Avoid These Common Pitching Cues!

[@bretthuff1972]

Great video Ben! Now can you do a video on some of your favorite cues??

[@NoName-tx5gt]

This was a great video Ben. Thanks!

[@isaacrose3241]

Great video, I believe some of these cues are still good to use for younger kids however that might not quite understand the advanced mechanics of pitching yet

Thanks for the sharing. Do you think a scap retraction throw could still be effective for cultivating feel or just exposing the joint to range of motion? Certainly not end all be all, but how about getting 5-8 reps of scap retraction throw (maybe even with focus on quality of flow/fluidity into/out of retraction) early in a throw series or even early in repatterning for an athlete who was taught to take the ball to second base?

Thank you for this video.

Always start ground up when you look for problems with a pitcher. Almost every high school pitcher I coach, their problems come from having been taught the first 3.

This video could be summed up with "know your audience". All "cues" need to be followed with explanation. Less experienced pitchers will generally benefit from a more simplistic cue. i.e. "bend your back". More experienced/more educated pitchers can understand detailed explanation. I agree the most idiotic thing you can ever tell a pitcher is to "throw strikes".
