"both throwing fastballs around 62 & 63 mph"
Yep, speed is never the issue when you are throwing 62+ mph.
"Both are so successful because of how they move the ball and hit their spots"
.......and throwing 62+ mph. If they were throwing 5-6mph less they would both be pitching at a d2 school and none of us would have heard of them.
"I’m a Dad of a flamethrower who took a LOT of lumps because she didn’t get much movement and couldn’t hit spots. Spin it to win it!"
These are not mutually exclusive. Your DD didn't struggle with movement and hitting spots because she was a flamethrower. You can still struggle with movement and location as a non-flamethrower. I think the best course of action for any pitcher is challenge yourself to get better in all 3 areas.
Love the discussions. I very much benefit from this site. Thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge.
