I know every pitcher is different in coming into their own fruition. My daughter who is 10, has been pitching for about a year now. She has two pitches off speed and fast ball.
I work with her four to five times a week, prac15 minutes a day on throwing the ball in the glove (Hillhouse's method) .
The problem is (It's me for sure, I don't know crap about this stuff) is her consistency with accuracy. Some evening's she hits every target I give her. Other evenings she cant hit the broad side of a barn.
Her best game so far in Summer League has been one game where I did tell her to slow her velocity down and she had a great game. Now the other team did hit off of her well that night but our defense cleaned all that up.
It just seems like she is at a plateau and is ready to go to the next level, but that has not happened yet.
I'm sure it's a process thing plus not getting her to a real pitching coach, which I'm pretty gun-shy with after seeing most of Hillhouse's comments about coaches teaching them bad habits.
Here is a pic of her fastball grip
Will upload a vid of her this evening to show her mechanics
Hopefully yall can point some areas out we need to work on.
Thanks
