1) what about who don't uncoil too early?
2)They could still be susceptible to off speed pitches if not patient enough to wait
1) that's very rare
2) holding the 'coil in' = wait = stay back. There is no other way to wait.

We'd be tipping our cap a lot pattar, they are throwing their change up as strikes and hitting their spot too low in the zone. But I know what you mean, I ask my DD to selective on the first strike as wellThe other thing, which I tell my DD all the time, is don't bother swinging at changeups with 0 or 1 strike. Sit fastball and if they throw an offspeed for a strike tip your cap.
It's hard to say if the pitchers are so good as her... but 75% of the teams they face in tournaments have pitchers who can bring it.couple of questions for further clarification. you show a good 16u pitcher, is your team 16u and facing high level clubs like the pitcher you show? When your daughter struck out 11 times on a changeup how many of the other 22 strikes were swing and misses on a changeup?

Just for clarification you are were the one suggesting that a hitter 'sit' on a change up and react to the fastball. I just pointed out that is not a good ideal.If a pitcher is throwing the change up 50% of the time, the I see no reason to sit. However I guess this would be a band aid fix
