I Thought I would post a short video of a young lady I have been working with since November of 2014. Really happy with where she is at mechanically seeing is how she had never pitched before last November. Curious what everyone thinks, and yes I have permission to post her video...
Just wanted to say that I just got done watching the new video from Bill Hillhouse. The knowledge and simplicity of it is outstanding. I just wish he would have done some demonstration in the video. That was one of the things I was really hoping to get with this video. There are so few high...
I noticed that Doug Gillis will be holding a coaching clinic in Indy. I will be going as I have wanted to see what he has to offer for some time. Has anybody attended one of his clinics?
been messing around with using my daughters Iphone, not sure about the quality, but it is very handy. Of course any thoughts on mechanics are always welcome.

Thought I would change the subject a little. In the past we had never been in favor of wrist snap(or finger snap, which ever you prefer), but we have changed are thinking after finally finding an instructor who pitched in D1 and then professionally. Been working with her for 6 weeks and the...
Thought everyone might like to take a look at this girl. She is a Sophomore from south central IL. I have seen her pitch a few times over the past few years. She throws low to mid 60's with good movement. She has verbally committed to Arkansas. Our H.S. team is in the same conference with them...
Was wondering if anyone has seen or know anybody you has used this? Thought I would change things up a little and talk about training aids. I am not big on them except a few, but I came across this just last night for the 1st time.

Thought I would post a video of a young lady who is a Sophmore in H.S. still 15 I believe. She has recently signed a letter of intent to play at Missouri. Some of you may know who she is as she was the number one recruit for the class of 2013. Missouri, Arizona, UCLA and others were interested...
Just thought I would change up things a little. Rick, I am best friends with the coach of the 14U Shamrocks and he has been telling me about this pitcher he has. I won't mention her name since she is only a freshman in H.S. and I don't know her personally. But he sent me an email this morning a...
I wanted to post a slo motion front view. Sorry for the sun glaring off the car hood, I didn't realize it until I uploaded it. We worked this week on not flying out with her glove arm, looks pretty good, but could be better I guess. I do notice she is still crossing the power line with her left...
Just got this camera yesterday and wanted to try it out, see what everyone thinks about the quality and any comments on Erin as always, hopefully she is correcting some of the problems she was having. Thanks again for all of the hard work here, it is a wealth of knowledge and is greatly...
My DD has been asking me some questions and one of them I am unable to put it in the correct words or am explaining it wrong to her. She has been looking at videos of the best pitchers along with stills from their motion, and she can't seem to bring her drive leg to the proper position prior the...
This probably stupid question but I heard something for the 1st time the other day. I was told that if a pitcher is also playing volleyball that she should taking pitching easy while she is playing volleyball. Problems with the shoulder could arise if she is pitching at top speed during...
Well thought I would post a new video of my DD she turned 14 yesterday. We have been pitching 3 times a week only, she started basketball 3 weeks ago so not allot of time. Anyway we have been working on getting the arm to 9 o'clock at heel plant, still not quite there but getting better. If you...
Ok, first off I know that mechanics do matter. But as my DD and I were watching the H.S. All American game, she asked me the question... " do mechanics even matter? why do I work so hard at the proper mechanics when so many very good pitchers have horrible mechanics?" Now of course she asked...
Just wanted to give a word of thanks to this forum and the wealth of knowledge here. And a big thanks to Rick and Sarah Pauly for the outstanding video they put out. We got it a month ago and we have seen great strides in arm whip and speed(only 51-53 at this point). Of course we know she has a...
great forum here, have read for a little over a year now and I have to say, some great pitching minds here. Bill, thanks for the glove for my daughter for Xmas, it came in on time, and also for your videos they are great. OK here is a short vid of my 13 year old Daughter, any comments are more...
