Does anyone know why a pitcher throws the same speed (58) while not giving a whole lot of effort and then when she explodes off the mound and increases her arm whip speed she still throws 58-59? The object of the drill is to keep that same relaxed feeling of not giving too much effort and carry that into when she starts giving it her all. We are just working with some different ideas to get her speed up. I just found it interesting that she can throw 58 without any effort, but when going full force she stays at 58 or 59. All of her mechanics look good, we are working on leg drive and keeping her arm relaxed. She has a good size muscular frame and very strong legs, 5;8".
Thanks for any ideas or help.
