Heavy drag or unbalanced plant? This is the drill for you!
If you’re a pitcher who either 1) loses your balance when you plant, or 2) has a heavy drag, or your heel is dragging too, then this drill is perfect for you!!
Watch as Nicole explains why you should pitch without shoes on, the reasoning and science behind it, and the do’s and don’ts!
The Balance Drill is a great drill to help you with several issues. This drill helps you finish your pitch with power and precision while addressing common issues like posture, drag, and timing. Plus, it’s perfect for learning how to engage your front side effectively. The more you can finish your pitch the same, the more consistent you’ll be.
Goal is to build to at least 85% consistency with this.
The two circle drill is a great drill to use if you’re struggling to find the right feel of your pitch. Make sure you go at least at a moderate speed so you can maintain your arm speed - going too slow will force you to speed up and prevent you from finding your release. This can also be used for any pitch!
Try to get around 85% consistency before moving on!
One of our favorite drills! It’s a great tool to teach yourself how to time up your arms and legs when you’re loading and to see if you’re in a good sprint position at load. It’s also a great diagnostic tool if something feels off and you can’t figure out what it is.
As an alternative to using weighted balls, using a 14” ball is great for focusing on the feel of your mechanics. It’s quick to identify any leaning or timing issues, and gets you back to staying tall and loose! Great pitching drill for all ages and levels!
