It might seem far fetched in your area, but here in VA. FP softball is taken serious. She doesnt play 10U she is playing 14U. So maybe she is ahead of the game. In LL when she throws a change-up and I have seen this on numerous occasions, the ump will hesitate in calling the pitch. 9 times out of 10 they call it a ball. Its like they are confused. Maybe it is the fact they are not used to seeing a pitcher who throws something other than right down the middle. I have no idea. From what I have seen written here and what college games I have watched. Its seems there is a vast difference in plate coverage from LL to the big show.
