Try to keep things as simple as possible when first starting to learn pitching. Having an open mind and a willingness to try new things is a must for pitchers to reach new barriers.

Pitchers that have a solid foundation and understanding of their mechanics need not move past this point. However, if you don’t, we have included a formal presentation for a foundation to work by.

I’ve always said try to make the uncomfortable feel comfortable. Remember if you are trying to make mechanical adjustments you won’t necessarily get the adjustment on your first try.

Keep working and over time it will happen. Good athletes make positive adjustment to become better and get good at their sport. Great athletes make positive, technical adjustments that last their career.

Each pitcher is unique and should have something positive to build on such as mechanics, mental approach, velocity, movement or control.
