She then is probably one of 3 pitchers in the world who throw this pitch.
Not sure about the world, but she is there because she is very unique to the others... as is the other 3 girls that pitch. HC wants each pitcher to be different. The Two that are similar, he spaces them apart from each other.
That pitch dances, just like How said. Even has a mind of its own. If your mechanics are sound. DD throws it with the intention of it going straight across the plate... give or take the wind conditions, it does something different just about every time. It's her CU....But she takes nothing off of it at all. Its the pitch that has them jumping out of the box if it starts inside. Now you know that's not every girl... but all we need is Their Coach to yell at one of them to not jump out, and the rest start freezing up...She throws it hard,and straight, knowing if it breaks inside, its not goin to hit them. We also are very alert as to the weather now...and whether we are on a Pitchers or Hitters Diamond. So we never warm up in the same place. We match the conditions of the diamond, and go right to that pitch to see what the Good Lord is giving us that day.

Sorry to get off topic, but she is just 10u...little early for the rise, though she does have one, just not the bent finger yet... cause she is just throwing the 11" I think she'll need to use the bigger ball to get the action... not the speed :{))
