I have a 12 (LL 11 year old) year old pitcher. This is her second year pitching in our 9-12 LL softball leage (we have 4 teams in this age group, 40 feet, 12" ball).
She is very accurate....her speed is about 42-43 MPH. She is 5 Ft tall.
hips turn to ~ 45 when she pitches. drag foot approach with a very simple "rock back" pre-motion.
She a minimalist when it comes to motion. Not sure exactly how long her stride is, but it isn't very long. Her arm speed is also not very fast. Pitches well considering how little she moves.
Any ideas how to work on a longer more aggresive motion?
Her concern is that if she really moves faster harder faster she will lose her accuracy.....
