I was curious on this subject of pitching signals from coach to catcher. My daughter is 9yrs old and has really moved along in pitching, She has only been doing it since Oct 2019 but she has really taken a liking to it and always challenges herself without me asking its awesome. Her Current max is 42mph, We have been training extra hard on accuracy. I am not in the mindset to jeopardize accuracy for speed. For example once she reaches a new max speed, we work on making sure she can hit her corners and pitchers roughly 90% of the time, once she achieves that we'll work on bumping up the speed, then move back to accuracy drills, repeat.....
But along the way she has perfected her Fastball,2 Changeups and drop ball. I have NO earthly idea on how she perfected the dropball so quick and easy but she has. Pitches she can throw are the following, Fastball, Circle changeup,Cup change up,Dropball,Curveball,Screwball,Hit all her Corners.
Whats the best way to signal to the catcher, or would ya'll just revert to a wrist coach???, I understand in 10U All she'll need is just a good fastball and changeup BUT i would like to get my group of girls 1 step ahead if possible.
