She is a true riseballer in every sense of the word she tells me the ball seems to bite a little better out there, Truth be told she was taught a riseball and fastball from day one her fastball became her peel drop and her riseball became her main go to pitch. Now in college its the other way around her drop is her go to and her rise is her set up pitch....The great part is she has Bill Hillhouse guiding her as the pitching coach for PC and he is all about the riseball!!!!
Well that's pretty cool, the dd of a men's fp pitcher goes to college and her pitching coach is a well known and highly regarded men's fp pitcher. I've bought most if not all of Hillhouse's dvd's based on the recommendation of both my dd's first pitching coach, an old vet of men's fp , Jim Brackin. Good to hear that BH has recovered from his health issues and is coaching at the college level.
My dd has always pitched on the east coast so she doesn't have another climate to compare it to. She did get her offer at IDT a couple of years ago and although I wasn't there I think she said she didn't have her best stuff but the coach had seen enough outside that tourney to make an offer. She's at a P5 D1 on the low end of the competitive spectrum but it's her dream school and an in-state public. Other than our W/L record she's been very happy there.
