So my dd pitches. However, right now we are nursing a hurt shoulder and are undergoing PT at the moment. My dd's team was in a tournament over the weekend and we went to support our team. I had fun as a spectator. I walked around watching teams warm up etc. I noticed a team with really strong pitchers and I stopped to watch. Apparently, their PC attends their tournaments. They were really throwing the ball. I later saw this PC and stopped them and said wow your pitchers are really throwing the ball. He said thanks. I said so tell me a little bit about your instruction. He said what do you mean? I said where does the ball face at 9. I said I just love the art of pitching and I love to talk about it. He said it all starts at 12....you throw your wrist upward and cock back your wrist all the way down and snap up. I watched the pitchers on that team and none of them threw that way. So I wonder how much money these parents have spent on this instruction and their dds throw completely opposite of their instruction.
