My DD is 13 playing on a 12u B team. She's a good athlete and has played most positions in tournament ball except pitcher. She was given a chance to pitch over the weekend. She wound up pitching 11 straight innings in back to back games. The last four innings of our second game and then the championship game. She gave up two hits and one run.
Her only pitching experience is one or two innings per week in league play but something has kind of clicked the last month. Now she's throwing fairly well but needs refinement and more pitches than a fastball. I've been asked to take her to a pitching coach.
As a parent that is new to pitching what advice would you give me when working with my daughter and a pitching coach? I feel like I'm way behind the 8 ball with my knowledge of pitching. I feel like she's way behind on her pitching development.
