Hello to all, I am Kaylee's dad. I'm fully aware that not all comments will be positive. I know you have to have thick skin and an open mind when you are wanting/receiving input on your DD. We are from a small school in Arkansas and aren't likely to get any recognition outside of our classification. I've read thru the above comments and I see and agree on front side resistance (I know she has started walking thru her finish), as well as understand the credibility of 'command of certain number of pitches'. Kaylee has better than average command of her curve, screw, and offspeed. I would like to add that the other pitches we use are more set up or fish pitches. Drop curve, and a rise ball normally are out of the strike zone, we use those pitches to change the eye level of the batter. I would love any and all feedback. I'm seeing what others think and looking for help to make her a better pitcher. I know there are some mechanical issues that need corrected, and I also am aware of the 'rock back step' is very taboo. I've allowed it because she feels that she creates a little more power doing so, plus it is legal here in High School fastpitch. My buddy that posted this is trying to help us out, he loves my kid and how much time we put into pitching. Kaylee would like to play after High School as most players dream, I'm a realist and I know that to play as a pitcher at the next he it DIII to DI is very unlikely. It's ok, always been a Dream of hers, can't reach the moon without shooting for the stars. Thanks again, Kaylee's Dad, Eddie Hinson.
Welcome to DFP! Plenty of D1’s, D2’s. etc. will be looking at pitchers this summer. Best of luck to her!
