My dd did wrist snaps her entire career. Even after I told her they were not necessary. She said it helped loosen her up and she liked them. So they certainly didn’t hurt her. I think she liked the 5 minutes of just her and her catcher being close and talking and getting mentally ready.
I think that’s a lot of pitching for 8. I’m not so worried about injury as I am about burnout. In my opinion, if you are trying to solve a fundamental mechanics issue (bowling) I would work on that but not pay attention to balls and strikes. Fix the mechanics and strikes and power will follow.
Also and it’s probably just me. But you need to take me and I out of this process. “I am practicing” “I am working on” … this is her journey and the younger she feels like it’s hers. The better it goes later.
