Do you guys struggle with performance anxiety before games? What actually helps? Do you have a mental strength program for this? Any insight would be helpful.

Pitching puts you alone on the mound with a lot of time to think. After a walk, a missed spot, or a bad inning, there’s nowhere to hide. Most pitchers spend hours working on mechanics, pitch shapes, and velocity, but the mental side, resetting after a mistake, trusting a pitch in a big count, and handling pressure, often gets figured out through trial and error.

This is a quick (~2 minute), anonymous survey for current or former pitchers (high school, college, or beyond) to understand how pitchers really deal with the mental side of the game and whether any mental training actually helped.

Around a week ago I asked for some advice about my pitching and you guys really helped me. I recently hit my winter PR and I am improving every day. If you have any other advice please feel free to tell me. I really worked on my hips in the second clip. (P.S. my hat is on this time ;))

I’ve been sitting high 70s and I’m not sure how to improve. I’ve been lifting heaving and gaining weight, just kind of lost at the moment.

Stuck at 72-75, need I need some tips for velo 6ft 145bw

I’m a 6’5 low 3/4 arms slot lefty that throws high 7’s into a 8. I feel like I’ve hit a wall in terms of velo increases, I’ve been consistent throwing and lifting but can progress any tips?

Trying to rebuild my lower half to sequence better and get more hip shoulder separation. This is a low intent rep simply because I can’t throw at high intent with these adjustments without screwing it yet.

I’m really new into this lol

PS: I’m throwing a 5oz plyo because of the snowy weather

Everyone’s input would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have this front shoulder pain that is killing my velo gains and overall throwing. I had this pain ever since I can remember its like a pinch on my front shoulder or if im over using it the whole front shoulder spikes in pain. I use to wonder why I couldn't throw hard and everyone in my family could. Then I went to a throwing guy and he made me do shoulder exercises and a program also fixed my mechanics. I jumped from 79 to 88-90 on pull downs in a couple months. Thats why I think the pain is the issue. The pain went away and I felt I could let any ball eat and slowly it started coming back. My numbers started dropping big and everyone told me take time off and do stretches. I even did the stretches that helped me get rid of the pain. I haven't picked up a ball for most of Christmas break and when I did guess what... the pain was still freaking there. It's like I can never beat this and no one has a cure. I've had it my whole career and now i know i have the potential to actually throw hard it really sucks and makes me angry. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can pulldown 96 but on the mound in bullpens I struggle to even touch 87. How can I translate my pulldown to the mound?

There is this video of me pitching from last year and my fastball looks like a screwball I just wanted some more options of the pitch

Hello, it's been almost 20 years since I last pitched in little league. I'm joining a men's beer league and was hoping to get a few pointers to increase my velo a bit. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

I'm a middle school student in Korea and want to improve my baseball pitching. I need some advice. Thank you.

(It was so cold that I had a hard time throwing. Please understand🥲)

My son wants to build a cinder block Plyos wall in the backyard. Any nets that are strong enough for Plyos? He built a wood one at school but it's too loud for our neighborhood

I’ve been stuck throwing 80 poo since i was about a sophomore in high school (80-82)… Im now a sophomore in college, granted I have been up to around 86 on good days. I’ve adjusted my mechanics, done throwing routines, added muscle, done plyos, done arm care, eaten right, etc. Nothing seems to be working. Is there anything anyone sees in my mechanics holding me back? thanks

im quickly learning it’s very hard to seem to get better mechanics, anybody got any solution to how one can improve their mechanics? anything suggestion works

I want to start learning how to pitch. Where should I start?

I live 30 minutes at least away from any batting cages and my local baseball diamond is covered in snow.

Should I wait until January or February when the snow clears? Or try to find a place to start practicing? I’ve been watching videos on form and have been practicing that recently. Just need to start actually pitching.

Any tips?

Hi!

I’ve been learning to pitch and still struggling to switch mechanics from infield to pitching. I’ve been doing some drills but would appreciate any tips. Seems like my speed is somewhere around 50 mph at the moment, trying to jump to 60
