So my team this season was not bad....we have made it to the championship game, which got rained out tonight so now we have it on Monday...
But the point of the post is how to work with my pitchers post game to get them ready for some fall games as well as next spring.
I am just trying to find the starting point to teaching pitching. Most of them have been taught to do the hello elbow, and I am not going there. I have just tried getting them to just play catch with me underhanded and it is interesting to see them struggle just tossing the ball back and forth underhanded. Perhaps this is a bad thing, but it seemed that if I wanted them to make use of a more natural motion in pitching, then just have them toss and follow through underhanded was a decent place to start.
So is that a decent place to start or should I be trying something else and working up to that? I think I read on here someplace to work with the leap and drag first and I can do that once our game is over on Monday...
So how do you start trying to get pitchers to be more natural in their throw?
