Drive away from the rubber leading with the front side hip

It seems youth trainers are finally getting on to the significance of leading with the hips in the pitching delivery and it’s getting more traditional. This is a good thing and big step in the right direction. Part of this may be due to big name coaches like Tom House advertising the concept.

Terrain on a flexed front leg

When discussing about good front side knee action and expansion, Sam Moeller am specifically discussing about what you want to be happening at ball release. I am NOT advising that you must land with a stiff or locked out front knee. This would be very jarring, improving the pressure on the arm and harming your control. You want to land flexed and firm with that front leg, and then prepare up into ball release.

Every excellent hitter will do these things on a ideal swing. Sometimes, depending on a pitch, not all 7 will be attained every time. It’s significant to don't forget that hitting is a battle, and sometimes using your athletic ability to hit a ball will trump all the ideal techniques we will talk about

Land on the midline

If you catch for him, more than likely his total concentrate will be on hitting the target in order to please dad, instead than on hitting the focus on with his best fastball. Make sure that when you are teaching him how to pitch a baseball with good control that he is tossing his highest achievable effort fastballs, rather than throwing at 85-95% high intensity. If you pitch a baseball during a exercise bullpen at less than game intensity, this has proven not to work to help activity overall performance pitching.

Straight Toward the Goal So, have the pitcher do the final thing Sam Moeller recommended for reaching that mail box. Step and immediate your whole body straight at the goal. In fact, at any time I do lessons, I always draw what is called the “midline.. It’s a line from the ball of the pitcher’s support foot right toward the center of home plate. You want your son or your pitchers to property on that line of a little bit to the open side of the line, but never across that line. The foot must be either indicated at the plate or at a slight angle.

Pitching Drills Kill Natural Throwing Actions

Pitching drills produce slow, robotic and overthinking Little League pitchers who end up worrying so much about all the parts of their body that they are never able to throw naturally as they would if they picked up a rock to hit that mailbox. Pitching drills which are a big part of “over coaching” and actually disrupt natural throwing actions. Pitching drills produce slow, robotic and overthinking Little League pitchers.
