I was reading through the minimum requirements for the National Team and some of the stats seem way out of DD's range right now. The only thing she is close to is the running stats but we've never measured pitching/throwing speeds.
She's a consistent pitcher but not a very fast one because I know there are things she is doing wrong.
She's a good hitter but doesn't hit very far because she doesn't swing fast/hard enough.
DD is 11 playing in 12U and played MS with girls who play 14U. The size difference is kind of daunting.
She's about 80-90lbs (not sure since we haven't weighed her in a while) and under 5ft.
Obviously a lot has to do with puberty and she will fill out more after that but I'm concerned she won't ever be able to hit as hard/throw as hard because she is small.
Are there things she can work on now to get stronger - she's been trying to lift weights and do push-ups but she's not consistent with that.
