Is hitting off a pitching machine necessary?
i think you need both front toss from coach and Machine. If your machine can consistently pitch at a good speed to roughly the same area the girls learn to fully release through the ball. With front toss you can hit inside out side but a little tougher to get some girls to release through the hit.- Dn5lang

This allowed her to become better on the Bteam and had to pitch her way out of trouble as there was limited pitching help. As skills improved...- Dn5lang

Pitching drills for inside the house.
you both need to learn by mistakes. Not to the point she hurts herself. I look at my oldest daughter who is a D1 pitcher. Had a bad release at age 10. That release was later made into a weapon (nasty screw ball). Her coach went with it instead of trying to fix it. All the mistakes , different...- Dn5lang
