Daughter was radared for the 2nd time since switching pitching instructors 15 months ago. While I am thrilled with her fastball speed, her instructor told her that she is NOT snapping her wrist when she pitches (has been trying to get her to snap for awhile). Instructor said if she would snap the ball, she would gain 2-3 mph's.
We have been doing the snap drills since we started with this instructor, but DD still doesn't appear to be doing it in her pitch. Also, instructor want her to build strength in her wrists.
I am fine with building the strength, but is there anything we can do to get her to incorporate that snap in her pitch? We do the drills, but that is not making her put it in the pitch. Help! Please!
*P.S. - instructor said it's a mental thing that young girls go thru (turned 14 three months ago/ 8th grader)
