My youngest DD plays on a U12 team that has a hard throwing pitcher that presses harder and harder the more she walks/ hits batters. With my oldest DD who pitches we used several different approaches when she would drift from the strike zone. One of which was a sequence of counting, while pitching, (Her first pitching coach used the sequence when teaching) 1) being the negative move or back arm swing/glove to the side, 2) would be the drive forward or up/out movement, and 3) would be the down/release. If it was side to side issues we used cues like power line and maybe point the glove(to stay open). All of which help her focus and she now uses occasionally to self correct. Just looking for other focusing/pressure relieving ideas.
