50's for a softall player is putting i the severe heat! For a 12-year-old to be in the 50's is very rare, even more rare if she puts the ball over the plate.
My favorite pitch for her is the change up. The other teams ge used to the heat and then she drops a change-up on them which floats across the plate. They can swing twice before it gets there!
