Your DD tends to stride out of her powerline. She needs to work on her timing on holding her left side resistance and stand tall at release. She is very close to stridng outside of the width of the rubber which is illegal assuming this was a regulation 24" rubber. Seldom called, but more so lately. She steps back off the rubber, which is allowed in HS ball. Have her open more and less lifting the stride leg.(more out than up).I would suggest more explosion off the rubber and in the open position be more balanced and upright and this could help in correcting the lean going into the release ctfastpitch mentions in his post. This being said, she appears to have a lot of potential.
She had a PC that taught her that sliding move, she wanted her to have a locked elblow and a close position and that is when I decided to cancel her lessons. I am trying to help her until we find a PC that teaches the open style. Yes, there are days when she throws to the right a lot. Yesterday at practice she was throwing to the corners very well, but I still see her leaning. This is her third year pitching, but she was out for a while because an injury on her anckle, not pitching related. Please let us know any suggestion, she reads the site and is very excited about your suggestions....
Thanks Dana for your message.
Dana,it appears that you are getting some good advice on ways to better your DD pitching mechanics. If you could provide more footage, I'm sure that members would be able to help even more.She had a PC that taught her that sliding move, she wanted her to have a locked elblow and a close position and that is when I decided to cancel her lessons.
