She has to love the game!
She is going to miss alot of functions with her friends because of practice and games.
She has to be willing to put in the work!
Many of the wannabe pitchers fall out at this stage because of the extra 3-4 hours they must practice pitching.
She has to be drivin!
The same girl who thrives on the extra attention and satisfaction of dominating a game from the mound, also must get angry enough to work harder when the batters catch up to her.
She must have a crazy daddy or mommy as sluggers said!
A rational parent would never allow his or her daughter to become a pitcher, it is simply to much stress.
She must be teachable!
The dramatic nature of every pre-teen and teenage girl causes them to have conflict with dad/mom or coach but her desire to be better must outweigh her desire to be right.
She must have a high or above average self esteem!
Lets face it many girls do not pitch because they do not want everyone staring at them when things are going bad.
She must be naive!
Certainly any rational thinking girl would never put up with every thing listed above.
