My 12 year old DD is having trouble over the past 2 weeks with keeping a consistent arm speed with her fastballs. She has been clocked at 54 mph, so we know she has it. Sometimes her arm speed slows, then when the speed comes back up, she starts throwing high. We know it is not because she is tired because at tonights lesson, her last 30 pitches (speed pitches, throwing 30 in 3 sets of 10, as quickly as possible) were her fastest. This was pitch number 120 thru 150. Her instructor wants her to work on arm speed consistency this week. After warm-ups, drills, and pitching to get loose, she is to pitch a wiffle ball, then a 9 oz. ball, then resume pitching with a regular ball, focusing on arm speed. Does anybody else have any tips?
She pitches, uses the Finch Windmill, and 1 lb. weight 5 days a week. Anything else?
