When do I throw a specific pitch?
Here's a few pointers...

 
1.
   Can be used as a first pitch to get ahead in the count.
2.   Use on corners and keep low.
3.   As our pitcher becomes more advanced in throwing breaking pitches, she will use less fastballs
4.   Most good college pitchers don't use many fastballs, because they must make the ball move. As the batters will hit the straight fastball.
5.   The speed for a fastball, of a good high school pitcher is high 50's to low 60's.
 
 
1.
   A riseball is a sucker pitch usually used when you are ahead in the count.
2.   In college and good "ASA" ball risers account for more third strikes than any other pitch.
3.   It should be thrown at the shoulders.
4.   If the batter makes contact it is usually a fly ball or pop-up.
 
 
1.
   Used mostly on left-handed batters and slappers.
2.   Can be used on right-handed batter to jam them.
 
 
1.
   Can be thrown as a strike or a waste pitch.
2.   A curve can be thrown using different speeds which makes it a multi-purpose pitch.
 
 
1.
   A drop ball is thrown when you are ahead in the count, as it is usually called a ball by the umpire.
2.   It can be used when a ground ball is needed.
3.   It can be used as a first pitch to a team who is aggressive and swings at the first pitch.
4.   If the umpire is calling this a strike use it !!!!
5.   Should be thrown at the knees.
 
 
1.
   To be used when the batter is swinging ahead of a fastball, never when a batter is swinging behind.
2.   Show early in the game for psychological advantages.
3.   Keep low and outside, 10-15 MPH slower than your fastball.
