I have a question for the pitchers, coaches, or parents that have raised pitchers. My DD is 9 yrs
old and has been very dedicated so far. I am told she is doing well, and seems to be advanced for her age. She's throwing in the low 40's. Accuracy was there, then we lost it after pitching coach changed machanics a little. We hit a big wall but didn't give up (thought about it though) and it all clicked and we were back. We were introduced the change up. After trying different ways to throw it, found one that worked. Things were still on track. Was introduced the peel drop, she picked up on that really well. When she misses with that pitch at least it is a stike. The problem we are having now is when we are throwing and bouncing between pitches it takes a few pitches to dial back in. She will throw a fastball for a strike, go to a drop or change and they miss, throw it again it's better, throw it again and it's money. Back to fastball, its wild, next one better, next one money. Has anyone expierenced this? Does anyone know any drills that would
help? I was thinking it was a concentration thing. Maybe it's another one of those walls. I don't
know? But she is getting frustrated. Just throwing she would look great. Throwing a simulated type game not so good. Any help or comments?
