In my opinion she is Sam Ford at Synergy in the Santa Clarita area. For hitting instruction it is Clearly Crystal Bustos also in the Santa Clarita area.

Both pitching coaches are excellent. Most people know who Sam is but Heather is a great instructor as well. As for Crystl, well, I think you may have heard of her. The only downside is her busy schedule.

Diane Lewis in Long Beach (Signal Hill). Indoor facility with three pitching lanes that have dirt mounds and she provides a catcher. She's been Stacy Nelson's (Florida State) pitching coach for years. She's absolutely awesome. And upstairs they have batting cages so you can schedule a hitting lesson to coincide with your pitching lesson if you so desire.

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.

My 15 year old daughter has been practicing pitching on the side for years. Her private school that she attends graduated their #1 starting pitcher. Now they are going into next season with 1 pitcher. So my daughter wants to step up her practicing so she can help pitch for her team. We need to find a pitching coach in the southern Inland Empire area to the north S.D. area. She is willing to put the time and the practice in. She has got some good speed and some good movement, she is working on her location. She knows all of the grips for all of the throws. She has learned them over the years. She plays travel ball, just not pitching. She is a great athlete, with a great attitude.

If you are a pitching coach with reasonable fees, please reply. Thanks.

I believe the best pitchng coach in San Diego is Bill Corbet. But unfortunately I do not know how to get ahold of him.

Is she the best? Thats an opionion. IMO she works good with the girls I know. She doesnt work with Lisa Fernandez or Cat Osterman. I think she got her picture taken with Jennie Finch. lol
