Double bump. Anyone know who Old Man River is?
I would be interested in knowing also along with who coaching101 is.

Kamero, My dd also had trouble with this bruising her hip. It seems this sometimes happens when pitchers are working on trying to get ball up at 9 O'clock. I think sometimes it is when the pitcher holds the ball up past 9 O'clock which drive the elbow into the hip. We Bucket dads should b careful of how we say ball up at 9 O'clock. We need to emphasize pull the ball down to 9 O'clock then lead with the pinky after 9 O'clock. It is hard to figure out what causes the problem. Video of the pitcher is best. My dd finally got pass this. Hopefully, that helps. I am no expert just a bucket dad.
I thought staying palm up as long as you can to release is optimal, because that's your load?
Yes, but some force/exaggerate leading with the elbow/keeping the palm up. Set up the condition for whip, then allow it to occur. Let whip happen--don't make it happen.
Don't know if you saw the Monday night NPF game between USSSA Pride v Akron Racers but you saw some great brush interference from two of the best professional pitchers out there: Cat Osterman and Sarah Pauly.
