1 They need to work out about 4-5 times a week.2 They don't need to throw batting practice it increases their odds of getting hurt,I would hate to lose my stud pitcher in bp.3They need to continue to work with their pitching instructor through out the season to fine tune pitches, if catcher is available send her too.4 The catcher and pitcher need to work together as often as possible.5 It is also good for a coach to understand how all of her pitches work and what pitch works best for her against batters.That is were most coaches lack knowledge of understanding what pitches work best for each pitcher.Every pitcher has pitches that work better than others.
