She showed me how to use my body with pitching and I have had no other injuries since. I have picked up a lot of speed since Ive been with Abby and am still learning how to get more. My experience with Abby has been wonderful. She has helped me with so much and continues to help me. Very thankful for Tincher Pitching!"
Anna Grace Gardner
Anna Grace Gardner is originally from Leighton, Alabama where she built one of the most accomplished softball careers in the history of Colbert County High School. A dominant pitcher, powerful hitter, and versatile utility player, Anna Grace earned four All-State selections, four All-Area honors, and four All-County honors during her high school career. She was named 2014 TimesDaily Hitter of the Year and 2015 TimesDaily Pitcher of the Year, selected to the 2014 Alabama North All-Star Team, and earned a spot on the 2015 AHSAA All-State Tournament Team. Known for her offensive production, Anna Grace hit 57 career home runs from ninth through twelfth grade, a school record that stood for many years before being broken. Following high school, Anna Grace continued her softball career at University of North Alabama as a business major and member of the 2016 National Championship team. A significant injury during her freshman year ended her playing career earlier than expected, but it ignited a deeper calling to teach and mentor young athletes. That journey ultimately led her to Tincher Pitching, where she discovered a safer, more efficient approach to pitching that emphasizes movement quality, injury prevention, and long-term development. For the past 11 years, Anna Grace has dedicated herself to helping athletes maximize their God-given potential through pitching and hitting instruction. Her coaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that athletes should be developed with purpose, integrity, and wisdom. She is passionate about teaching movements that are both safe and efficient while building confidence, discipline, and character that extend far beyond the softball field. Anna Grace believes softball is a platform to positively impact young athletes and remind them that their worth is not found in statistics, awards, or performance, but in who God created them to be. Her goal is for every student to feel not only like a better athlete, but as a more confident young person equipped to thrive both on and off the field.
