"we're working on her change up."
I’m with you on that. My daughter just turned 13 and now in 8th grade and during middle school tryouts this summer I watched all the pitchers tryout. Each time, the coach would ask what pitches can you throw. No lie.. this one girl going into 7th grade said: fastball, screwball, curve, drop, change, rise, screw-rise. So she called em out and asked her to pitch each one... every pitch was a fastball. Even the change was a no deception slow off the rubber slow fastball. She didn’t make the team.. probably threw as fast as my daughter.
I used to get worried before “seeing the light” on DFP, that my daughter was behind. We’re gonna do us and keep perfecting hitting spots with fb and developing the change that Coach James taught her. Not even gonna consider another pitch till she can throw her change up consistently. We’re far from consistent right now. Gotta keep grinding.
