Classof2020- The two seamer can break either direction, just depends on where you point the bald spot. So it going in instead of out is not a concern, just look (or preferably capture on video) the spin from the catcher's perspective.
PC- a year later and the two seamer is now her favorite pitch, my favorite pitch, her coaches' favorite pitch. She gets compliments on her "curveball" all the time, which she does not throw She was throwing BP to her sisters' team and the head of the org was making not so subtle recruiting overtures (she plays for a rival org)...when I told him she threw a two seam fastball he was impressed, he said he didn't understand why more girls didn't throw it, in his words it is a "great slider".
So my faith is intact. I still want to get her throwing it so it slides in instead of out, but something else always gets in the way at practice.
Her sister is also her catcher in practice and she was the lone holdout on it actually breaking, she said she just couldn't see it break. At that session where her sister pitched to her team, older sis threw her a steady diet of the 2 seamer. 3 ks later lil sis was a believer
viva la seamer de dos!!
