      Hi Rudy. I do not have any specific videos on strategy. Developing a game plan will be unique to each individual pitcher based upon her style and skill set, as well as knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing hitters. It is much more likely that knowledge will be developed at ones school, as opposed to ones travel team. Generally, you will face more familiar opposition in a school league than you will on a tournament circuit. A good experienced catcher will be able to construct a somewhat effective plan against unfamiliar hitters based upon the way they are built and where they set up in the batters box. Other than that, a pitcher’s best path to success is the ability to keep hitters off balance by varying speed and commanding all corners of the zone. Confidence in your preparation and abilities is always the best strategy, in my opinion.
