Include the descriptive phases of performing a fast pitch technique. (Grip, Arm Work, Foot Work)
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
