I thought Alabama had an unofficial height rule?
Ideal height for pitchers?

I looked at Trilicek's mechanics earlier this year, not ideal by any measure. She hasn't had a lot of success so far. Here is a link to her recruiting video, the pitching starts at about 2:45.
Not gonna comment on her mechanics other than I agree with ArmWhip and the post release motion and movement )of her arm and body not the ball) are kinda funny when viewed together with the captions on the screen.
What I was immediately struck by even though it's not the subject of this thread is the style of the video itself. Seems like we were always told to not use music (and to keep the length much shorter (2 - 3 minutes) which could be more difficult when your DD played multiple positions and had a good bat. The video above is over 8 minutes. Obviously it didn't hurt her recruiting! Good for her!!

Texas Gatorade Player of the Year
DD never played against her but when I saw her pitching at the Boulder IDT her junior year, I was like WOW! She was throwing some serious gas. I believe she played her last summer with Batbusters Stith.ds Assuming Walton had something to do with that. She looks like she was in 14u at the time of the video. She is must stronger and well built now.

hence the non-relevance of any recruiting video
Geez. Tough crowd.

All that = Not a lot of success? Wow, I would be ecstatic if my DD could accomplish even half of that. What does it take to be recognized as having a lot of success around here?
