    Pitcher hoping for feedback

    Decided to just continue the work I was doing on my own and took down the videos, don’t know how to delete the post itself, I’m finding it too confusing to get continued feedback online while I’m actively pitching games every week. I’m getting good results in the games (strike outs and weak...

    Pitcher hoping for feedback

    Thanks for the suggestion, when I practiced this morning I figured out that if I am more open with foot further right when I land my stride, these muscles are MUCH easier to use, and I can prevent the upper body twist now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pitcher hoping for feedback

    I was doing some of the drills suggested to work on having an unlocked elbow at 9, and I traced my arm path back to 3 and realized it’s much easier to be unlocked at 9 when I hold the ball facing down at 3, whereas I had been starting my pitch with the ball angled somewhat toward 1st base. Once...

    https://youtube.com/shorts/Rd5l5XAS2L4?feature=share Think I made some good improvements today!!! Able to keep open a lot better. Did the stork and a bunch more of the suggested drills and I felt and can see an improvement. Definitely have some work to do on the elbow/arm/glove hand and maybe...

    sluggers Ok this is actually mildly maddening haha. I did full motion but snapped into my own glove, then I threw a pitch. And snapping into my own glove I believe my posture is actually way more correct, and in line with the second bank of images before release point that you posted… I just...

    sluggers No I’ve never pitched slow pitch. But I taught myself how to pitch (fastpitch) when I was a kid and never had a pitching coach so never had perfect mechanics. I’m pretty sure there is one thing wrong w my mechanics that’s making everything else off and once I figure out what it is...

    sluggers https://youtube.com/shorts/n7KIzum8Ybc?feature=share I got another video that’s a bit better. I went through the thread and can see what you mean about the straight arm, but after doing the drills it still is pretty straight. I’ll keep trying Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    sluggers Thank you. It has been frustrating because as I’m warming up (before doing a full arm circle) I have the proper bend/whip/brush. But then once I do the arm circle I can’t physically do it. The other comment above mentioned it looks like I’m too square to home plate with my throwing...

    Pitcher hoping for feedback

    DNeeld THANK YOU I noticed the glove hand coming down too early when I was watching some of my videos, and also what I thought was a “turn” closed at release, and I thought I was “pitching with my body/shoulder.” But I have had no luck fixing them by just focusing on them. I tried pitching...

    Pitcher hoping for feedback

    Hi everyone, I was a pitcher when I was a teenager/kid and then I stopped playing. Joined an adult fastpitch league a few years ago. It’s a rec league but the players are alright. I’ve been pitching full games and doing alright but have been trying to improve my motion last couple months. One...
