Im 17 and have never played baseball, I got into it freshman year and tried out and didn't make it. I'm a junior now and want to tryout, and I've been practicing and your videos are really helpful.

@Christopher-ld5wg 9 лет назад

Same here

@cesarrubi6031 9 лет назад

I wish you luck Jacob, It's amazing but usually baseball is not really a get quick rich sport , in other words, it takes time, no matter your athletic skills,... you really got into it late...I will give you one advice, find yourself a good coach that knows what he is doing, and practice, practice, and more practice . Check back with us and write to us about your progress.

@jakesalinas_ 9 лет назад

hey thanks, and yeah so far so good

@jacobhernandez8413 8 лет назад

+Jacob Salinas yeah my coach says I have problem with my movement,I tried out and made it but I need to get better in throwing,getting into baseball early is good,I'm 12 but I have played baseball in almost 6 years

@korukai_gaming4861 7 лет назад

Pizzaboxx same but I've been playing for a while need to get throwing down thoe

@sword_cast3805 10 лет назад

This video rocks! My Mom doesn't know how to throw a ball so it's been a big help. Now I might have a chance of catching some. Thank you.

@DionMorales10 11 лет назад

Matty, I'd like to thank you for your work on these videos. Before high school I quit baseball because I was constantly told I was doing things wrong but was never told WHAT was right. I have started playing again and your clear instructions have allowed me to work on all my skills with recognizable results. Last season was ok and the next will be better!

@geoemrick 11 лет назад

I've seen a lot of folks teach the wrong way to throw, and I was afraid this guy was going to be the same. But I'm going to recommend these videos to anybody who wants to see the correct methods, because this is exactly how it should be done. Great video.

@lamtatyan 4 года назад

Among many throwing teaching videos, yours does have ball-throwing demonstrations. Very helpful! Thanks!

Hey Matt, in high school i threw left handed and mostly played outfield and first base, but I wanted to be a middle infielder. This Video and your instruction helped me make my right arm strong to prep for right hand throwing. It was really motivational because I thought I'd never throw right handed. Now I'm in college playing second base. Thanks so much

@johnlewis429 7 лет назад

These videos help me as a coach to the younger kids. Thank you sooo much for taking the time and doing these.

@Lewey52 11 лет назад

Awesome video! Had a scout approach me a few years back and told me to add 5mph on to my fastball and he'd take me to spring training. I separated my shoulder 2 weeks after and since then I haven't been able to get my form back. I let my overall form get sloppy infield and outfield which probably contributes to my shoulder hurting. Correcting my form and using more body than just arm should help a ton! Thanks for the great vid!

@uscgkid109 11 лет назад

@MrTekuani 12 лет назад

Fantastic video. Puts the main drills I try to teach my players into one video that I can send to my kids' parents. Now if I can just get my parents to take some responsibility and play catch with their kids!

@ventuscj31 12 лет назад

this is gonna help me a lot, i threw my arm out so many times last season because i was using the wrong mechanics to prevent my wild throws.

@timhorton4269 11 лет назад

I do this before every one of my games and it really helps to loosen up my arm.

@ProSwingNY 12 лет назад

Mr. Tekuani, I'm very excited you find the video useful. We'll be doing an entire coaching series soon that shows backup and coverage responsibilities on every possible situation! We're actually getting it from the L.A. Dodgers! Stay tuned and thanks for being a great fan!

@Aussiebaseballer1 11 лет назад

I am a Division 1 ball player and I have been in a bit of a throwing slump at 3rd base. I needed to help and I wanted to hear it from another coach.. This helped alot! Great video! BTW it took alot for me to watch a youtube clip on how to throw. I had to put ego aside

@tyroneparker8399 11 лет назад

I turn 21 september 12th and out of nowhere baseball has become very interesting to me... Im athletic, quick, and coachable. nothing is impossible.

@lalgee4829 10 лет назад

These are great videos. they are very helpful and detailed I WORK PLAYERS FROM 5 TO 18.

@ProSwingNY 12 лет назад

Hey Bud, you can fix your accuracy! Try searching for our video, "Finding the Seams." You could be holding the ball in a funky way, which could be affecting your release point. Most likely your release point is the issue. Ball SAILING over their head? Releasing too early. Sending it into the dirt?! Then you're holding on to it too long. You'll figure it out! -Coach Matty

This is a great video man! I messed up my arm when little (Im a teen) and basically forgot how to through the correct way. I can do the seams really well, no problem. But now I'm working on my through the way you showed and I have really improved. Thnx!

@brianpowell464 7 лет назад

I'm 14 ready to be a freshman and I've played baseball all my life but I've noticed that my arm was in pain after every game....I wasn't throwing the ball right, but this video will help me figure that out

@7771johnyboy 13 лет назад

thanks man this video really helped me warm up before games and practices.

@petegardner1184 10 лет назад

Well done . Very clear and easy to follow.

@paulwatson449 8 лет назад

Step 1 does not exist in an actual throw. The elbow is not just in front of the body when you throw. The elbow is out front and beside the body. If you are going to do any kind of wrist flips, be sure to keep your elbow above the shoulder and to the side when you start and then it comes forward from there--where it will be when you actually throw a ball. We aren't throwing darts, we are throwing baseballs!

@vojtechprochazka 11 лет назад

Great video!! Could you post a video on how to warm-up the whole body before hitting the field? What kind of stretches, running etc. should one do. I am coming from a thigh injury and I struggle to find a good stretching/warm-up routine. Best, keep up the good work!

@ThePurpleCow 6 лет назад

I'm a junior cricket coach and I have started to use this system for teaching the kids I coach. I think cricket coaches should spend more time learning from baseball coaches because the mechanics of fielding are more or less the same for both sports. I suspect baseball coaches have fogptten more about throwing than the average cricket coach has ever known.

@bi5116 11 лет назад

thanks for the clarification!!! :D

@wladya1970 11 лет назад

Hey, Matt, thanks for your wonderful videos. I have a question for you: my 10 years old kid is capable of throwing at 52 mph, but he is not very accurate. He is a righty and most of the time he is a bit off (missing the outside corner of the plate). What would you recommend to develop his accuracy, or create some consistency in his delivery? Thanks!

@melizabeth1.069 6 лет назад

I’m 13 and I play SS the only reason why I’m here is because I have a problem of throw like a Sumerian throw or side arm throw and my coach said if u keep throw like that u won’t be able to play SS so I came to this channel and my other coach said if you keep throwing sidearm or Sumerian throw that elbow is gonna come out of its socket so I basically wanna keep playing SS and I don’t want my elbow to come out of my socket so yea and this is Middle School baseball and I’m gonna play next year which I’ll definitely make but like I’m just scared my elbow will come out of place

@kaneki7037 6 лет назад

I’m here because I’m a lefty and I only play pitcher and 1st so I’m trying to throw righty so I can play more positions

@ProSwingNY 12 лет назад

Short-arming is very common in young ballplayers. Watch this video again closely and see the arm angle I have in the last two progressions. Then what you need to do, is have someone video tape YOU making throws. VIDEOS NEVER LIE! If you can see yourself short-arming it, you'll then start to recognize what that feeling is, and then learn to detach that feeling and make a larger "C" with your arm as you get into your power position. Practice Makes Perfect! Let me know how it goes. -Coach Matty

@nicolasrupinski3307 4 года назад

I know!

@michaelroseman421 11 лет назад

Is he tucking his glove into his body. I once had that problem, bringing the glove in will help the accuracy and release point. If that does not work look at the realieade point . Hope this helps

@kiwankwak4437 10 лет назад

are there exercises to fix bad throwing habits?

@vermontskates123 11 лет назад

I pitch for my team, but this year its hurts really bad in my elbow if i throw more than 10 full force pitches. My arm hyper extends more than 40 percent, but it has never been a problem before. i am 16 years old, if you could answer why this is happening that would be GREAT -thanks :)

@mrfastball99 11 лет назад

Hey man I have a similar glove, the Rawlings gold glove gamer, except I have a trapeze web! Anyways, these vids are awesome, im getting better everyday and I think these vids will be my road to the allstar team

@PoutinePete 7 лет назад

People laugh at me when I throw the ball from outfield during our companies 'charity softball games'. One obnoxious coworker says that I throw like his Great Aunt Mable (who turns out is dead). The taunts really sting, and I'm glad noone sees the tears in my eyes way out in center field! Anyway, awesome video!

@masterbigfoot 10 лет назад

Sigh.... I miss baseball.... great video though. I might convince myself to coach little league when I get back to home to Colorado.

@Sheetalhetal22 11 лет назад

I am a high school baseball player. I can throw well, I am working on improving my mechanics, but how can i just flat -out throw harder? like pro players the way the ball just seems to fly out of their hands..... how can i throw faster whether pitching or from shortstop?

@JohnMcMahan5 10 лет назад

My son gets into the power position well. However, when he rotates his hips to throw, his forearm begins to bend in toward his head. Any pointers or drills to help a 5 year old correct this before it becomes a bad habit? Thanks.

@JohnMcMahan5 10 лет назад

Figured it out. He wasn't breaking with fingers down. It's fixed.

@anthonyt.384 11 лет назад

Im a begginer and I need help with this. Can you help with being accurate?

@azFreshToDeath 11 лет назад

Hey Matt. I play third and whenever I throw, I throw a curveball. It really is frustrating because i throw over the top, have a four seam grip, and throw behind the ball. I try to snap my wrist down, but it always curves. I know this because my coach drew a line around the ball and if I threw it straight, it would line up, but it didnt. It is effecting my playing time and i hate it. Help!

@TheBoyager8 12 лет назад

i kind of have the same problem with the wild throws but i never broke my wrist or anything .. i just throw wild and its really frustrating. I can hit and catch ground balls and i run decent speed but i just cant make a f***ing throw !!!

I love baseball and i really need help

@sadsadsaddas31 10 лет назад

I suck at baseball I just can't do anything for some reason. I am forced to join every year cause the team never has a full team. I throw terible and I can't catch, when it is hit to me I get hit instead of the glove. I think I'm done.
