My DD has been having issues turning her front foot inward on landing. I have noticed that certain pitchers like Ueno actually land with a straight stride foot as well. I also noticed with Ueno, that while she lands with a straight foot, her foot does turn in slightly before landing and then straightens out. My DD does something similar, where it does appear to turn a bit but when she lands, and actually pitches, her stride foot is straight.
I've tried reminding her before each pitch to turn her foot slightly but she is forgetting often. I'm wondering though, is that even important? As long as she's getting somewhat closed while during the pitch, is it ok to land with a straight foot to the catcher?
