Should a pitcher that pitches IR, and naturally brushes, be brushing when throwing a screwball?
DD was struggling with hers a little tonight. She said something about her arm hitting into her in a weird way, So I said to try throwing it with no brush. Told her to try really stepping out more to her left and just swoop her arm in close to her body , and viola, a good screwball. She threw like 5 in a row that way and all were good. (I'll add that she's just 10 and has not yet mastered this pitch, but was looking more consistent tonight once she avoided the brush)
Looking for guidance on if this is ok or not.
