4 Baseball Throwing Drills For Young Pitchers

Hi,

   One of the most important ways for a young pitcher to
develop is to learn how to repeat their delivery over and over.
Same delivery every time. Below are 4 pitching drills that
will help young pitchers to learn the proper pitching technique!

One Knee Drill 
 Start with hands in glove rotate shoulders,
 hand out of glove point elbow (power T), fingers to sky,
lead with heel, tuck elbow/glove follow through thumb to thigh.

Straddle Throw Drill 
 Feet parallel outside of shoulders, shoulder facing target,
 hands in glove, hand out of glove point elbow (power T),
fingers to sky, lead with heel, tuck elbow/glove
 follow through thumb to thigh.

Cement Throw Drill 
 Feet slightly outside shoulders, chest facing target, hands in glove,
 rotate shoulders, hand out of glove point elbow (power T), fingers to sky,
 lead with heel, tuck elbow/glove follow through thumb to thigh. Keep feet planted.

Balance Position Drill 
 Start from balance position (Step 3) hands in glove shoulder facing target,
 hand out of glove point elbow (power T), fingers to sky, tuck elbow/glove
 follow through thumb to thigh.

* Stay balanced and smooth.
* Don’t rush delivery.
* Keep eye on target.

One final note:
 When throwing the fastball, hold the baseball with two fingers
with horseshoe facing first base side so four seams will rotate when ball is released.

These drills should definitely help a young pitcher develop
a consistent pitching delivery.
