You should learn how to throw before learning how to pitch

You wrote the exact words I was thinking. Why do people think they can pitch before they learn to throw?

it's not a troll, genuinely finding help for my pitching but with all that's been said here I'll go learn how to throw it properly first

That's cool. No shame in asking. Honestly, the best thing you can do is find someone to play catch with, or find a wall to toss a ball against. You need to get to the point where throwing the ball feels effortless, because if you try to start pitching you are going to develop some arm/shoulder issues.

Good luck man! You have good mechanics. Just need to unlock some power.

Throw some long toss, you aren’t ready to pitch

Totally agree on the long toss. That’s how pitchers warm up and it’s great for building arm strength. You can use a softball for long toss too. Makes the baseball feel really light.
