SOFTBALL fast pitch advice.?
Question:I haven't been pitching for too long, I was always the one that would pitch if we were up by 20 runs. I could get it over the plate, and it was in the strike zone 90% of the time.
NOW, I'm on a not-so-good team and they have made me their main pitcher. I know everyone has their own way of pitching, and you can't really desribe it over the computer... But if you have any pitching tips or advice, please share them with me.

One small bit of advice; You really don't want your pitches in the strike zone 90% of the time. You will get creamed! Learn to "move" the pitches, in, out, up, down and such. Don't try and develop more pitches than you need, maybe a drop, or change, but at least a good rise ball. If you are able to place a fastball on and off the plate at will, you can control the hitter!

I am a NCAA Division 1 umpire, and have coached for many years while my daughter played. Simple advice, find out where the zone is from the umpire. Each umpire's zone will be a little different. Most good umpires will extend the plate 1 to 1//12 balls on the outside and about 1/2 a ball on the inside. Find those areas and learn to pitch to them. Moreover, your catcher needs to do a good job of framing the ball. especiall the ones on the knees and on the corner.More Questions & Answers...
