It all depends how far you want to travel?? I've heard there are many good pitching coaches out there. All have worked with TOP NAME present pitchers too!! Not every coach can communicate in a way your daughter could understand though. My daughters gone to Susie Parra(U of Arizona) now for 4yrs. I've been REALLY happy with her teaching my daughter "junk" pitches. In ways of who's WHO has gone to her for help. After my daughters lesson, the 70mph+ Japanese pitcher, I recognized her but don't know her name, CAME ALL THE WAY FROM JAPAN for lessons. Japan beat our USA team a couple of weeks after! We stuck around to watch how ridiculous a 70mph+ pitch looks like coming at you. Susie and my daughter stood right behind the catcher, with a protective fence in front of them, and my girl left in awe of what she had just survived!! Susie works in the Orange County area.
