The reason it is …
The reason it is better to learn to throw hard before accuracy is simple. Yes it is important to throw accurate but the minute you get accurate and try to speed it up you will then loose accuracy because of the change of arm speed, the strength of leg drive both will change the timing of the release point, resulting in throwing balls over your catcher’s head. With the proper mechanics of throwing hard first your muscle memory will kick in to find the release point.
Crissy is …
Crissy is absolutely right. If you teach correct form, get the arm moving as fast as possible, you can create a pitcher. If you are more interested in strikes than form, the player can pitch up through junior high, but will never be a good pitcher at the high school level and up.
ugh what a stupid …
ugh what a stupid sport anybody can just walk on to a softball field and play…it stupid…and no one gets noticed playing it so watever…i thats y u see so mant deperate ppl on here trying to get a scholarship over youtube…haha…
The key is to learn …
The key is to learn to throw with the right mechanics and not worry about location right away. I’ve seen to many pitchers not reach their potential because dad is all about i strike on every pitch in practice when the kid is doing a new drill to fix a flaw in her mechanics. The kid immediately goes back to the old way to please dad and trow strikes. By the time the kid is 14 she is no longer pitching because the kids that were open to learning and struggling learned the right way and passed her
agreed apart from …
agreed apart from my stealth nd synergy scn2 xD my babies lol
That’s true. That’s …
That’s true. That’s why these bats made out of aerospace grade carbon should be banned. All I know is when my team played at our slow pitcher pitched we lost, when I pitched (the only real difference was the speed) we won.
but. . the faster …
but. . the faster it comes the faster of the bat
I’m a college …
I’m a college pitcher. Speed comes first. What good is being able to control the ball if it’s batting practice speed? Throw me a nice fifty five mile an hour fastball and I’ll send it to left field. Put a sixty mile an hour fastball in there and the batter has less time to react and see the spin of the ball.
She’s not saying …
She’s not saying throwing it hard wrong. You’re throwing with the correct mechanics as hard as you can, then she’s telling you that the accuracy will come with confidence and muscle memory.
no offense but that …
no offense but that is probably why you are not as good as jennie finch! she throws hard but she is accurate!!! if you have the right mecanics then all you have to do is then all you have to do is throw harder and make your circle faster!!!!!
duhh!!!!!! : P
ohhkay….. well i …
ohhkay….. well i dont agree with that because if they are throwing consistently hard and they are throwing balls…. they will walk alot of people!!!! it will be hard for them to get accuracy down because you will be used to throwing hard but throwing balls so when you go to fix what they are doing they will not be able to fix it because they will be used to throw it wrong!
no its a joke
no its a joke
I know, If i get a …
I know, If i get a ball, they are like “Stop TRYING to throw fast!” Im not trying to throw fast..i just messed up a bit ..haha
Haha i NEVER do …
Haha i NEVER do change ups.
I know, Im a …
I know, Im a pitcher and accuracy is soo much more important because so people just cant hit! Speed will come if you have good mechanics, and good mechanics give you accuracy FIRST. When i first started pitching it was slow, but as I got more comfortable in my motion, speed came.
without accuracy …
without accuracy then wat good is speed ? if u wanna loose by walking ppl then be my guess
i disagree with …
i disagree with speed first. accuracy is always first. what’s the point in pitching fast when all of them are balls. when i started out, my coaches told me to pay attention to my accuracy first. but the strides of where to put the ball helps a lot. and there are different ways of pitching a change up.
All of my coaches …
All of my coaches tell me to take some off when I start messing up. They need to watch this! Changing speed just screws me up more!
thanks this really …
thanks this really helps keep making videos
boys fastpitch??
boys fastpitch??
When Im waremin up …
When Im waremin up with my dad he gets mad cause I guess that im trying to throw heat cause im thrown way off but im actually not thrown hard. Then wen i get mad at him and i do throw hard, it goes straight down the middle. Hes heka strict with me and pitchin.
