Very informative. My daughter took a step backwards this season. She forgot how to use whip motion. Not using her forearm and snaping the pitch. Ever reason why I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I’m glad that it was helpful! I have seen that a few times too (forgetting to whip/snap), but once pitchers remember and see the difference it makes it really sticks!! Good luck this season!!

Hi Courtney. Very good analysis about pitching speed. I am very satisfied with what you have done with your team. From your analysis I appreciate the notable influence of each of these aspects on the increase in speed, I see it like this: the accumulated energy load in the power position in which the throwing arm is up, discharges on the ball with the greatest efficiency of the rapid lowering of the arm to the point where, thanks to the whiplash that energy, is instantly transferred to the ball by the resistance that the stride leg imposes on that movement, resistance that increases to the extent that stride leg has landed more firmly given its elevation. Now Courtney and other softball lovers, it would be interesting for me to know how the pitch speed influences the pitcher's chances of mastering the hitters, that is to say: how much does throwing faster contribute to the hitter's dominance? Thank you Courtney for all the teaching work you do. It is a very noble work that will always be remembered

Hi Joaquin! Thanks for your comment! To answer your question, pitching speed can keep batters off balance (think of the speed difference between a fastball and changeup) or improve the movement on breaking pitches like curveballs and rise balls to help dominate hitters!

Hi Courtney, so funny, my wife and I were discussing about how for Amelia, yes your former student, how to pitch faster. She just finished her season pitching 117 innings for east catholic. Had great season, made it to second round in states and lost to 2 seed. She is a freshman pitching around 54 and we were just discussing ways to help her increase speed and your you tube popped up on my phone lol

@plusultrapitching 4 месяца назад

Hi Brian- of course I remember you and Amelia. I’m happy to hear that she’s still pitching and doing well! 😊 It sounds like this video was timed perfectly!

How about girls who have no backswing, do you think adding a backswing will result in an increase in velocity

@plusultrapitching 4 месяца назад

Hi Brian, good question. In an N=1 experiment with one of my pitchers, the backswing had no effect on speed. With and without the backswing, avg speed was the same and no observed change in accuracy!

Is wrist snap same as peel drop?

@plusultrapitching 2 месяца назад

The wrist snap I refer to here is how I teach my students to pitch a fastball. The peel drop has a similar but different release. The peel drop is a breaking pitch that will drop as it crosses the plate, while fastballs generally don’t have intentional movement. I hope this helps answer your question, thanks for asking! ☺️🔥
