4 years and multiple pitching coaches and it's hard to believe that there's no consistency. She seemed like she had one last year off and on. She was devastating when it was on! I feel like college coaches sometimes get set in their ways or are too proud to use a pitch that's 12-14 MPH slower than full speed? My daughter pitched before college (no where as good as your kid!) and was on the same travel team as Emma and Millie Thompson from Clemson and was recruited to pitch at some schools including where she went. After 2 years of not pitching they brought in a new pitching coach who asked her to throw some and what her best pitch was. She showed him (this guy was the University of Washington pitching coach when they had Gabby Plain) and he told her it was an A+ pitch, even though she hadn't pitched in basically 3 years - then he said, "A change-up though isn't a real pitch". I wonder if that's the mentality of these macho pitching coaches who just want to use velocity and sprinkle in other movement pitches? ** Edited by VT_AD at 5/17/2025, 10:51:48 AM
