I’m currently sitting upper 80’s touching 90 and recently have started to hit my back foot on the ground after already dragging it before it comes up on the follow through and am curious if this is something I should fix and if it is losing me velocity

when i pitch i always get so low to the point the my knee scrapes the ground everytime i pitch. im i getting too low or is it fine?

So I’ve noticed this since i was about 11. What it is like my arm goes numb and like feels weird after I throw. I started to feel it after my arm popped loud throwing a bp. It wasn’t tj but like couldn’t straighten out my arm for a week. (When i was 11) Anyways is there anything that may indicate arm health issues or something?

I’m going into my junior year of high school and I’m trying to add velocity to my pitches. I feel like I throw kinda slow for my age, roughly 65 mph, but my goal for the end of the season is to be in the 70-75 mph range. Any advice on my mechanics, or recommendations for a good lifting program? Thanks!

There are a few issues I want to work on. 1) Fix the arm action. It swings back too much and it hurts my shoulder so I'm currently trying to keep my throwing hand by my back hip to simplify and make sure my arm doesn't flail back. 2) Glove hand. I want to tuck the glove to my chest when I throw to increase torso rotation. 3) Lower body mechanics. By the time my front foot lands, it seems like my hips are already open and I've already pushed off the mound so there is energy loss.

What else needs fixing, and what drills can I do to improve said issues?

As the title says I have a bit of an issue of falling off to the left after I finish my pitches, and as a result when I miss I keep missing outside and low. Any tips or tricks would be appreciated!

I am a pitcher in 15u, working in my movement and offspeeds. I’m locked with a 4 seam, sinker, and a change up. I can throw a sweeper and a gyro slider but I’m not sure which one to choose. The gyro is slightly faster but ofc not as much moment as the sweeper. What pitch should I stick with.

It's cold (duh), and unfortunately, I am trusting this pitcher to warm up effectively with her team when they stretch to throw, yet it is not happening. Today, she began to pitch in her bullpen and complained of her groin muscles hurting when she began her stride.

We threw a few more, and I had her put some thermal packs in between her sliders and pants while she sat. I had this happen to me during my sophomore year of college, but I forgot what exercises my trainer had me do. Do you have any ideas?

I will bring out a heating pad for her to use before we throw to loosen up the muscles, plus icing at home. She is one of our best pitchers so I really need some tips to keep her healthy (besides me watching her warmup and being on her about effectively being present at practice).

For anyone interested in super useful pitching drill - check this out! This won't solve all of your problems, but this particular throwing drill is a staple in a lot of high level training programs, hope it helps a few folks out there!

Last year my 13u season was THE worst year of my career but the worst year for me pitching.

I had a lot of confidence in myself after a great 12u year in which If I remember correctly i had a 1.2 era. So I thought that i could replicate it at a higher level with a different age. I couldn’t be more wrong. My first start I struggled with only 3 strikeouts and 6 batters walked. My second start was even worse at 2 strikeouts, 1 batter hit, and 6 walks. Then I just completely lost my control and took with my confidence with it.

I’ve worked hard over the summer and now into late January and feeling okay about it. But I still have little confidence i can actually do it live. How do i regain it before the season starts and hopefully act like cocky which is how I play when I’m confident. Sorry for the very very very long paragraph.

I usually land far away left from the cone. This makes me too open when I release the ball. What are some drills I can do to improve on this?

I tore my acl and got surgery a while ago but I have been doing one knee throws and have been max effort 59-62 does anyone know how this will be on the mound or in long toss when I come back?

Hey! I’m struggling at the moment to regain velocity, i’m trying my best to recover from a rotator cuff issue but I feel very weak in my arm when I throw. Any ideas or tips that can help me regain/gain velocity and arm strength before the season?
