BABASIC MECHANICS
PURPOSE: To simplify and teach developing pitches the basic mechanics of pitching.
EQUIPMENT: Mound/Rubber SET-UP: Pitcher should take the rubber and prepare to go through the proper steps of the basic mechanics. EXECUTION: When teaching developing pitchers, a simple starting point to teach basic mechanics is to break the wind-up in to 4 parts: Rock, Pivot, Balance, Throw. These basic mechanics will be explained via video soon! MODIFICATIONS: Pitchers can also practice basic mechanics from the stretch position. This would include feet apart/hands apart, feet closer/hands together in set position, pause, balance, throw. COACHING TIP: Have pitchers attempt this with their eyes closed. As pitchers are able to execute the windup with closed eyes, they are becoming consistent and comfortable in their mechanics. |
