My DD is 12 and has a great handle on a FB and CU and she has been working on the DB.
Her FB is the IR 12-6 spin and we have worked on increasing that spin rate for a DB with tips from here about releasing further back and stopping the arm.
For about 6 months there has only been a slight increase in spin rate and she wasn’t getting the feel but we have just kept at it and work it with the other 2 pitches.
In the last 2 weeks I have seen 3 pitches that were just incredible (to me) spin rates and they appeared to move or just shocked me enough to fool me. The thing is they appeared to be different spins. She also is starting to get some pitches that spin in-between her FB rate, the 3 super spins, and are DB spin as intended and might move a little more than the FB.
When I asked her if she could tell a difference in look and feel she said yes and that they felt smooth.
It is very cool to see a break thru and I’m sure it will just click at some point but I would love to hear some others experience or ideas that might help us figure it out quicker.
Is it just getting the timing perfected? Have others experienced that dramatic uptick in spin rate?
Thanks in advance!
