Let me get this straight.

So far I have been called "crazy, psycho, clueless and delusional".
I've been told my daughter is ugly and cant throw all 7 of her pitches.

I've never been so insulted.

I'm going back to the Pitching forum, where I'm loved and understood:)

I'm with 4 girls dad. Some of the hand motions for the various pitches are somewhat unorthodox and difficult to master. Many teach additional pitches, or spins, at an early point if nothing else but to get the little ones used to the hand motion. Then as they get older, gain velocity and spin they will already have the motion and the movement will come.

Thats what I did... Always worked on all pitches. She got older (13yr old this week) 12" ball & 5' more to work with. I would edit her video to make her see what I was talking about...

I love reminding 10U parents that its not a drop ball, it's a lack of velocity and gravity. Now go work on your fastball spots and a changeup lol.
