This is exactly how I was taught to throw a baseball. Helped me to go on a be a starting pitcher in college. Thank you for the video I just sent it to all the parents of the kids I am coaching this year.
This is a very good video. I'm trying to teach my son how to throw correctly. Other videos left out the basics for young kids. Considering that I am a mom who knows very little about baseball, this video was easy to follow. I was easily able to relay the instruction to my son. We just started so I'm looking forward to seeing how much he improves after a lot of practice!
The power position he teaches, with the back elbow up and the ball pointing away from you, will increase the odds of elbow problems. Please don't follow this guy's advice.
Hey Man, This Video helped me Immensly. I play slow pitch softball and had a lot of arm pain after last season. After watching this video, I practiced throwing all off season, and am happy to announce that I doubled my arm strength and eliminated my arm pain. I couldn't have done it without this video, so thanks!!!!!!
This video would have been better if it wasn't made by a bunch of rednecks other then that it was very helpful cuz my coach just pounded me today for not throwing right haha
i hadnt thrown a baseball in a year and recently had a morning baseball workout. while warming up, i threw down, to the right, or too high and i was short-handing the ball. i lost mechanics. this video is great for remembering the basics. 5*

2:44 is completely wrong. When you see the back of your hand when it is up that high, it becomes physically impossible to come around the ball and pronate you throwing hand. Otherwise, you supinate on the ball and that causes stress to your rotator cuff.
thanx coach im going to make sure i check myself b4 i reck myself lol; jk. thanx this video will really help me alot. ive been having problems with accuracy.
Thanks man Great Vid!!!!! I am learning to throw left handed i already throw right handed but i needed some drills to improve my left handed mechanics Your Vid Helped Thanks again
Thanks! I'm a girl who's never played a sport and now I want to learn how to play baseball (not softball!) and I'm trying to figure out how to get the kinks out of my throwing mechanics. I have 21 years of bad throwing to unlearn.
great video!! im gunna go try this... :)
