[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Oh wow. Congrats to you and your son. I wish him a ton of success. It's a pleasure getting to work with so many and when they work so hard to make it to affiliate and get the opportunity it's very exciting. Truly appreciate the kind words and support. Please don't be a stranger and let me know how you boy is doing along the way.

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment Will do! Thanks!

[@HIMMY425]

Would a 9 yr old do these all these drills from their normal pitching distance??

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Yes. I would start them from flat ground and then build the drills into their actual mound routine. If positively re-enforced you will see a significant improvement over 4-6 weeks.

[@CH-ng8jz]

That’s great, is there a typical daily/weekly total pitch count for practice for 9/10 year olds? To not over do it.

[@DavidEstabrook-uz5fp]

Coach, I'm 58 and pitch some in adult leagues and have a fairly strong arm for my advanced years. I find your j-band exercises and your youth pitching techniques very instructive. We're never too old to take good information from knowledgeable people to better ourselves. I'm looking forward to throwing harder with what your videos offer. Thank you! David

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Very welcome glad to hear you're still playing. Baseball is a life event and a lifestyle that some of us can never get rid of. Cheers buddy.

I’m coaching 6 year olds. Do you have an estimate of how many of each drill you should do before moving onto the next one? Or do you only do 1 drill till you think they have a pretty good hang of it? Hope you can help. Excellent video.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

8-10 reps is probably enough. I don't like heavy volume on younger arms.

[@TXSuburbanHomestead]

This has been so very helpful for my 9-year old. They're such simple drills that have been so very impactful on him. Thanks for posting this series of youth drills and mechanics basics.

9 week throwing velocity and training program is available here armpitching.etsy.com/listing/1654148989/9-week-throwing-velocity-training

[@Shootskas]

My son is starting kid pitch in the fall. I have been teaching him what I know about the windup, but I hear conflicting opinions on whether or not to use the windup. Some people are saying to start kids out with the stretch. What is your opinion? Should I even teach him the windup?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Hey thanks for reaching out. My opinion, you should start from the stretch position. More time than not you will be doing this anyway as anytime a runner reaches base. Just try to keep things as simple as possible when first starting out. He can get into the wind up later.

[@martincarter229]

Try this with twins (9 yr daughter and 9 yr son). This has really helped my both of them. My son went from throwing 10 foot lobs to throwing strikes in a 2 or 3 weeks. Daughter has improved greatly as well where she can comfortably reach the plate in practice. Towards the end of our little league season, we started to do this with our U10 little leaguers. I am pretty sure that our pitchers would have improved. Bite size and easy to teach. Thanks for this great video. Just wondering if you have a recommendation for 9 yr to improve velocity.

[@christianapologia]

How often and how long did you do these drills before seeing improvement?

[@jeremycone2856]

I'm by no means a pro ballplayer, but I pitched from age 8 to age 23 in college. I now coach both my son and daughter in baseball and softball. At age 12 and under is to focus on proper pitching form and technique. Increased Velocity will soon follow with proper mechanics achieved. Also keep the pitching reps low or you'll burn their little arms out quickly!

[@SteveTabs645]

Awesome video...my sons 9 and just started pitching...this will definitely help. I had a question, do I need to have the 44 to 46 feet distance between the pitcher's mound and home plate or can this be done in the garage? Thanks again 👍🏼

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Hi Steve. Thanks for the support 🙏. For a 9u guy you can certainly do forms in the garage. It's more about getting the body to move right vs strength and distance. Start short and work your way back on the build up and low balance drill. The finish drill is a shorter distance drill at about 12-15 feet.

[@SteveTabs645]

[@ryancrouley8264]

In the scarecrow drill you have the ball pointing back and down with the wrist curved. Why? I thought the ball should be pointed in the same direction of your chest as there is no reason to rotate your wrist until release.

[@jasonmitchell5692]

How many reps per drill and should you do these drills in sequence every day or 3 days a week? 8u team working to get ready for 9u season.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

3 days should be good. You could do them daily if you want. I think 5 or 6 per each drill would be good. Depending on strength of the pitcher and work load you are having them on. ;)

Love these drills. My 10 year old had been doing them 4 times a week for about 4 weeks. I need some advice or a drill on how to correct his arm/ wrist. He starts fingers away good pronation but immediately turns his wrist to ball facing him as soon a he starts going forward and has no arm action. Thanks.

[@anthonymcculley7711]

I have been trying my best to help my 9 year old son who just started pitching. He is in a fall league right now that is player pitch (his past leagues have been coach pitch). Needless to say, he has had a lot of trouble trying to hit some of these pitches at speeds he's never faced before (playing with guys up to 13 years old) so him pitching is keeping him excited about this league. His coach tells me that he has a strong arm for his age and lots of potential so I am trying to work with him at home as much as possible. We have a rebound net set at 46 feet from a spot in the yard and he has been throwing from it. He has made some great pitches but seems to have the most trouble with command. I am going to try these breakdowns you showed in this video. I really think they will be a big help to him!

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Awesome thanks so much for sharing with me I hope the best for you and your son and I'm sure over time he's going to be great. Keep learning and keep growing. You got this!

Coach Jason, I have a pitching student who is 9 years old who throws with an inverted W. The problem is that his timing is so bad that nearly everything he throws is high arm-side. Should I change this pitcher to circle-up?? It seems like it would be a better arm action.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Yeah certainly give that a shot or you can start by training when the front foot lands then his arm spirals up and maybe dry run that a few times to see if it helps with the timing. Good luck to you buddy

[@martyrawdog]

Golden... keep the content coming.. New sub

[@tootallforbaseball]

Coach Jason, I had a pitching student that I had worked with for several months in the past come to our facility to take a lesson last night. We hadn't seen him in probably 8 months or so, but he has now started taking his hand out of his glove at hand break with absolutely no arm path whatsoever (no circle down and around) to his fully cocked position. I told him that the short arm path is kind of the "in" thing, and that he should at least have "some" sort of circling around motion, even if it is shorter than he used to use. What is your advice to a pitcher who has morphed into zero arm path to the early cocking phase?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Well my thought is that you have a philosophy of what you feel is an adequate arm action and he has asked you for help. Without taking the athletes ability in movement feel your job is to coach him safe and as correct to the best of your ability. As a coach I only bring water to my athletes. I can't make them drink, they have to want to drink. Thanks for reaching out buddy.

His arm strength is where it needs to be now, but he is inconsistent inning to inning. We are going to use these drills to get him back on track.

[@PedroRodriguez-xj9fo]

What angle should foot be in when landing from load, 45,90*?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Yeah good question. 45 would be better than 90 on this drill. The main point is when you commit the throw / pitch you want to reach full hip shoulder separation so a more squared approach to the target keeping the shoulder back the better. It will feel awkward. But trained well over time will provide some great results when pitching. Thanks for the great question and support buddy. :)
