Softball Pitchers: Foundation Comes First

[@L0VABL3LILSIS33]

I’m a former catcher who now coaches trying to teach my 8 year olds to pitch until we can get them a pitching coach and this is incredibly helpful!!

[@austinfranks9527]

this is exactly what i was looking for to help my daughter! accuracy is critical, so like mentioned, doing this with half circle looks like the way we will be starting off.

[@afotroben7420]

Am very happy to following your drills,am Ghana Shock assistant coach ,George told me a lot about his experience learning from you.Thanks soo much for the support.

[@amandascarborough]

Oh awesome! Yes! So happy to help! George also has tons of information to share with you too!

[@michaelcastillo6872]

I've never coached pitching and I don't have a pitching coach so this helps. Thanks so much.

[@bustedtire3094]

Same here wanted to get a pitching coach. But I can't afford 75 dollars an hour on top of a 2 hour drive. So youtube university here I come

Omg love you for video! I see a lot of young girls trying to just fire it in there. And I hear their parents yelling for them to also. I was approached by one parent an he asked my opinion and I preach the same accuracy over velocity. Teach them to be accurate first then they can add velo. Love your way of thinking!

[@PeterParker-nc5ke]

Great tips! I'm watching this video to help my friend become a better pitcher.

[@amandascarborough]

Awesome!!

My dad was a softball player in his day and he never ever told me to grow it fast when I started to pitch. But when i got stronger i started growing the ball hard and fast ad least 59-62 miles and I'm only 14

So helpful

[@wompdonkey8297]

Hey Amanda. I COACH LL softball and I'm looking for resources. I like this breakdown of mechanics and how you're working on it just a little at a time. Can you just give me some insight on the drag? We had a former HS pitcher come and work with our girls a bit and said that the drag is all for show. I'm a baseball guy so this part of softball is very foreign to me.

[@youpattube1]

I noticed that a pitcher can be changed even if another one had started a count. And the count remains just as it was for the previous pitcher. But I could have sworn that changing pitchers during an active count used to involve a penalty. Can you explain the old and the new rules. I tried googling it, but no luck.

Muchas gracias

How do you feel about weighted softballs for pitching? My daughter is 9 years old .

[@wafflepancake4568]

Today I hit consistent strikes thanks to you going at 55 mph and I’m only 11

[@amandascarborough]

That’s so awesome!! 😃

[@JessicaKohl24]

How long would you say you focus on these drills before you move beyond to the full circle and pitching motion?

[@amandascarborough]

Everyone will be different! Things to look for are consistency with body positioning & consistent release points. You can tell this if she is being able to throw strikes 80% of the time from these drills!

[@joecostner1246]

Is softbalI an all female sport or do men play this mini baseball as well? I think i saw it in Curb your Enthusiasm

[@rachelwalters1156]

The k hurts my daughters shoulder???

[@amandascarborough]

Could be some mobility issues! I would get screened by a professional to see her strengths/weaknesses/flexibility/mobility and where she is strong and where she is weak!
