I didn't care if my daughter EVER threw one. She had one and, on occasion, it would be very effective but she never relied on it. She was a down pitcher. So down, in fact, she had exactly zero balls hit over the fence on her in high school and travel ball. Didn't happen until college and then rarely. A true 6-12 spin is almost impossible to master and you certainly can't do it at mph. The 12-6 for the drop is much easier and you can throw with the same spin. Virtually all rises you see today are corkscrew and, honestly, many are just high fast balls as the physics of the corkscrew/bullet spin isnot going to cause a ball to 'jump'. JMU certainly does have a pitching coach. I've seen Fleet pitch a lot. Some days she's effective but like many HS 'riseballers' she's just not good enough with it to fool collegiate batters out of the zone often enough. Being a collegiate pitching coach is tricky business since virtually all D1 prospects come to campus having been privately coached for many years. Knowing who the prospect's private coach was and how she was coached should be part of the recruiting process. If the collegiate is thinking "I'm going have to fix this kid" the best thing to do is not bring her to campus.
