Those are some great drills! Once was a pitcher & it all came natural. It's hard to put skill into words and drills. Thank you for the breakdown! GOOD LUCK to all the young ladies!
I’m a first year pitcher I stepped up to help and be a relief pitcher. I’m 5’7 and 12 and I pitch around 43-45mph but my top is 47mph. For me it was just natural and it just flowed easily. I really enjoy pitching and I’m trying to get better.
Hi, I have a question. How can I force the K out of my pitching form and how can I swing my arms straight instead of "combing" my hair while pitching. When I pitch, my hips will turn but my upper body doesn't and it doesn't feels naturally to turn my body to the point my shoulder faces the catcher. For the swing part, I do not feel that I'm swinging behind my head and it's kind of frustrating. Thanks :))
Sorry missed this post - release is at the hip - the position of the hand is actually not a simple question- are you trying to create down (drop) spin? Side spin or back spin - you are touching on a complex question - are we working with a beginner or advanced pitcher?
Dan Meier when going all out as a pitcher sometimes you need the break down at the end that twists your hand so that it faces down. When throwing a fastball, palm goes at the catcher at the point of release. Then a breakdown that may or may not twist the hand down...(AKA deceleration will sometimes twist the pitchers hand down)

@@VirtualSoftball ok thank you
I’m a softball pitcher around 5 feet tall 180 pounds 13 yrs old and I pitch around 72 mph
72mph you might check that radar gun sweetie... 72mph at 13 yrs old is unheard of.... You will be D1 as a 14 yr old if so 😂
@@christopherschwagmeier6020 HAHAH
The pitcher is on top of the ball at the finish. Where is the hand at release point?

Both: I have many students. top spin for maximum speed.

You're 5 years old?
Elli Baddley i think she means height

Thats sad I feel like that is going to happen to me
Omg same
tOp oF ThE LiNE uP aYyYy
i m softball pitcher my fastball 78mph i m boy
Wtf...?
English without borders, just saying
I have something to say, if that was true than everyone would know about it. The ACTUAL FASTEST softball pitch is 77 mph by Monica Abbot
The camera person is really crazy
ok
Less talk and more pitching
This is fake. You can't go faster then your body will let u. If she knows how to pitch very fast then y isn't she on the Olympic team?
you are not very intelligent
D E you can work on speed it doesn't come naturally,I'm 5'1 and pitch 60
maybe because at the time of this posting, softball had been dropped from the olympic? DOH!
Umm, have y seen Collette softball?! U better believe it!😂
College *
Her form is wrong
Nevaeh Terrell it actually is
Nevaeh Terrell all people have a different way of pitching
Nevaeh Terrell if her form is wrong why is she a pitcher? Everyone pitches different
I thought it looked weird, but then again everyone has different styles of pitching
