Coaching Baseball: Pitching Fundamentals Part Seven
(Broadband Dial-Up)
A lot of research has been done in the last 15 years on the mechanics of the body in various sports. The best coaches have incorporated the findings from this research into the way they coach pitching. It's not just about improving the skill of the pitcher, it's about preventing injury. In this baseball clinic series, Coach Mike Lane goes over the fundamentals of pitching using various drills while teaching proper body mechanics and techniques for maximum pitch power.
Coaching Baseball: Pitching Skills Part Two - In this segment, pitchers learn how to reduce stress on the arm while throwing effectively. Coach focuses on the Change-up and Curveball. Again the lesson learned is the importance of proper mechanics and grip to give power to the pitch.
Coaching Baseball: Pitching Fundamentals Part Three - The Slider is up next in this baseball pitching series. Then it's time to incorporate lower body mechanics into this pitching clinic. Using a "white line to white line" pitching drill, Coach teaches pitchers the proper way to rotate the body for maximum power.
Coaching Baseball: Pitching Fundamentals Part Four - In this segment, pitchers learn how to use the lower body and foot position to keep the pitch straight and keep from dropping the elbow. The "three count drill" demonstrated here works on balance. Then pitchers learn proper head position and how to pitch the baseball with power from the back to the front.
