I can not speak for the other girls and do not know if cat still has the pitching coach she had while in HS but it was a male and he was a hella of a pitcher in his days as he made the olympic squad. They do learn from some of the best. I can not remember his name but i believe his last name was smith. He was from Washington I seem to recall someone saying.
And I called a game he pitched when he was 55 in a Latin tournament held every year in Houston, Tx. 3-5 teams from Mexico come as well as the best mens teams in TX. He had all the pitches but the prettiest one was a screw ball coming to hit the outside corner. Never seen that pitch and he had not shown it all game and it came out of the blue. Almost missed but stayed with it.
Do a men's game at that level and then do a 18U gold game and the women seem to be pitching in slow motion. I remember a guy who is known as the Argentinen threw a real hard drop. You could hear the woo, woo on every pitch. That is neat.
