Question
I am working on pitching and I have good speed but not good accuracy. What can I do to have better accuracy?
Thanks,
Caeden!
Caeden,
Make sure your mechanics are perfect. Just like a hitter, make sure your lower half is in good position. A good lower half will put the upper half in good positioning to start. If the mechanics are good check your release point. If the release point is off by an inch, the ball can miss the strike zone by feet. Also check the rotation of the baseball out of your hand and be sure to stay on to of the fastball.
Balance and release point drills would work good for you. These drills are too hard to explain in writing without pictures. As your coach or an instructor for drills to help with balance and release point.
Thank You,
