Wish I had a coach that cared enough when I was pitching to show me some of these things. I was throwing 85 at 15 years old and if I had even known how to throw a proper 4 seam fastball with the curve I taught myself I may have had a career doing the only sport I truly loved. Thank you guys for stepping up and helping those who dont have anyone to care enough to show these things! Plus I was pitching pre internet so I never had this wealth of information. I hope the kids with stars in their eyes are paying attention
@@squaaam2263 85 at 15 is not an anomaly. most kids peak in size and strength by that age. anything younger and id be a little skeptical, but 15 year olds can throw a ball if they're talented.
Man, if I had this coaching 25 years ago, I would have found my zone. I pitched really well 12-15 then started loosing accuracy and lost my rhythm. I could throw 80’s but once you start walking guys, coach puts you on the bench. I hope the young kids really take this advice, it’s excellent that he breaks it down into sections. This is gold kids, make this your go to video if you’re struggling to get your rhythm back. Fundamental lesson 👍
@@floridagirl386 walking is when you’ve thrown four “balls” (outside the strike zone that the batter didn’t swing at). The batter is then given a “walk” which then goes to first base.
@andrewgibb8846 gotcha! Thankyou for answering. My son's first year of ball & he's always been crazy about it. I'm not sure why but he's got a great pitchers arm..& that isn't coming from me lol. His coaches are very impressed. Trying to learn all I can so this is really appreciated
This is great! I am coaching kids that will start pitching this season and I wanted something for next weeks practice. Teaching them the mechanics from this video will help them and myself. I’ve subscribed and look forward to more videos.
Here is a tip. If you are having struggles with doing your full motion make sure you keep your foot lined with the catcher. Also if you need help with bringing your arm back just start with your arm in the follow through moment
A tip that helped me from flying open was to point my glove at the target and tuck my glove to my hip like tucking a sword. That Small tip helped me tremendously in high school
Thanks for this! I'm learning pitching so I can teach my son properly... or more properly. Was a shortstop and right fielder when I played so this helps a lot.
Couch I think u are the best at telling kids how to play I appreciate it my son is 11 and he watches ur videos every day and he gags better and better thanks so much😀😃
My son has had some pitching training and the device matches what he’s being trained. We have been told to use the front leg like a pole vault stick for extra power and velocity. Great video, thanks
I’m a girl and people never wanted to teach me how to play baseball (not even my own dad). It really sucked because I’ve had a love for baseball since that is all my dad has ever talked about. I’ve always been told I’ve had a good arm since I’ve been able to throw perfect spirals in football since I was 4, so I decided to take up pitching. That’s why I’m here, thank you for this video and I will try all this tips!
Love this sport. I always preferred 1st base even though I was always pushed toward the mound because of my size (I'm 6'9 at 17 years old), but I never committed to pitching cause I didn't want to. I fell out of baseball when I was 15 cause I just never got a hold of hitting. Now I'm trying to put in work to develop my pitching skills so I can play baseball in community college next season after I graduate HS. Then hopefully I get to transfer and play at a bigger school and start getting scouted. Any way I can get back into the game I love, really.
CLEVELAND INDIANS SPORTS TALK belive it or not I was a pitcher in high school and it was my first starting day. And I walked 3 guys in the first inning and some how I got out of the jam with out them scoring
That would be great..my personal reason for asking is because my Son is more comfortable throwing sidearm, as was I..but I’ve seen more and more young pitchers doing it now but don’t seem to have the greatest mechanics while doing it.
After pitching, I usually feel this sorta soreness in the area under my right armpit, is it normal? Beside the obvious bicep and shoulder soreness. Thanks in advance.
i dont know much about baseball but it sounds like you're straining somewhere. ive heard that in cases like this it is best to stop pitching for a bit and re-evaluate your whole form to understand whats causes the soreness that or ask a coach
@@njr-hp9qr thanks for the response, I actually did what you just said, and I have tried a few slightly different mechanics, and I think I've found one that suits me the best. Now, thankfully, I don't think I'll ever have to worry about soreness anymore 😃
Question for you all @Ultimate Baseball Training I have a guy that I work with... He definitely when landing appears to be open with the front foot when I break it down frame by frame, which in turn the causes his front knee not to lock out and get that chest to be over his front knee. This causes him moment on his back leg that is following through to land in front of him, causing a slight falling forward effect.. What type of drills would you recommend to fix this issue? I wish I could send you a video of this to spit fire ideas. Thank you again. From one coach to another
It sounds like a weight distribution problem where he has most of his weight on his front leg when he lands than opposed to being roughly 50/50. The Rocker Drill would be a good drill to start with to fix that and also help him be able to work on a stiff front leg!
on my varsity high school teams the 2 best pitchers wont be playing anymore. I want to learn over the summer how to pitch and get off the bench. Any tips to pitch sidearm?
I’m 12 and I used to play baseball and I might play again as a pitcher. and I can throw it in the low 60s but I have like no training so hopefully this will help
Hello this year I am just starting pitching and I can pitch pretty well in practice and even before a game but as soon as someone gets into the box I freeze and can’t throw well. I don’t know what I can do for this if you could get back to be that would be so helpful and I would be so thankful.
Create a mindset that you own the strike zone. That's your strike zone and no one else gets a piece of it. If you hit a batter it's his fault for stepping in the box. No apologies and no excuses. Next focus on throwing quality pitches for strikes, work on mechanics, but stress nothing and don't overuse yourself. You sound like your fairly young so let time be on your side and perfect your craft.
Coach Justin, Do you do guest instruction for small groups? Would love to fly you out to NC, I have been having my kids watch your videos for the past year and last week they said, "Coach, can you get coach Justin from ultimate baseball training to come work with us?" I know it would be a super long shot but figured I asked to see if something could be worked out later this summer.
In your "hip lead" drill you show in where you lead with your front hip to hit the wall it doesn't look like you are "dropping and driving" on the back leg first before hitting your hip to the wall. Should we have our pitchers focus on dropping and driving as we teach on the mound before hitting the wall with the hip or don't worry about the dropping so much and focus on more leading with the front hip?
The hip drill increases the propensity to "throw up hill." Attempt to generate a power angle a la Paul Reddick, so the release point is out in front of the foot strike...Tom House.
I really needed this I'm 13 (barely turned 13 like 2 and a half months ago) and I'm being a closing pitcher this week and I'm going to be going up against some 14 15 year olds.
I’ve been told to not push with my back leg but to “fall” down the mound and use my hips to create hip shoulder separation. However, in the video he mentions pushing with the back leg. Is this correct or should I be “falling” down the mound? Is it a combination of both?
I have a problem with falling off the mound. How should I try fixing this? I have tried the picturing a line but my right leg swings over almost every time to the point if there was a line drive back to the mound I'd get hit on my right side of my face because im basically looking towards first. I definitely don't want that to happen so my career is not ruined. What kind of things should I try doing?
A drill for that would be to get on the mound and place a bucket right in front of where your follow through leg should be. Start out with minimal effort to get a feel for it and increase the effort as you progress. The goal of this drill is to eliminate falling off and it forces you to get a stiff front leg to not hit the bucket
@@MattSaunders1028 I mean I'm a 6 foot sophmore and have a weight of 160? I lift weights at school Monday through Thursday. I mean I can tell you how much I'm doing?
Decent info but always make sure your stride is as far as possible that creates velo. Also drag the back foot eyes level and stabilize the glove in the front of your body.
Tony P I just got a pitching lesson today and that was my main problem. Keep your foot and leg closed as long as you can, then last second turn it out and pivot your body while you throw, similar to batting. This helped me so much I started throwing MUCH faster when I got it down
Need some help no one can seem to tell me how to fix this. My son is an 8u right handed pitcher. His biggest problem mechanically is that he doesnt swing his back (right) leg around when he pitches the ball, he kind of just drags his right foot forward a little and stops. I try telling him he has to swing that back leg all the way around when he throws. What can we do to fix that? Thanks

Hey coach, when your pitching (11 years old here) how far up should I get my back leg up, halfway?
It should come to your knee to keep balance but gain momentum

my pitching probable put the batter on deck in danger, now hopefully this helps!
Always go back on the windup pitch, that will add more mph, and going sideways will put your momentum off
Right, but you can't always pitch from windup. That's inviting base runners to steal whenever they want.
Great thank you
those hand gestures 😂

Decent info but always make sure your stride is as far as possible that creates velo. Also drag the back foot eyes level and stabilize the glove in the front of your body.
