My lefty 12u daughter often gets mixed calls on outside pitches. She has a curve so they are caught more out sometimes. Some umps give her all of them some none and she ends up walking batters more than normal. When she attempts to pull it inside she can over correct and hit batters. As a lefty she tends to veer to that side of the plate so I anticipate the mixed calls to continue. She can usually correct if she is too high or low for an umpire's zone but left to right is harder.
My question: Is there a fix to bringing the pitch more inside without overcorrecting and sending it too far inside? She has tried scooting over on the rubber and it has helped but many times she is just an inch off from a strike. I am not being picky on umpires, it is their call and I know different angles can make things look different. I would just like to fix this on her end if possible.
Just for reference these are from 2 different games. Both of these were called balls. Not arguing if they are balls or strikes. Just wanting advice on pulling a pitch more inside. Sorry about the pole. Worst seat in the house. You can see where it was caught in the 3rd picture.
