How To Immediately Improve Pitching Command

[@treadathletics]

What are some command tips or cues that you've come up with?

[@matthewmaloney3375]

Throw it hard in case it’s a strike

[@MaDkOrNfLaKeS]

I think it starts in warm-ups. From the first throw to the last, you're throwing to a strike zone. A pitch to the shoulder/head is a ball, practice throwing strikes even in practice

[@SkreltNL]

KICKBOXING! I learned to kick/punch harder by going "through" the target. It also teaches you about footwork, how far you need to stand apart in order to use the rear hand, etc. etc. Its both moving kinetic energy through the body as efficient as possible. Kinda cool how well it translates for me.

[@francoperez769]

"Kill the catcher with a blow to the chest", that's the best thing that has worked for me

[@lucaspedregon2691]

i think that the best thing I've done, since i'm a hard thrower with now good acuarcy, but was kinda sucky with my command before is having your glove arm side trap face the plate and then when you land your front foot, you rotate, and it will have a better staying on point with the pitch and also ups the velocity for pitchers that have early rotation

[@uhhcoolstory5627]

Exactly. Had a pitching coach tell me when we were warming up that he’ll tell me to close my eyes at a certain point. Literally said close right as I’d rotate into layback and I hit him in the chest every time. Just don’t think about it and just fucking throw

[@uhhcoolstory5627]

Visualizing before the throw is still good though. But when it comes time to throw, just fucking throw. Same when picking up balls and tossing them in the bucket. Just toss it and don’t think about it as you’re doing it.

Thanks for this I know a usf collage pitcher and he told me to look at this and it helped me a lot

[@treadathletics]

Glad you found this helpful!

Something I want to say is if you are pulling your pitches it could mean your not tucking in your glove and your arm is just out

[@jrmproductions3569]

This is a huge piece that tons of youth pitchers don't know how to do

[@thomasindler1576]

Great advice. / my son over Antilles & worrying there hit or being taken out by coatch.,/ but loves to throw hard.

[@jeffmilroy9345]

Find a steep hill and pitch on parkway sidewalk at the very crest. Tell your catching partner to be a real busterd. Tell him to swing a strike circle with his glove hand. Or wear a bright tee shirt and only catch a pitch blocked by the shirt. If the pitch is outside that target he must let it go. You will get roadwork and also really tighten the screws on building command.

[@milkcarton1553]

does it help anyone else when their catcher has confindence in you as a pitcher, or the chemistry is high bewteen the catcher and pitcher. for me when i have chemistry with a cathcer it helps me.

[@willybilly9553]

hey ben im a big fan of yours and i was wondering if you can do a mechanical breakdown on a lefty because i like to watch your mechanical breakdowns on big leaguers and i want to set myself up side by side of a lefty because i am also lefty

[@Gamingfantic1]

Thank you so much. I was throwing all over the place. Until I found this video and after watching this I was in the strike zone consistently

[@martinvandenbosch4748]

Awesome approach!

[@tornado6340]

I'm going to try this with my kiddo today. He's coming in for relief tonight and has had some command issues recently. Thanks for this and we'll see how it goes!
