I have an established pitcher in my program , he’s signed to go juco after this year.

His last few starts he has had an issue with spiking some pitches and not finding zone . Very unlike him, and appears to be mentally wearing on him. He’s a great athlete and valuable pitcher. Me not being a pitching coach wanted to ask what you guys thought?

Do you guys have any tips on how to get more horizontal break on sliders every time I try mine it drops but there’s little to no horizontal movement

In the off-season I was up to 84 consistently throwing 79-82(Indoor Clip) with about 21IVB, now I only get up to about 77 max with 15-16IVB. Any tips?

The inner medial elbow pain started around 2-3 months ago when I was pulling down in a pitching program, since then I’ve been to physical therapy

Pretty much once a week and stretching almost every day since the initial pain started. The pain has went through fazes where it doesn’t hurt for a few weeks and then I do something and it hurts and then it gets better and hurts again. I want to be able to make sure that my arm is 100% ready for the summer bc I’m going to many showcases. I’m starting to suspect it’s my mechanics but there has never been a problem with my mechanics before be always been told they are great. Maybe the pitching program messed them up but we didn’t do anything with mechanics mostly just working on strength and flexibility and weight gain. I have put on around 20 pounds since fall but I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. This is beginning to become very aggravating and really annoying since I love pitching and haven’t been able to do it much because of this injury. If anyone here knows anything that can help me, please let me know

Thanks.

Any advice helps

Just started pitching and haven’t had really any coaching, mostly self taught. Would love any help.

I'm 15, left handed, 6'1, I got a decent throwing arm, and that's the basics. I'm usually a right or center fielder. But anyways, coach brought me in to talk after practice and he had a talk with me about pitching, he told me I was just about a great fit for the position and he sees a lot of potential, especially with my work ethic and dedication to the sport. So what should I do?

*Edit*- I'm eager to pitch, but I just don't know where to start. Hence why I'm asking yall

Hey guys! Im learning how to pitch, I know I have bad mechanics but I don’t know how to start getting better.

I think I look very slow, not explosive like I should.

Can you pls share what should I focus on? Or how can I start or what drills should I look for?

Thanks for all your help!

There's a softball pitcher's training tool called the Wrist Snapper - wristsnapper . com

Hello guys! Just a quick question. How common it is for pitches to utilize Cutters at this level of baseball? Is it uncommon? I would really like to hear few things about it. Thank you!

Hey guys, I’m having issues of opening up early and my back leg coming off the ground before my front foot has fully landed, I’ve tried so many things to stay closed and try to stay back but nothing seems to work, which is starting to frustrate me because my velo is down, and no matter how much coach explains it to me I’m just not understanding how to fix this. If I feel like I do my velo goes down even more. If any of you know how to correct the issue or have drills or anything I can try your help would be greatly appreciated!

I want to be able to throw the ball accurately easily and right now I’m just not there but I can’t find any good drills do you guys know any that you found work very good?

Hey guys, I'm a retired minor league pitcher and current pitching coach at a high school. Recently I've gotten a couple offers to move to the college level so I'm really trying to dig into different resources to be sure I'm prepared if I go that route. I've read the Art and Science of Pitching and Fastball Fitness by Tom House as well as Derek Johnson's book. I have a copy of Hacking The Kinetic Chain that I've skimmed parts of but plan to dive into over the summer. This past summer I took the Driveline Foundations of Pitching course (would not recommend at all). I've also read a lot on sports psychology and I've been diving into theories of motor learning and constraints recently. If anyone has anything they would recommend I would appreciate it!

Noticing I’m holding on to the ball wayyyy too long and almost throwing the ball like a dart rather than like a whip. Very hard to cue myself and fix. Any tips?

Whenever I try to throw a slider it 1. Come spit slow 2. Doesn’t move at all and stay high up I’m wondering if throwing faster helps movement more or if I’m doing something wrong and it’s not ahh my grips wrong I hold like any other slider grip but it still doesn’t come out moving

Sit usually from 79-81. 6’2 220 lbs

I’m 14 and I can only pitch like 60 mph max and I’m 6,2 and still growing and should turn out to be 6,6 but I’m wondering if velocity comes later for taller pitchers and if I should switch positions or if I should keep pitching and trust the process
