Ok there is a bunch of exacrating going on in these comments most ten year olds (competitve pitchers anyway) pitch from the mid fourties to low fifties and eleven year olds usually pitch around the same but a little lower then they did when they were ten because of the bigger ball. twelve year olds usually throw from low fifties to high fifties honestley in like oveer 200 games in 12u i have never seen anyone throw faster than 57mph and @ protizoea123 it doesnt matter if she bends her leg or not
your my role model! im 10, ahha. i love your grunt! (not being mean) but i have a question.... why do oyu grunt after the pitch but not when you release? a girl on my team does that :)
well..i yell after my pitches too! so dnt feel bad! when i yell its bc i am letting all my air out of my lungs and it forces my to be faster! so dnt sweat it! keep up the good work!
her back foot is bending. it needs to be straighned and it will go faster like 5 miles faster. trust me! im 12 and i can pitch 65 miles an hour. trust me ik!
You say you are 27 years old on your profile? You are very immature for your age. Your mother should have taught you "if you can't say something nice, do not say nothing at all"
If you are really 27 years of age like your profile says then 1) you are very immature, and 2) I hope some day you will grow out of hating on people. You must be a very angry person.
I hope you have a great day, and good luck to you!!!!!
To be honest you are completely correct, I was in an awfull mood yesterday and I apologize for my statement, I am not 27 so I need to fix that, but good luck on your pitching and sorry for the inconvinience
I will not respond to your "idiot comment, I ould love to invite you to a batters box though, and after I sit you down, then I would ask you how much of an idiot do you think I am. I am now 14 years old. Surely you are not 23 years old acting that way, are you? But I would still offer you that same challenge. Batter Up!!!!!!!!!!
Dont worry about what anyone says, theres nothing wrong with a grunt when you pitch.... but just be careful because someone might get upset if its a while after your release... they might think its to distract the batter. Anyways keep up the good work, you look great! (btw im a softball pitcher too!)
My 10yo daughter has had a grunt for 2 years when pitching. I notice when she doesn't grunt,she throws slower. I know she is really putting her full effort into the pitch when she does grunt. Her coaches all tease her, but when they see the increase in speed they generally encourage the grunt. The grunt is generally noticed upon release of the ball and for the comment about discouraging it, he has obviously never seen some top level pitches pitch in person, such as Lisa Fernandez.
There would be nothing wrong with the grunt or yell if it happened at the time of release instead of after. The "grunt" is actually caused when the force of contraction of the abdominal muscles is so great that air is expelled out past the vocal chords. This is simply yelling for effect.
You have to understand that this is video and sounds do not exactly match the motions. I understand what you are saying. I have tried to stop "grunting" but it is more of just happening instead of on purpose. I have been rideculed a lot on the mound for this. I will always be some sort of noise maker while I pitch, and by the way I grunt when I swing the bat, so I hope you do not think that is for an "effect" also.
I disagree with yankeeG I have pitched all through high school and one many awards plus I pitch at the college level I do not know who informed you that the "grunting" is not allowed ever since I was 12 I have done this it helps me pitch faster (no joke) I can assure you that it isnt illegal to do this. I have played softball all over the United States and have never been told to stop. Not only is it effective but I intimidates the batter. KEEP GRUNTING GIRL
It's bush league. She does it well after she releases. It's clearly meant to distupt the hitter. If I was the opposing manager, I would be all over the Ump, and be taping it for the league offices.
And it just sounds DUMB, girl. I did not allow it on any of my High school teams. I coached/managed fast pitch teams, Men's and women's, for over 15 years.
Ond oh, that is not a 'grunt', from the gut, like when you row a boat- it's an "EEE-AT", well after the ball has left the
1. you dont know me so dont call me dumb !!!your supposed to be someone a little girl can look up to.. so have some respect cause you sound like an idiot!!
2. i have been playing softball for over 15 years
3. if you are a good coach you should teach your batter to not listen to things that are happening around then and concentrate on hitting the ball...
Yelling uses the muscles in your trunk to provide more power as you twist and bring the ball to the release point. My daughter (11)does this off and on, but mostly only in a game. A wild guess, but I bet the improved form you're talking about is getting your drag foot planted faster, thus getting your hips through.
Check out Baileys vid's, and yeah you're doing great for 12.
you are VERY good at 12. and for those who dont know, the yell is known as a kiup in martial arts, which is a short yell which causes a burst of power. for the one who said it is not necessary, you should try it, because it could make your good pitch great. and its very cocky/ignorant of them to say "i pitch and i know its not necessary." it might just be jealousy. dont sweat it, and good luck with whatever you're doing in softball.
I get y u yell i pitch and i dont quite yell like that but i completely understand that it helps you with momentom (spell?) but anyways you're really good for your age... WOW!!
I used to do it when i first started to help me get it 30 feet.lol Then the more i tried to throw harder the louder it got, now it might just be habit. I once seen weight lifting on tv and seen they yell when the lift the weight?Sorry
im a pitcher too. and the yelling might not be necessary but it might help her pitch better. if she is pushing to stride as hard as she can then she might grunt or yell, thats just because of the effort she is putting into it. i grunt only when i am pushing as hard as i can.
also speed really isnt all that important if you have good movement

actually that can't be called as distraction to the batter.
now if you were to pop your gum while pitching, you may get called on that ;]
