One of the most common issues I have been seeing among pitchers is opening too soon. This can create issues with body position, arm path and drive foot. Check out this video to see why it's important to REACH first

Best provider on RU-vid for pitching. Love it.

I noticed that my daughter didn't have have a full circle and seemed to be "short arming" her pitches and she also was sometimes getting the ball behind her body and having to come around....exactly as you described. This is very helpful!

Great job Coach! I have a player who’s arm is getting way behind her by opening too soon. She takes pitching lessons from another coach but they never work on this. Her speed has not increased in a year and her accuracy is not good either. The girl works hard, but she wasting time. Have you experienced this and how did you convince her to change?

@FastpitchPower 2 года назад

yes sadly I have seen many pitchers refuse to change mechanics because they don't want to "Start all over" in a sense. But if the pitcher is serious about wanting to take their skill to the next level sometimes they have to. If she is seeing a coach who does not know why her arm is going behind her body or how to fix it then she might continue to have speed/command issues.

Coach Jill- I am wondering if you feel girls with small hands/fingers and shorter arms, who potentially are struggling more with the flexibility through their wrists etc, could have a harder time moving into a complete palm up position? I was a pitcher who struggled with these things. I noticed pitchers with longer arms, hands and longer fingers have an easier time moving their hand into that position. Watching pitchers such as Amanda Scarborough, she utilizes forearm fire but her palm does not seem to be as up as yours is. Just wondering for some feedback! Thanks

My daughter has an issue with not have a straight arm at the bottom and sidearming at the bottom. She is 12 by the way. I have put her against a wall both pitching with a ball and with the xelerator but she continues to struggle with it. Do you have advice or a video to help with this?

Great video thank you! but how long does a pictcher stay in the reach position how far does a pitcher let there drag foot drag away from the rubber before transitioning into power k position 6 inches ,1 foot,1foot and a half?

What strength trianing would you say would help my pitcher from having her drive foot collapse.

@FastpitchPower 2 года назад

Drive foot collapse typically has to do with a weakness in what is referred to as the posterior chain. This includes the glutes, hamstrings, calves. It can also be a weakness in the hips

When my daughter pitches alot of the pitches are in the left handed batters box. She is a right handed pitcher how can i correct that and have the ball more over the plate is it because she is opening up to soon.

@FastpitchPower 2 года назад

Really it can be caused by a lot of things, hard to know without seeing her. The most typical cause of outside pitches for a righty is using the shoulders too much

@@joelisi7406 one of my recent videos is called "hips and shoulders in pitching." that tells you what the shoulders are supposed to look like throughout the pitch. If you are looking for drills, I have tons that help with this issue on Fastpitch Power+!
