    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?

    She is striding, I just think it's not early enough.

    Arm Circle Timing.. how to correct?

    My DD has been pitching for a couple of years now, age 10. One thing I noticed not long ago is her arm position is early in relation to when the foot is coming off the plate, and when her stride foot hits the ground. From what I've read here, arm should be at 3oclock at detach from the plate...

    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?

    Yeah I'm looking into this drill. Did it help much?

    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...

    I agree, but at this level, it seems like speed is all coaches want.

    Perhaps your circle of softball is larger than mine. The only girls who want to pitch but don't are the ones who don't put the work in, so they can't. But I'm sure there are some parents who force it upon their child to do something they don't want to for some reason. Personally, I would love...

    She tops out at about 43mph, but she tends to slow down during real at bats, so more like 39 to 40 in game. She is about 4 foot 9 and may weigh around 65lbs.

    Of course she wants to pitch. lol.. what 10 year old who plays softball doesn't want to pitch. If she told me she didn't want to, I wouldn't be asking this question.

    For those parents who have daughters who were once pitchers, and are no longer pitching for various reasons.. I have a question. What was it that made them decide to stop pitching and go onto another position? Was it that they realized they didn't have it? Or was it because they realized they...
