I had the first chance last night to see DD pitching from some other position than behind the plate. It was from the dugout during a scrimmage for TB, and I noticed what her PC was saying earlier in the day - she's bending over a the waist to deliver the ball. Like the title says, it looks like she's bowling. She did fine - threw strikes, got the outs, control OK, speed normal.
She just recovered from a broken pinky finger on her pitching hand and hasn't pitched for about 1 month, but we were doing "dry" pitches to keep her muscle memory. Also, right before that we abandoned learning the leap and drag since it was really getting ugly and messing with her control and speed. We decided to go back to the step and slide (?) when the finger got broken. I don't believe she's pushing or guiding the ball, but it did look bad from the side.
What drills can I do to get of the bending issue?
