You are right April is the bomb...awesome instructor...

I have been wanting to try April. What difference(s) has she made for your daughter?

Wicked,
I am going to defer to Politico if they don't mind. I think April is the bomb , but frankly my DD is a catcher. What I do know is April comes to AZ to give lessons to 1 of the best 12U pitchers in the state. My DD catches and it helps her tremendously to see 7 or 8 pitches instead of just fastball/change up ( she is 10U ). April helps my DD by explaining the pitches, spin rotation, what to look for etc and after seeing this 11 year old pitch 12 and 14 U, can't but feel she is outstanding. BTW, pitcher I am talking about pitched 14U today...14 K's on way to Championship game. She must know her stuff..

I'll put in a word for Conway De Sha. He has at least three students currently pitching in D1. He works out of Ichiban Batting cages in Anaheim.

My DD has been going to Heather Meyer for a few years...she is awesome.

My DD has been going to Heather Meyer for a few years...she is awesome.

Who? Your daughter or Heather Meyer? Tell your daughter I said Hi!

I put my vote in for Debbie Corbett in San Diego.

Alot of good coaches out there and hard to say who might be "the" best. I would give Kudos to Gary Mullican of Strictly Softball in Mission Viejo. He is an assistant coach on Team USA, Mens Jr. Olympic fastpitch team. He is one of the few pitching coaches that I have seen actually go out to watch his students pitch (and hit) and you gotta love a coach that gives up some personal time and takes a real interest in his students.

My oldest daughter and my grand daughter both have taken lessons from Don Sarno who I pitched against in men's fast pitch. He is a hall of fame pitcher who pitched for the Nitehawks of Long Beach. So I vote overall for him in SOCAL.

But my son-in-law moved to San Diego and he has taken my grand daughter to Stan Hunt for a couple lessons. He feels that Stan is the man in San Diego:) He took her to Bill Corbet but did not like the style he teaches which is finishing in the figure 4.

I agree Gary Mullican of Strictly Softball in Mission Viejo. My DD has gone to him for 3 years and he has performed wonders for her. He comes and watches her pitch when he can. And, he takes a personal interest in her success. He has been there as a player and a coach so speaks from experience.

The BEST Pitching coach in SoCal by far is April Valdez she pitched for University of Oaklahoma and can teach

Does your dd go to her?
