But here's where common sense comes into play. It's safe to say that the DDs of 99% of the posters here are not (yet) at the respective levels of the model pitchers. Doesn't it stand to reason that the world's elite pitchers can achieve great success with styles that do not fit our 8u/10u DDs?
I agree. My question is more in line with Boardmember's point that the glove hand may be a no teach (let the glove hand do what comes natural to the respective pitcher). There are several threads of parents asking for reviews of their DDs pitching and invariably, you will see the comment that she needs to stop swimming her glove hand. I am seeking input on whether swimming of the glove hand is something I need to start working with my DD on. DD and I refer to the Model pitchers thread frequently to compare our progress. She sees, as I do, that many of the pitchers in that thread are swimming their glove hand... ...or am I missing something like the glove hand typically swims on a particular pitch, like a curve ball?
