Is your kid both a pitcher AND infielder? If so, then this pro tip could be a HUGE key to improving infield throwing accuracy.
First, let me say this - If your player is both pitching and playing infield, then that's fantastic.
I highly recommend that players learn as many positions as they can. It will make you more valuable to teams/coaches, and more likely to succeed in baseball.
For me personally, I always thought of myself as a pitcher in high school.
But I made it to the Major Leagues as an infielder.
If I had "put all of my eggs in one basket," I never would have paid for college with scholarship, or played professionally for 16 years.
My dream would have ended with mediocre college career (and a lot more college debt), because I never would have discovered what I'm actually good at.
Anyways, moving on...
Pitching AND playing the infield can lead to some difficulties.
Today's video is about one VERY common problem that happens when the player is trying to switch to "infield mode"
...but is still doing this one particular part of his throwing mechanics like a pitcher.
This one habit can WRECK throwing accuracy.
Suddenly players are throwing balls into the bleachers...
...or spiking into the ground.
But when you know what to look for, the throwing mechanics are easily fixed. Hope this video helps.
