Here is a video clip of my 14yo DD (turned 14 in June, will start 9th grade this fall). I included slow motion but I don't have a second angle from behind her.
All three pitches are (supposed to be) her fastball.
A couple of things I see.
1.) She's too far forward at the release. We know that one, and she's been working on it but it still looks to me like she needs to be taller at the release.
2) she seems to be turning her wrist and hand over as she comes through the release point. instead of pushing straight through. Her ball has more of a 2:00 - 10:00 spin instead of 12:00-6:00.
3) She's turning her right foot just as she drives off the pitching rubber.
Correct me if I'm wrong on any of these. Any other observations and suggestions for corrections would be appreciated!
Thanks,
