Below you will find some additional information as far as performance goes.

Descriptive Steps:

Grip:

• Turn the ball so that the seam makes  “U” shape to the side, rather than facing up.
• Your fingers are resting on the seam, grip tight
• Line your wrist up with your arm 

Arm Motion:

Bring the ball and glove together near the waist at the front of the body.

• Backswing: This is the beginning of the pitch
• Arm rotation: Make sure the arm stays straight and rotates at the same speed from the beginning to the end of the pitch
• Final downswing: Should be tight and consistent
• Release: Keep the hand turned up through the release and keep the body tall (don’t lean forward at the waist or lean to one side)
• Follow-through: Consistent arm movement during the follow-through will help to prevent injuries after pitching

Footwork:

• Stepping stride: It involves stepping forward as far as you can while your arm is rotating
• Leaping stride: It allows you to get better range of motion
• Drag: Drag involves keeping your back foot on the ground while leaping forward with your front foot
