How to Throw Strikes Consistently as a Softball Pitcher

- Want to be more consistent?
Look at your windup & the beginning of your pitch.
If the timing, rhythm, and smoothness of your pitch varies from pitch to pitch, then your release point will vary as well and make it more difficult for a consistent release point.
If you’re looking for more consistent results, start at the beginning of your pitch, analyze it and then also hone into the end of your pitch to bring consistency to BOTH.

I’ve been doing pitching for two years now and i am pitching a whole game on Thursday and I’m under a lot of pressure and i just wanted to see how accurate this is
How did your whole 1st game go
How did it go? My daughter is going to pitch her second game in a couple days. She pitched two innings her first game without watching any videos, just at practice with the girls on her team who have some sort of pitching experience. We’re hoping these videos here will give her an extra boost
@@Orenar415 how did her game go?
SAME
i pitch full game at all games, it’s tiring but this is very useful
I’ve played for 8 years now on travel ball and I’m still learning new things
This is very helpful!! I play 12U and it’s hard to be consistent sometimes so I will keep prwcticing
Yes practice with purpose! Take your time! Think about what you’re doing!
oh my god it's a levi simp
@@lyndahalabi7952 YUP
I’m 11 and I’m in u15 since there isn’t anyone my age. Only like 3-4 players :( even tho I moved up to u12 since I was 9. And it’s hard since I’m a pitcher as well
@@pewpew2885 I practiced a lot and I think I got better
Very helpful! This really makes me understand why muscle memory and mirror work is extremely important as a pitcher! 👍💪
Elisa Castro yes!! you are so right. Especially with mirror work you can FEEL and SEE. Connect different senses with important movement and technique / helps for repetition!
Amanda Scarborough thank you so much for this video! Really helpful!! I’ve been struggling with my pitching, and this appeared in my recommended, so I HAD to watch! Now I’m definitely going to try this out! Thank you!
I have been having accuracy problems especially as a summer travel ball pitcher so I really needed this because I have to stay accurate and consistent.
Practice even if you gotta take a bucket out full of balls by yourself It's important every second day I spend 4 hours pitching, game days I spend a good solid 45 mins straight pitching before hand I was giving up 20 runs per game managed to knock it down to 14 runs on this routine of course after you build the muscle memory you don't need to do it so often but if your struggling start pitching on your off time I wish you the best
My friend is becoming a pitcher and this is exactly what she needs thank you so much this is awesome it helped so much
This makes so much sense. I was trying all kinds of stuff in practice but never thought of dialing in mechanics like I'm sure I was doing it a bit different each time, this is great advice! Will watch again for emphasis!
Thank you I needed this to be more accurate my pitches are hard and fast but not very accurate so thank you very much for the helpful tip
I’ve been pitching for about 3 years and I’ve been the best pitcher but this made get into the big leagues thank u so much!
No way! Really?! What did you find the most helpful?
I'm pitching 3 years now, and I have a game on Thursday, may 28, 2024. I tried this and it helps
I love pitching with my daughter and so I am glad me and her watched this so she knows how to pitch strikes
Thx! This helps me bc i have been pitching for 3 years and I have never heard anything like this
this helped me because last season i always didn’t get strike outs when i pitched but now, this video got me getting strikes,!!
Thanks so much! I’m in 12u and I need to be more consistent with my pitching and wind up
Thanks I was pitching one time in a game and I sucked and you helped me thanks
THIS HELPS SO MUCH!!!!! I went right back to the video after trying it. Thank you for your time to help us get better.
Yay!! So glad 😊
This is very helpful because my coach said if I keep practicing my pitching I have a VERY good chance in being the number 1 pitcher next season
Thanks for the help I am a pitcher and this helped me a lot.
so happy for that Madison!
Im Running this way to be a Pitcher and you are the Best Amanda :D i love all youre videos
I’ve been pitching ever since I was 6, and this helped a LOT! 💕
Did you play house league/ recreational softball? Because for that pitching didn’t happen until fourth grade.
@@hurricanetortilla640I did it in 3rd grade
This helps me to pitch very well
i’ve pitched for a year and this helped
I really needed this I’m a 2nd year gonna be pitcher this year so this really helped me bc I haven’t practice and there’s 4 more months to practice
Even know I have been a pitcher for 4 years now it still helped me
I am practicing pitching and I watch this video and it is the best
Ive pitched 3 games first time pitching as our team lost our pitcher i play out field or short stop my first game we lost 24-10 second game it was 19- 16 my 3rd game i managed to keep the runs at 14 as we got 13 due to practiceing massive improvement hope i can keep

Thanka for the tips
P.s trust your practice and your teachings most importantly cancel out the unnecessary noise as they just add pressure. All love.
I like this because I just started pitching.
Wow this is amazing and it really helps👍🏻
I play 10U and this really helped. but thank you my team now won 4 games and we lost 0 because of your help

So much better at pitching all to you thank you !!
Great points Amanda. Thank you for posting all these videos
Thank you Damien!
I’m a catcher and I gave the vid to my pitcher! Hope it helps.
I have good accuracy and pitch really good when there is no batter. But ounce they step up to the plate, it starts going towards them and ends up hitting them or going behind them. I have no idea what’s going on.
I just found this video in 2024 I am a 12u pitcher to and I am having trouble with hitting outside and inside pitching for a strike can you help
THANK YOUU!
This is vary helpful I play base ball but I help my cousin with batting and have a hard time pitching the ball
This helped because I’m going to join softball soon. And I rlly need to know abt it I did do softball when I was in 3rd grade but I’m in 5th now so I need a refresher thanks!
You’ve got this!!
@@amandascarborough thanks!
bruh i’ve been pitching since fourth grade and i still can’t pitch consistently
I’m not a beginner pitcher but I’m hoping for next year I can have a chance, I’m going to practice all summer to for fall softball I’ll have a chance to impress the coaches and land a spot with the pitchers 🥰
This helped me so much thank you have a good day and I liked
Thank you! Awesome
Thanks
You are going to be a good friend
Play softball and I’m a pitcher so this will help me
Love it ❤❤❤❤❤
I want to be a pitcher but my coach said practice at home first just bc I am a new to softball. Thank you this helped me understand what to do!😊
This helped me alot! Thank you!
💕
Thanks so much not just for this video but everything you contribute to the world of softball. I have a niece headed to play college ball next year she’s not a pitcher. But I am her high school coach and responsible for getting our pitchers ready.
However I am not a pitching coach by any means and they have not pitched for long. My main goal I tell them is to hit spots inside outside consistently. Any tips on where I should start on just getting them pitching consistent strikes? Thanks again
thanks this helped a lot it’s my first year pitcher so thanks!
I am playing right now so this is very helpful thank you so much.
im in majors and im a first base women and now i really want to pitch
What kind of glove is that
I have monstars 12u travel team try outs tomorrow wish me luck !
Good luck!!!
how did it go??
Kyla Fuller went good ,but I got a offer from another team so I accepted that instead.now I’m on blue reign 12u
thank you! helps so much. :)
So happy to hear that!! Did you know I have online pitching courses?! Ah I love them so much!! pitching-angel.com - go there and join the waitlist! Enrollment is opening soon!
Amanda Scarborough i’ll check it out!!
Ok so I’ve been pitching for like 3 years now I’m pretty decent but I’m just having trouble with the even weight when your in that k position and the push off on the rubber so do you have any tips for that?
This was helpful to my friend I’m her catcher we play 10u and it helped her alot
Hi my son just started pitching/baseball. I posted some of his video. Can anyone tell us what more we need to improve. Thank you very much.
Hi there!! Not sure I have the expertise in baseball pitching.
What are the leggings? I need to get some good compression pants and those look good!
I’m gonna be a pitcher this spring, so this helped! I do 10U so I have to get 35 MPH and I’m at 29 MPH so I though maybe this would help get me faster to.
Well good luck!!
ty! \3
@@slaykids_1173I’m gonna be forced to pitch because I’m the only girl on my team that can make it to the batter T^T
As long as you can do it!
@@slaykids_1173 :D
i am going to be pitching for my 12u rec team this week, any additional tips?
Sure :) what do you have questions on??
@@amandascarborough whenever i pitch, i always seem to pitch on the right side of the mound, and i keep hitting the batter. (which i don't want to do) How do i stop pitching on the right side of home plate?
I’m a pitcher and this helped,to much thanks
Woohoo!
This is really a good video for me. Im just like that
I have a certain way of pitching how can i combined these to pitch muscle works together.
I'm a baseball player playing with all boys im a girl and I'm on my tablet on my dad's account but I play with all boys and my coach last night said for me to try out for softball and I said no no no cause I've played baseball all my life so do I or do I not I know nothing about softball so this helps me alot. Thanks
Hey! It’s up to you! If your heart is in baseball then go for it, but maybe you find that you’ll love softball too! It’s not too different from baseball and I’m sure you will learn it quick if you did try it.
Just remember whatever choice you make, just be sure it makes you happy 😊
Same
I can't throw for anything 😭😭 I really needed this
This really helps because my game was yesterday at 8:00 and I struck out 10 of the girls but it was not strike balls we have a game Thursday so they not gone be ready for my heat now that I watched this video
This helped me alot I am a 10 year old on a 12U Texas Glory team and I'm a soon to be pitcher.
Awesome! are you starting to pitch?
I'm in 12u and I have been a pitcher for 3 years now and sometimes it can be hard
Nice. ⚾️♥️🇺🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m either Pitcher of First my coaches don’t know which one I should be so they switch me out from one to one every dang game.
This kinda helped I am already a good pitcher but I still watched it
Does anyone have any tips! So I’m 11 years old playing 12u travel and am a pitcher! So I have problems with mentally so if I’m just practicing at my house I can throw strikes pretty consistent but when I pretend like there’s a batter I can’t throw a strike at a game or if I just pretend. Also when I know there’s a batter I tighten up my whole body and then I can’t throw a strike! So if anyone has any tips or drills I can do please let me know! Thank you enjoy the rest of your day!
Put a trash can there in the batters box next to the plate! Or something that’s the size of a person! Do all of your drills with the trash can there and get used to something being in the right handed batters box and then put the object on the left hand side!
Ok thank you! I will try!
I am a pitcher so I needed a tip so I went to u
Awesome! Many pitchers learned to pitch from my videos and find them helpful! Happy you’re here
This can help me even though I'm not a pitcher but like uhm I'm kinda way better than one our pitchers she throws behind the batters and really slow, I can pitch in like low 40s and some strikes I've been getting better though
Just keeps working!!!
@@amandascarborough yup!
I’m 9 I just started and I pitch 45 miles per hour and my average strike outs are 15.
that can’t be possible
@@brielleford756 then come to my games
@@brielleford756 now I’m ten I pitch 48 miles per hour and my average strikeouts are still 15
Hey there
Do you live in sc?
I live in Texas!!
Can you do a video on how to learn a change up?I am ten and love pitching!
Is this for all ages?
Yes!
WOULD 👋
I am the best pitcher on my team because I watch this lol
this definitly made me fell better about pitching but did not help at all with my pitching
I was so scare. To pitch cause I turned so fast before a softball went to my fast lol. Now im afraid to hot the ball. Cause i got hit in the arm. And my teammate got hit in the leg and bext was me I got hit too my fan was going craz crazy cause the parent on the other team was like bailing out laughing. I was about to attack until the other team 2 base girl ask if i was okay she was so nice for but i hate the pitcher ever since. But I scared people when i pitch cause I make a mean face when i pitch they try to put me in 14 older softball and im 11 cause in that good like omggggg like whatttttttt chase i been playing baseball. Since 4 and i got kicked off that team cause i was a girl. Now in in softball and they made the wrong choice hahahaha. Like it me and my brother makes the face when we pitch and we scare them. So it fun when I pitch cause i scare them I play on ever base 1st 2nd 3rd and catcher outfield each side middle short stop like you can't out rub me. But then I got hurt and now in trying to gain all of that back like my pitching is kind of getting better i can rub fast anymore so it coming not fast the but it coming. Sorry if this is to long
Hi I’m new my name is Amanda too so imma stick around I’m new to softball
I just want to impress my p.e. teacher t-t
I am here because of our PE
I’m learning my pitching but it keeps going slow and too much to the side
Ok I had the same problom! So to fix it if the ball goes to the left you turned your hips to late and if it goes to the right you opened your hips way to early. So bacicly when your in your wind up the arm that has the ball has to release the ball at the hip but if your hips are twisted befor you release the ball it’s gonna go to your right and if you twist your hips to late and it will go to the left so I hope that helped you sorry I explained it super weirdly but also with it going super slow don’t worry about it it’s not about speed it’s about proper mechanics speed will come after as long as you can get the ball across home plate you should be good so I hope this helped I’m still learning myself but I’m super decent I’ve been pitching for like 3 years so yea there’s still stuff I’m working on to
lol my girls got so good from this video
