How to improve your speed with Coach Jen from Virtual Softball Academy

[@dcbeatty24]

Those are some great drills! Once was a pitcher & it all came natural. It's hard to put skill into words and drills. Thank you for the breakdown! GOOD LUCK to all the young ladies!

I’m a first year pitcher I stepped up to help and be a relief pitcher. I’m 5’7 and 12 and I pitch around 43-45mph but my top is 47mph. For me it was just natural and it just flowed easily. I really enjoy pitching and I’m trying to get better.

[@tudormiller8898]

That's pretty fast. Whoa!!! As a Brit I'm fascinated by the sport of Softball. 🇬🇧

Tudor Miller thank you at least someone appreciate it’s

[@jelenagardner3704]

I’m a softball pitcher around 5 feet tall 180 pounds 13 yrs old and I pitch around 72 mph

[@christopherschwagmeier6020]

72mph you might check that radar gun sweetie... 72mph at 13 yrs old is unheard of.... You will be D1 as a 14 yr old if so 😂

Hi, I have a question. How can I force the K out of my pitching form and how can I swing my arms straight instead of "combing" my hair while pitching. When I pitch, my hips will turn but my upper body doesn't and it doesn't feels naturally to turn my body to the point my shoulder faces the catcher. For the swing part, I do not feel that I'm swinging behind my head and it's kind of frustrating. Thanks :))

[@danmeier641]

The pitcher is on top of the ball at the finish. Where is the hand at release point?

[@VirtualSoftball]

Sorry missed this post - release is at the hip - the position of the hand is actually not a simple question- are you trying to create down (drop) spin? Side spin or back spin - you are touching on a complex question - are we working with a beginner or advanced pitcher?

[@danmeier641]

Both: I have many students. top spin for maximum speed.

[@AJ_2218]

Dan Meier when going all out as a pitcher sometimes you need the break down at the end that twists your hand so that it faces down. When throwing a fastball, palm goes at the catcher at the point of release. Then a breakdown that may or may not twist the hand down...(AKA deceleration will sometimes twist the pitchers hand down)

[@addisonsmith9610]

I was pitcher until some body took my place so my coach thought I wasn’t good enough to pitch lol

[@marycruz1915]

Thats sad I feel like that is going to happen to me

[@delinoissisters1513]

I have something to say, if that was true than everyone would know about it. The ACTUAL FASTEST softball pitch is 77 mph by Monica Abbot

[@burlucky7781]

The camera person is really crazy

[@haroldmolina4322]

ok

[@edwardcarey5530]

Less talk and more pitching

[@DE-kn6td]

This is fake. You can't go faster then your body will let u. If she knows how to pitch very fast then y isn't she on the Olympic team?

[@karrieberg8268]

you are not very intelligent

[@emilywilson6388]

D E you can work on speed it doesn't come naturally,I'm 5'1 and pitch 60

[@keithrobinson9454]

maybe because at the time of this posting, softball had been dropped from the olympic? DOH!

Her form is wrong

[@DE-kn6td]

Nevaeh Terrell it actually is

[@emilywilson6388]

Nevaeh Terrell all people have a different way of pitching

[@kenziepaige4266]

Nevaeh Terrell if her form is wrong why is she a pitcher? Everyone pitches different

[@laurenbelles6850]

I thought it looked weird, but then again everyone has different styles of pitching
