    DD pitching video progression

    54-56 is what she has pitched. When she went to the packaged deal, she was told that if she get her lower body working more effective, she is going to be really fast. I already know she is all arms and some lower body. What are your suggestions to help fix this? I have already went over the...

    DD pitching video progression

    I think it depends on the coaches on what they prefer. My daughter is been told speed was important by one coach...another coach told her to just get it over the plate and let the defense work for her. It seems confusing for someone who is trying to figure what is the most important thing to...

    DD pitching video progression

    Her curve and screwball is thrown with use of pressure point. So I was informed that it is more of a slider(left and right) than an actual curve and screwball. She hasn't been throwing them much here lately in rec ball due to the sharp break they were taking, resulting in more balls than...

    DD pitching video progression

    Here is a few pitches of dd slowed down. While her speed hasn't picked up, her accuracy has improved. She is at a point of pitching consistently in the upper 50's. Her change up, and drop ball has been working really well for her(She don't have any other pitch besides a slider and she has been...

    Loyalty...it is a two way street

    For the team my daughter played on, the coaches daughter was the best player on the team. The team was also built around his daughter, made up of mostly her friends. I kept the books for the team and knew the stats. Also, I knew who made the most errors but they never sat the bench. Why...

    My 15 daughter batting...any thoughts, advice and/or pointers needed

    My daughter is a beast hitting it off the tee...she can place the ball where she wants deep into outfield or line drive. For some reason, when she is soft toss or live pitched, her bat speed seems to slow down in mid-swing. The only time she hits it hard is against fast pitchers or off the...

    My 15 daughter batting...any thoughts, advice and/or pointers needed

    I am interested in what other people think she needs work in order to be able to be in a line-up on TB? Last TB team she played on, she wasn't even in the batting line-up. So, first goal is to get her to a point where she can be an asset to another TB team...that way when she decides she is...

    Secret to Hitting Against Faster Pitching

    Another way of gaining bat speed is to practice front toss with lightweight softballs. These softballs, often made of foam, are lighter than regular softballs and can be tossed faster. In order to get solid contact, the batter needs quick hands through the zone (fast bat speed) and full...

    I just don't know why she just won't quit

    It would be great if we could find a team that is willing to work with raw talent instead of wanting the already polished player. The main reason we went to a brand new team that just started.

    I just don't know why she just won't quit

    She was mad...She felt like if she didn't play it was because she wasn't good enough to play and she felt that she could work hard enough to earn playing time. She isn't as upset now but still doesn't want to play travel ball until after rec ball is over. She says she just want to have fun and...
