    Pitcher specific strength training?

    My 15yr old DD has been recovering from bursitis behind the shoulder blade. The orthopedic doctor and PT indicated it was caused from muscle imbalance. They said she was lat dominant and this caused her shoulder mechanics to be off which caused the bursitis. Her PT told me my DD needs...

    Hitting Against Better Pitchers

    We do a lot of Barry Bonds drills or at least that's what I've always heard them called. DBAT has been our preferred facility. After every pitch, she moves closer to the machine. When she's gone as close as she can, she starting working back. Then repeat. She's done that for the last couple...

    Hitting Against Better Pitchers

    appreciate everyone's feedback. I have some good stuff to talk with the DD about. Sounds like I need to be patient and find ways to challenge her and shell be fine.

    Hitting Against Better Pitchers

    YA I know. She's also a new pitcher. Had to make some tough decisions to get mound time. She's steadily making pitching improvements. It may be time to look for an "A" team in the fall.

    Hitting Against Better Pitchers

    Let me clarify. He did tell me it could take a bit to adjust to the better pitching. Currently he's focusing on reading the pitch and pitch selection. reaction time could always be better, but I don't think that is the issue. She's getting bat to ball. Usually fouls one or two and gets into...

    Hitting Against Better Pitchers

    My DD is on her 5th year of TB and is currently 14U. She has mostly played C level ball, but her coach is bringing the team to tougher "A" tourneys. Against C/B teams, she usually bats about .700. These better teams have better pitching. In the "A" tourneys, she's batting about .200. Up...

    Travel Ball is Killing Rec Ball

    Where I'm from Rec ball is different than what I grew up with. It's amazing how many kids in recreational leagues can't catch, throw, or hit a ball. My daughter plays travel ball because there is a vast difference between the two.

    Developing a New Pitcher

    Thanks for the feedback. I get the part about mound time. She is throwing 300+ pitches a week at home and throws strikes when she gets mound time. My DD is putting in the work, but getting mound time has proved to be a challenge. Here current team only has 3 pitchers. I would assume every...

    Developing a New Pitcher

    I've spent a lot of time reading on this forum, but this is my first post. My DD is 12U. She has been taking pitching lessons and throwing at home for a year. Her current team is inconsistent with pitching reps at practice or tournaments. Her team only uses her in bracket play with very...
