My dd is a rookie pitcher. She has been working faithfully since the end of last season to learn to pitch. This spring she has started to pitch to her first batters. She immediately tries to kick everything into a higher gear when facing a batter. The result? You may guess, and you are correct.
The mechanics go out the window, and the ball goes nearly everywhere but across the plate. The girl is fast, but what to do? My only thought is that the more she pitches to batters, the more she will calm down and allow her mechanics to return. Her pitching coach is excited about her potential (she's 12), but does anyone have any ideas to help her cool her automatic desire to amp everything up when she's in the circle pitching to a batter?
