I think I know what the general responses are going to be, but I'll ask anyways. DD is a second year 10U, and after about 1.5 years of "hello elbow" based lessons, searching for balls in poison ivy and getting my shins hammered, she's finally at the point where she can somewhat reliably throw strikes, and I daresay, start hitting spots (though she still hasn't been comfortable enough to actually throw to spots in a live game yet). My main concern, however, is speed. She's probably mid-to-high 30s from the pitching rubber, which seems to be on the slow side compared to other pitchers on the team who don't seem to have a problem clocking 40+.
With the end of the fall season, I've started her with a new instructor with internal rotation. Anecdotally, the pitches seem to be much faster, but they're all over the place, and it's almost back to square one. I guess I'm wondering how long this transition is going to take and if it's going to be worth the trouble. She's finally at the point where she's confident, but I'm wondering if I'm wrecking things for her by making the change.
