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...

    Pitchers' fielding duties

    I am curious to what you expect your pitchers fielding duties once they pitched the ball? I have heard that the pitcher just pitches the ball and to let her infield work. Why overwork the pitcher, right? Then, I heard the pitcher becomes part of infield once the ball is release...even the area...

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

    Should pitchers bat?

    My husband and I always disagree when it comes to my daughter working on batting. He says that dd should not practice batting on her own time just pitching. He says her batting is just fine and besides, as a pitcher, she is not expected to be able to bat. They don't do it in professional...

    Any advice, tips or thoughts on DD

    I have posted before of my daughter pitching and have used some of the input from members. The only thing we didn't change was the no arm swing, we actually have tried to add one to dd pitch but it messed up her timing. She kept pitching too high. I have been lurking and was interested in...

    Power hitters vs contact hitters

    I was just curious to find out what other people think about the power hitters vs contact hitters. If you had two players trying out and you only have one position, with everything else equal except the hitting. Which one would you pick and why?

    Completely lost when it comes to pitching

    Outside of the pitching fundamentals, I am completely lost when it comes to pitching. My dd is interested in being a pitcher and this is her 2nd year using the windmill style of pitch and her first year of getting any lessons from a pc. She had 8 lessons so far. I don't know if she should...
