually tested that.
And please give me some examples of where this pitching has happened when a kid started at 14, because I have only seen it on JV, and the results are ugly and not fair to the girl. I have never seen it at V level, but popularity in softball is dropping in our area in favor of an evil sport with a stick. Again, that means an opportunity exists, not some "wanna do it to stretch myself" idea.
I can't imagine TB being easier to get a coach to believe in you. Maybe 14-17 rec league.
PS> We have an example of someone who started at 14, and sadly, told her she will not be pitching, because we have other options. However, she plays a mean infield so we have a spot for her. And she went to lessons for 2 years and got opportunities to pitch relief for a C team, which resulted in her being pulled regularly. So let's be real.

Bravo OILF...truly good stuff. I can see why the stick sport is so popular in your area.
