Throwing fundamentals

guest — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 22:31:30 GMT

Does anyone have any advice or input on teaching little kids the fundamentals of throwing?

I'm having a hard time conveying the step-by-step actions because it is such a natural movement after all these years... I can't break it down to teach very effectively. Thoughts?

I wonder if her pitching coach taught her this...

Do you think the batter gets distracted?

Pitching

The motion for fast pitch softball seems so unnatural...what types of injuries are common among SB pitchers? Also, what's the fastest recorded pitch in both men's and women's softball? Thanks.

Does anyone know of any good camps for an advanced player?

Anyone know some good drills to increase power to the outfield?

I know its pretty easy for those who are 6 ft tall to have a shot and getting good distance and power to the outfield, but what about us that are shorter?

Anyone know any drills to help?

Tape Drill

I saw this video on YouTube the other day and wanted to see if anyone had tried it before or what you thought of it. It's a tape drill to work on spinning. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Best way to teach hitting the outside pitch?

guest — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:19:58 GMT

I've tried using tee work to convey that when hitting the outside pitch you must let it get further along in it's path and make contact deeper in the strike zone. But a lot of my kids can't seem to wait and throw their hands out and end up almost getting around on the outside pitch; which usually results in a weak grounder up the middle or to short.

Does anyone have a good drill to impress the idea of waiting and taking the pitch the opposite way upon the players?
