Hey man, last month I watched your videos and i used all of your tips and I threw my first shutout. Thank you for being such a great informative coach!

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

This is fantastic thank you so much for sharing this with me really made my day I'm so glad this helped please keep me up as you progress very happy for you

[@katherineshaffer9185]

nice job

[@wheelinthesky300]

I'm glad you mention body types and natural delivery angles determine arm slots. It is not one size fits all on grips.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

💯 buddy

[@ChristianJohnson-yb8hy]

Thank you for this video, last year I started playing baseball, I had a very rough time and have set goals to get better, your video helped out a lot I started developing a good changeup after watching. Thank you.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

@@ChristianJohnson-yb8hy that's awesome buddy. Hope you have a great season.

[@alfund1]

Thank you for all lessons. This video in particular is fantastic. Your conservative approach for young pitchers is exactly what should be taught to protect their arms. Unfortunately many travel ball coaches don’t have the child’s safety as their first priority. Thank you again.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Really appreciate the support. Hope you guys have a great fall season and seasons to come. 🙏

Best Pitching Grips Video EVER!👍👏

[@chrismills8255]

Thanks for this. I’ve been coaching my son for a few years and this season the kids start pitching. I wanted to figure out what’s safe to teach them for their young arms. The 60% rule is a great idea/motivation.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Thanks for the support and good luck with the season

[@easyl3492]

Thank you very much I was struggling how my coach was teaching my how to pitch and you make a lot easier thank you again💯💯👌

[@joelfuller5825]

Great demonstration and information.

[@tootallforbaseball]

Great job, Coach Jason. Very informative!! College coaches love a sinker!!

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Thank you so much. Yes as a college pitching coach I loved guys with movement and spin. Appreciate you reaching out and keep me up on how things are going.

[@tootallforbaseball]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment By the way, my son and I teach pitching and hitting at a facility owned by a former coach of his. We use the PitchLogic system, which is a very inexpensive version of a Rapsodo. I think your students would get a kick out of seeing the numbers from their spin. We have iPads that connect to an Apple TV and a router that is projected onto 2 screens in the facility, one for the parents and one for the player. Are you using some sort of pitching software in your facility?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

I have a partnership with them. I train about 100 guys a week so the ball gets worn out really quick. We only use it once in a while. The information is nice to see. The charging setup is a challenge and it only syncs up part time. I have some pain with this product. Thanks for sharing.

[@tootallforbaseball]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment I see. I do have issues with too many that don't read, and that is an aggravation I must admit. With 100 guys a week, maybe the Rapsodo is the better option. I really enjoy your videos! Well presented and easy to follow.

[@westcoastballers6886]

I wish I had you as my pitching coach. I love that 60 percent rule

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

[@rohanmusic9240]

My son plays for the MLB and he learned pitching from this website

[@MrCooleBeansCards]

This helped me a lot! Only thing was after trying the change-up, my pitches slowed down a ton. For now I’m not throwing a change-up, but do you have any tips to throw a good change-up and not slow down.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Start by throwing the hell out of it. Treat it like a fastball. Have a good feel for the pitch and then if you want to try slowing down your army could try that by dragging your back foot through the pitch and extension through the release point.

[@russellaustin4960]

Love the information. Reiterating what I’ve been doing with my up and coming 9 year old. Thanks coach

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Thanks for all the support buddy really appreciate you best of luck to you guys

[@EquityCall]

When I see travel coaches destroying their 11u kids arms to win a cheap trophy, I lose hope in youth baseball. Then I watch your videos and my hope is restored that there are still great coaches out there.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

OMG..thank you so much for this comment. This made my week. I just shared this with 13 other coaches in a meeting to reinforce why we do / teach the way we do. Super appreciative of you sir.

[@EquityCall]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment i use your videos to help my son and his team. I'm sure that there are many more youth ball coaches out there watching too. Your coaching is helping alot of kids. Thank you sir

[@Emeljay518]

That’s all they are doing . Cheap ring and boost their egos.

[@MattmanAZ09]

I don’t get the fascination with the curve ball at youth levels in today’s age. I mix in 4 seam and sinkers in bp and the kids are regularly miss hitting due to the slight movement and hit grounders after the first few sinkers proceeded by several 4 seam pitches. It only takes a little movement on a sinker and it’s easier to throw for strikes than a curve. I feel the 2 seam is similar. Maybe a shade faster with slightly less movement?

[@micahrockwell9615]

Do you have a video outlining what ages are appropriate for what kinds/how much throwing? Don't want to ruin my kid's arm before he has a chance to really compete like I did to mine.

[@blaykem724]

Good vid coach Jason, it’s Blayke

Thanks buddy. Always appreciate your support. See you this week 👊

[@judelouk9646]

I'm 13 and yesterday in a game I threw 47 pitches. They couldn't hit my curve ball so I threw it 44 times and a sinker 3 times. Should I throw my sinker more if my curveball is working?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Might be a bit much on the CB. Probably 33% FB 66% other or 50/50 depending on the day and what's working.

[@judelouk9646]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment Okay thank you!

[@QwerkyCuber]

@@judelouk9646 lol I know I’m a bit late but I’d recommend establishing your fastball so the off speed is unexpected

[@amoazed]

What is your recommendation for a young pitcher (9) whose fingers are coming off the side on his fastball delivery and not pushing through the ball? My son throws hard but the ball has a bullet spin and very little backspin. He is small for his age if that makes a difference with grip.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Try using 3 fingers vs two and maybe get the thumb under his middle finger on the ball. Try to get his arm extension and to rotate with the thumb down after the the throw. Hope that works for y'all.

[@amoazed]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment thanks for the response and recommendation. Will give it a try!

[@ComoDaGoat]

I had to come back to this video

[@RadBadBoys]

Thanks for sharing coach..I have question if you don't mind answering....how many pitches should a kid throw in practice and how many days a week?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

2 to 3 days a week 25 or so pitches. Thought of it depends on the age of the kid as well good luck to you thanks for checking out the video have a great day

[@RadBadBoys]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment thanks coach. They are 11u..where are you located?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment damn..I'm in California ..have a good week coach...I appreciate the advice.🤙

[@MichaelBenninger]

Thank You

[@lucasxavier3564]

I pitch at a 4 and 5 (with a 6-12-6 Curve that I want to learn). I also have little speed as I only pitch causally and throw all off speed and breaking save a 2seam. Any tips?

[@jeffd2532]

My 8u comes off of the side of the ball quite often. It's his natural motion and it's not too severe, but I am wondering how I can get him to have less supination amd be more "through the ball".

[@mississippisnowplow]

How do you feel about a 13 year old who has a tendency to go sidearm. Do you think sidearm is safe for someone that age?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

If they are certain that's the way they want to pitch go for it. Work on movements and getting stronger to handle the way he wants to pitch will be helpful. Good luck

[@mississippisnowplow]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment Thanks so much for your reply. He throws 3/4 and as much as he’s been taught body mechanics, he always reverts back to bad body mechanics that has his arm hurting. I have to remind myself he has a long way to go developmentally. He hasn’t hit his growth spurt yet. I’m sure a lot will change after that. I just don’t want him to hurt his arm.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Try to at least make sure he's not dragging his arm through the throw. Have a strong and stable glove side and let the ball get ahead of his chest before / heading into trunk flexion will save some wear and tear on shoulder and elbow. Make sure hes staying on top of the ball as well from break to external arm rotation. Hope this helps ;)

[@mississippisnowplow]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment you’ve been a big help sir. Thanks so much.

[@friendlybacon3683]

good video

[@Shadow-ml6qp]

How many pitches should i have in my arsenal?

[@max.hurwitz19]

Do you have tips for soreness

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Soreness usually has to do with lactic acid build up I suggest you do a good recovery program after the athlete throws that will help solve some of the soreness in the following day or days to come this implemented into a regular routine after throwing would be extremely helpful for the longevity and life of the arm as a picture or a thrower in general.

[@max.hurwitz19]

@@ARMPitchingDevelopment thanks!

[@boreddddd5915]

Any tips on what to do if the grip starts to hurt my ring finger and pinky finger?

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Try putting some space in between your palm and the ball on the grip try to have a loose grip she didn't like in you're holding an egg versus a solid rock or something in your hand. Hope that helps.

[@baltimorejay_1]

I wish in person lessons weren’t so expensive cuz my son needs a lot of work with his throwing motion cuz he’s constantly hurting his arm but I’m not great at giving advice but I know someone else could explain it better

[@habibimaya]

Just remember the goal is long term. I would learn how to change speeds and throwing strikes before using curveballs too much at too young of an age. You want to be good at 18 more so than 13. 44 of 47 pitches being a curveball at 13 is kinda outta whack. Master the 2 seam, 4 seam, sinker and especially the changeup first. Thats my suggestion as a former d1 catcher in the SEC.

[@CalebAlkema]

No pitches will hurt you if you throw them right. You don’t have to move your arm just set your grip and arm angle then throw it.

[@ARMPitchingDevelopment]

Ok

[@CalebAlkema]

Sorry that sounded rude I wasn’t trying to. I was just saying mlb pitchers do that and I thought it might help if you look into it. I love how your trying to help people with their mechanics.

All good bro. Thank you for the support and feedback 🙏
