Gotta love youtube comments. These are drills designed to emphasize on certain areas of the pitching motion. Obviously, this pitcher isn't going to pitch like that in a game. These work on balance, arm circle speed, efficiency, and a ton of leg drive which is something a lot of pitchers are lacking right now. Again, these are DRILLS.

[@marcjenkins2081]

wheykrayz, these are some of the dumbest drills Ive ever seen. Period. End of discussion. Whats next? A cartwheel and then throw! get outta here.

[@theupsman2012]

Nothing beats repetitive practice. Practice what you do in a game and repeat.

[@IceCream-ey2kg]

@@theupsman2012 yeah unless you have the incorrect mechanics. Then you're just reinforcing bad habits and you'll never improve.

[@mr.x8391]

Nice set of pitching drills.

[@celiar1726]

I play first base, what am I doing here?

[@marypattroisi7098]

Me too but I training to become a pitcher

[@lestergomezministeriouncam8616]

Lol same I'm a catcher and a 3rd base

[@olivia488]

i’m a pitcher

[@jazminarns4818]

this was very good video i think it will help me pitch faster and better

[@NEEZYDONN]

That was a beautiful pitch

[@topherrozay1391]

This helped me so much

[@時々息子ch]

アメリカ式ウインドミルの基本の投げ方ですね ありがとうございます！

[@sofiasetim7980]

Í do exercises differents but it's very good too

[@destinyygoodger1011]

u did great 💝

[@addisondavis8607]

Okay,anybody who wants to be a pitcher in softball,never,and I mean NEVER face straight when you pitch.Also,don’t let your hand touch your shoulder,if you snap it right and stay loose,you’re hand will rollover and fall back down

[@kinleymarek6678]

Addison Davis She never got her hips fully out of the way. Which loses speed as well as what you said. That was pretty said if she's taking lessons from a person that teaches that.

[@jelenagardner3704]

she can face straight as long as she turns throughout her pitch. she should pivot her hips outward, with her knee high and momentum forward, and the arm should follow suit, never letting the non dominant arm//glove hand out of the drive line. she should then follow through, with a foot drag or a legal plant, and finish her hand upwards as she did. she was turning throughout her pitch, she just finished forward.

[@livalittle13]

That hello elbow bs

[@IceCream-ey2kg]

@@jelenagardner3704 the original commenter was right, her hand should follow through facing the ground, not fling upwards towards her shoulder. She's doing hello elbow, which isn't as effective as forearm fite

[@coraline-20]

Wow , gracias. A practicar ‼️

[@ewilsonheritage]

Question... What is your take on pitchers, like the one in the video who slap their leg with their glove. I have always had the thought that it doesn't really gain the pitcher anything but does allow the hitter to get the timing better on the pitcher. Thoughts?

[@user-xq6rk5kx8p]

素晴らしい💟

[@ifayee]

i’ve been through professional training and many of these drills are not useful. your arm speed has very little to do with how fast you pitch. it is mainly based on momentum, a far stride and an arm like a “whip”, (how my coach described it). these drills will overwork your arm and possibly promote injury. over doing your “windmill” will simply hurt your shoulder, and you’ll get less practice that’s actually useful out of it, because you’ll get sore quicker and quicker. i spent years working on pretty much just gaining momentum from my legs and i got my pitches up to high fifties at age 12.

[@nancysimpson5137]

i do softball and im a pitcher

Dang it it's at Texas

[@danielstride2276]

Nice pitching drills but that back foot not closing and and dragging up side down is killing me

[@vinodmeenameenaraj9357]

Nice video

[@shuna55]

こんなになげ方あるのか...

[@juanmiguel3395]

Interesting seeing training for softball pitching compared to baseball

[@kariewasteney7282]

I am a pitcher like if you are i am pretty good i am only 10 and can pitch from 45 feet thats pretty good i think i have pitching lessons every other Wednesday

[@kylee3330]

What is this place called?

[@timothydabriel2463]

One step two step then hold and throw

[@katchup_not_ketchup]

These are cray ways on how to pitch. None of them help me though

[@holly-vc8pd]

how does this even help you?

[@spam4650]

Holly Lian Helps you with your pitching duh

[@holly-vc8pd]

how does this help you with your pitching? huh?

[@ezzyaka]

Holly Lian they’re drills to make you get better? Are you dumb?

[@dustinyoung426]

This are drills.

[@IceCream-ey2kg]

@@holly-vc8pd literally says it right before each section. Arm speed, front side resistance, etc. These are all crucial for a good pitcher

[@cksquad5381]

Your a very good pitcher except your foot was a little behind

[@I_Eat_Meat12345]

What exactly is this supposed to do?

[@topherrozay1391]

I_Eat_Meat pitch faster

[@gracestevens189]

Help you pitch. Duh

[@yoongispillow8527]

Yeah you can pitch faster but what does it do to pitch faster when you’re not consistent! Pitch faster all you want that’s all these drills help you with. But being consistent is the key and from the looks of it THESE DRILLS MAKE YOU THROW BALLS ALL OVER THE PLACE A

[@yoongispillow8527]

Alyssa Oleszak you do use muscle memory and all these drill are creating bad habits!

[@yoongispillow8527]

Alyssa Oleszak all these drills are terrible habits such as stepping off your power line, creating the habit of double stepping when pushing off the mound, messing up the muscle memory! Not even to mention the Excelerator you are NOT supposed to swing it around that fast you could hurt your arm idc how strong you are. You can have speed all you want but what does it do if you can’t hit your spots OR throw a strike ? That’s what I’m trying to say

[@dayanafermainttmedero8084]

Yo juego 💖💖💖💖

[@jeffhubbard8492]

That’s a good drill. But, if you want to play fast pitch, why not just play baseball? That seems to make better sense to me.

[@americabriseno174]

This is teaching bad mechanics and will get someone injured. The way you practice is the way you play.

[@katieisfunnyiguess]

America Briseno Not necessarily. These are drills to help you get warmed up or to increase speed and better mechanics. You should always do drills before doing your full motion.

[@georgebroeren1617]

@@katieisfunnyiguess Watch closely, one BIG flaw!

[@fastpitchsoftball7542]

The upper pull of the arm on follow thru is a waste of energy.. I don't see the usefulness in skipping and hopping in the drills. To produce a stable and powerful throwing platform use a good muscle specific training program.

[@maleyvapardo4757]

Fastpitch Softball can you keep your rude comments to your self please

[@rominanieto9051]

😘😘😘

[@alanwilds721]

I see a lot of bad mechanics, overstressed joints (because of bad mechanics) and things that elite pitchers simply do not do in these videos.

[@garymullican6754]

Joke!

[@user-kq8dp5nk4b]

理に叶ってんか？

[@useclevernameherable]

Yeah these look they create a lot of bad mechanics.

[@edwards46765]

what did I just watch

[@NEEZYDONN]

Wtf! Read the title

[@edwards46765]

Nathaline Ali fuck urself g

[@shannonasuncion02]

I'm sorry but you are wasting time and energy by doing these leg drills. I have never seen any pitching coach teach a child to hop, skip, run or run backwards to help them pop off the mound. Dumbest thing I've ever seen! I hope she doesn't get injure eventually from them mindless training.

[@hadleyiskindacool8689]

Ohana Love rude

[@randomperson-qq6it]

Ohana Love gotta agree

[@alexpaige4279]

It helps with your legs bc you want them to be exploding off the bag... me and a few friends got to take a course with Amanda Scarborough and we did a few of those leg drills.

[@maleyvapardo4757]

Ohana Love they are trying to help a lot of people Pitch and that is very rude of you to say

[@spam4650]

Do you do softball ?

[@essiemurphy2286]

all bad habits. will do nothing but teach crow hopping which is illegal in softball. this video sucks

[@rubys.trevinorn7239]

Essie Murphy true

[@jewel7408]

Actually it helps you create power. And they can't be illegal if it's drills. Lol

[@hinzk5475]

Essie Murphy crow hopping is just fine

[@isabellaherb2216]

It’s called drills sis

[@karlgross3520]

Agreed. My kid struggles with that. We have a drill where she pitches off of a 6ft long 2x6. Like a balance beam laying on the ground. Helps with her consistency. Works for her.

[@gdbigchicken8177]

Gay

[@stringtherapy7577]

Stop dragging that back foot you are losing power and movement on the ball by doing that....

[@everjelly3261]

StringTherapy if you don’t drag the back foot it is an illegal pitch

[@katieisfunnyiguess]

Clearly, you've never pitched. You have to drag your back foot otherwise it's an illegal pitch.

[@stringtherapy7577]

Thanks for the update...... in the era I pitched in (world class level) there was no such thing as a foot drag...not even for woman....but then that was many many moons ago

[@JayleenGuan]

StringTherapy bro u lying. U sure u play "world class level"?? U have to drag ur back foot or else it's a illegal pitch.

[@stringtherapy7577]

You must be very young to call someone a liar.....when I pitched we had to keep both feet in contact with the pitching rubber until we started our motion... the pivot foot, or the back foot, had to stay in contact with the rubber until the ball was released... if the back foot lost contact with the pitching rubber before the ball was released it was an illegal pitch...and yes I played and umpired in both the ISC and ASA open travel division...you might want to look up some videos by Bill Hillhouse ..one of the best pitchers and teachers in the world before you make a bigger fool put of your young self
