What do you all feel is the best progression in terms of different pitches. As it stands right now, my dd has just added a change up to her fastball and she is a natural at it. Like all young kids she sometimes leaves that change up hanging in the air sometimes but most of the time she has practiced enough to where its a consistent pitch for her and should be very effective in fall play.
How long do you feel a pitch should be worked on before another pitch in introduced? What should be the 3rd pitch she adds when we do move forward? I planned on having her keep perfecting her change up and working on it hard, as well as developing the speed of her fastball through Novemeber. Then I was thinking of adding a drop ball and working it hard from December until probably March/April.....at which point ( assuming it was ready and consistent) she could use that 3rd pitch in summer tournaments.
Thoughts? If you agree with the progression of Fatsball, Change Up, Drop................what is the next pitch after that you feel we should add? Of course that is a ways off but Im just curious to everyones opinion. We already have a progression we plan to follow but I know everyone is different.
