The biggest problem is, it just doesn't matter how fast you throw.
Can you move it? Can you hit your spots? Congrats you are a pitcher. Everyone else is just a thrower.
Start a new thread. I think it is an awesome idea. Learn to pitch so you can learn to teach. Feeling it makes seeing it and explaining it so much easier.
I respectfully disagree with you. If speed is not important, why should we care about having a strong drive, doing I/R and other mechanical stuff?
You can't, unless the speed is 50-52 or higher. You need spin AND speed to generate magnus effect.
One can hit spots with a slow pitch motion and that will be a nice homerun derby!
I agree speed is not everything... A 70 mph wild pitch is worse than a 45 mph low in the zone, but softball is a game of speed.. You can make things quite more difficult to the other team if you have speed in your pocket. Aroldis Chapman should agree with me...
Her problem is she's averaging a walk and half per inning, so her coach really doesnt give a crap how fast she throws.
