I am so confused on how to approach my 10u pitchers lessons now.Her instructor teaches the arm straight,elbow pointing at the catcher finish for a fastball.She is struggling w/this style but when she throws it correct the ball drops off the table at the end of the pitch.1outta 10 are good pitches
When she throws the fastball like recommended by Bill Hillhouse in his videos(which is ir right?).Her speed and accuracy is off the charts for a 10u beginning pitcher but the ball spins like a bullet w/no movement.7 outta 10 are good pitches.
If the fast ball isn't being used after 14u isn't the movement pitch what you want to strive for long term.So the 6-12 spin is the right method correct because of the movement.
I am seriously struggling with this because she is almost game ready w/one method and light years away in the other.If i listen to the instructor obviously she says her way is best long term.But when i watch the videos( of ir like suggested of the best pitchers)they don't finish elbow at the catcher and we are having success in the backyard w/there release.
If my head is spinning with all this information i can only imagine what it is doing to my daughter.I need some clarity on this.It sure sounds and feels like the proper way long term is the ir method.Because of her immediate success at it.
