Update on Dd...she has one perfect game vs. Our arch rivals and has hit two homeruns over a 200" fence. Both dead center field. Not bad for a 10y/o. Couldn't be more proud of this kid. All of her hard work is paying off. Her team is 46 games into the season and undefeated. We...are playing...
Great advice Rocketech1..!!! We are on it. We worked really hard on her change up over the winter and it is all paying off. We really worked on selling it, three times a week all winter long. All our hard work is paying off!
Nope! We are in Illinois. A few hours away from Chicago. There are about 5 or 6 girls in this area that can throw in the 50's. Two other girls on Dd's team can.
Will do Coach James. This video was from about three months ago. But you are right, she does lean. Her pitching coach and I are working to correct the problem. These new pitchers can be stubborn sometimes. She is in the 50's as far as speed with a top speed of....well....let's just say...
She is really fast Jad and we originally switched her because she wasn't hitting the ball from the right side. She is right eye dominant and that favors the left side. I think her original coach was thinking slapper, but a month into switching she was doing extremely well for a 8y/o. I have...
We had our first tournament here recently. DD got to pitch 12 innings and recorded 29 k's. We won the tournament and faced some very solid teams. I can't believe how far she has come in such a short time. One proud dad right here!!
She is 5'4" 128 pounds. Pretty big for a 10u. And she is always growing at a ridiculous rate. She is extremely strong for her age. She almost hit a ball over a 220" fence last year at ASA state at 9y/o. Just really proud of her. She loves the game and works really hard.
She did very good last fall with only a month of pitching lessons. I'm really looking forward to this spring. She had gained about 5mph and has developed a change up. Thank you for the kind words. My dd is really getting a kick out of all this!
Actually that is a girl on our team and her mom that you hear in the background. My girl doesn't talk much when she is pitching. She really takes this stuff serious for a 10u girl. I just give the signs, and she does her best to make it happen. She has a really good change up also that we...
The hitting coach we go to is a father/mother team. The dad is the hitting coach and the mom is the pitching coach. My girl would just sit and study what the pitching coach would teach while waiting to hit. Around July last year my daughter was in the hitting cage just playing around...
Hi. I've posed a few times on the hitting side of this site. My girl is 10 and this is her 3rd year of 10u travel ball. We have been working hard on switching her from a right handed batter to a lefty over the past two years and she has been asking to learn to pitch so I figured why not. She...
I'm Curious Westwind, when did you help us with hitting? Take a look at the Usssa site. We did play lots of "A" teams last year. We did 3 ASA tourney and played "A" teams at all 3 of them. If you think that because your team is moving up that there is no more talent in 10u in the area I...
Did you do that with dd westwind? My dd wants to be a pitcher. I think as much work as she put in she has earned the right. She has a guy coaching that has alot of experience and there was drama on last years team. She just turned 10 three weeks ago. I'm in no hurry to move her up early...
Yep. That's her getting set. Can you explain to me what that action actually does to improve a swing? And why it would matter if you did it before or after the ball left the pitchers hand?
