I made the DD take 6 weeks off from pitching, as 2020 will have her on the mound a lot. Weather in Georgia is abnormally warm so we pitched yesterday for the first time.
We warmed up playing catch, then with limited motion IR drills. Then a few more "gentle" drills, then yet more drills. Finally after about 30 minutes we tried a full pitch.
First pitch -- hits a tree about 15 feet from the plate. We'd never hit that tree before, even when she was a complete beginner.
We both laughed and kept going.
Only did about 15 full pitches, and towards the end she was humming them in there as if she hadn't taken a break. Lessons start back up in 2 weeks, first tourney in late Feb.
We're both eager to get back at it. Rec basketball has been fun, but certainly isn't her forte.
