    Parents holding kids back a year in school

    My daughter is a kid October birthday and is a Junior in high school and will be in college at 17. We did this because she was ready to be there. We never thought about sports in making this decision.

    Unfortunately to your point this an older set up and hand goes up and ball comes out. I think you are right with the machine causing fundamental misses but again she came out of that lesson feeling good. Followed up the next day with me and her just tee and front toss

    I definitely understand your point. As far as confidence I think in a lot of cases you could be correct but on this occasion it was not. We will continue doing tee work and front toss but this being brought in every now and then not going to complain.

    I am also not a fan of the pitching machine but I do think it has its place. All of those videos I posted last time were of the machine and DD hitting coach is only using it to replicate speed.

    Thanks for the feedback and compliment. She will continue to work hard, and I am sure of that.

    Agreed. I am always telling her that the bottom half needs to explode. "DD you need that load and explode to feel like your back knee is going to come out of the skin." LOL see it 10% of the time and those are the off the fence shots rather than the base hit with it could have been so much more...

    This is great. I will show my DD this and I think this something she can achieve.

    My pitcher is afraid to field her position.HELP

    I do not mean to ask the obvious but why was she not wearing a mask? 11 years old my DD team had everyone including outfield wearing them. I would start with tennis balls throwing hitting ect and get her comfortable with being hit again the fact that she is getting out of the way makes me...

    I apricate the feedback. Yea I think that is where there is disconnect. Instructor wants her tall on the upper half and preaches the knob to the catcher during load which I think in my DD mind means hands back during load. They are not saying that it is wrong so makes it tough.

    Hey all been doing step backs as everyday off the tee. and started going to the cage 4 days a week rather than the backyard work that we were doing a majority of the time. I thought her seeing more front toss would only help. Here is some video from this past week lesson.

    Thanks for the advice. A couple of things I think creates the separation of the arm. Hitting coach really wants her knob at catcher which I think causes this. As far as sitting she is tall as you can see and for the longest time before she grew she was told to stay tall. I will do some step back...

    I just was reading over this again and her hitting coach tells her to get the knob to the catcher and get bat flat on high pitch. I think this leads to that.
