    What can you do with a hitter with quick hands, a good swing, but can't time a ball up to save her life??

    Thank you. We did this for a week and she actually did a lot better last toruney.

    You always toss out judgemental remarks to people who you don't know and is looking for help?

    She is early in slow pitches and late in fast ones. Basically she is guessing

    Frustrated parent here. DD has a good swing, good power, hits lead off due to speed, but cannot time worth crap. Parents and coaches have suggested things like tennis ball hitting off the bounce etc, but for my DD those things arent helping. I'm almost to the point where I want her to quit...

    Critique my 12u pitcher

    I see you are using that stick trick for the hopping. What I used instead was a piece of cardboard, and the goal was to drag the piece of cardboard from the plate to the end of her pitch. Also, another thing that causes the hop is the fact that you need to try to keep your drive leg knee...

    Arm Circle Timing.. how to correct?

    When to start MISSING the strikezone~

    Interesting post. I think the when is whenever you start playing at a level where strikes, even at the edge of the zone are getting pummeled. The why is answered by the when I think. I just saw a video of Sierra Romero taking a ball over the fence, where the pitcher basically located it...

    At what point do you, or you DD decide that she's not going to make it as a pitcher?

    Told my dd many times how amazed I am at her bravery to be a pitcher in that circle while everyone is watch you. Definitely did not get that from her dad.

    Drills to correct arm circle timing?

    My DD has always been early with her arm circle in relation to her push off the plate. From what I've read, your drive foot should be coming off the plate at around 3 o'clock. My DD is almost at 12 o'clock. I've tried different queues to help her, even incorporating a backswing thinking that...
