Pitching Drills & Techniques for Youth (Ages 7-12)
Coach Marty Schupak provides a variety of drills that help young baseball pitchers develop proper throwing mechanics. These pitching drills are easy to understand and teach kids the different body parts that work together to pitch effectively.
Getting Ready for the Pitching Motion
The most important part of the pitching motion is the thoracic rotation. This movement is made up of the upper arms, shoulders, chest and head and it is the most effective way to get a clean, crisp delivery.
A good thoracic rotation is crucial to creating a powerful pitching motion that can be used in any position on the mound. The video shows youth pitchers how to practice this in an easy-to-follow manner that will allow them to improve their ability to throw fastballs.
Fielding Short Hops
There are three types of "hops" when fielding a ground ball on it's final bounce: long hop, in-between hop and short hop. Practicing these short hops can dramatically improve a player's ability to field a ground ball on the last bounce, and can lead to significant improvements in other skills as well such as throwing and fielding a bunt.
Developing these skills will not only help the athlete play their best at the plate, but it can also make them a better defensive player and an excellent teammate. These are the types of skills that will give them a competitive advantage on and off the field and will serve them well as they grow into their professional careers.
