Yesterday, in the yard, DD had a break-thru! She was really whipping the ball and finishing belly button to chest. It’s like she finally got it. Just to explain what we do each practice..after warmups, we go to 9:00 drill, then show it, walk thrus, then full pitching. I wish I had my wife film her pitching yesterday, because she really trusted and felt the brush interference and was whipping and had excellent control. Today, I get my wife to record in slow motion and it seems like she doesn’t have it again. Below, I’ve posted a YouTube link with several slow motion pitches. I know she’s not finishing her drag and meeting at the knees (she was doing great at that, but it seems when you fix one thing, other things fall apart). I know she doesn’t have the ball up at 9:00 during her pitch, but does on the 9:00 drill...how can I reinforce that concept? It’s just frustrating because everything was clicking yesterday, and today it’s not. This is my thinking on the pitches in the video (but I could be way off): I think she’s showing some whip and IR, but not to the extent that she’ll realize her full potential. I’ve also included a YouTube video of one pitch that I shared with the forum back in July 2018 for reference where she was. Thanks in advance to you guys for helping a dad out.
