FUNDAMENTALS FIRST –
Learn, practice, and develop good
pitching fundamentals first...
do NOT worry about throwing strikes
when you are learning how to pitch.
If you want to become a pitcher
throw a minimum of 300 full-speed
practice pitches each week.
Control should not be an issue in the beginning.
First learn the correct way of doing the pitching motion and delivery.
Proper form is so important.
Proper form is the key to being a great pitcher.
Without that you will always struggle with control and speed.
It will also be very hard to learn and throw new pitches
if your form is not correct. Remember to build a house
you have to have a good foundation.
Once you have good form your control will come
with practice and good instruction. For speed
there are many great drills to help increase
your speed. Wrist snap is very important and a lot of times
we see girls just doing a half snap. To really have good
speed and control the wrist snap has to be correct.
When working with new pitchers it is helpful to have
them start with their wrist back even before they
start there motion. This will help the muscle memory
start to develop so they get a full snap of the wrist.
