Hi,this is my first post,I've been reading through a lot of the post on here and have a few questions.
I have been coaching rec.ball for a couple years and just got nominated as Head coach on a new travel team. DD has been pitching about a year and taking lessons for about 9 months. Her fastball is fairly accurate but she lacks speed,she hasn't ever been gunned so I will just guess that it's 35 to 40. What are some drill to increase speed? Her pitching instructor has her doing her wrist snap where her arm comes straight up towards her ear. She has a change up which is ok,and has just started to learn the riseball which is all over the place,but I don't think that she has the speed to throw a rise yet. That being said what drills are good for the rise and should I question the release/wrist snap that her instructor has her doing?
Any and all advice is welcomed....
