energy to help them to make good strong throws.

We also have an unusual amount of swinging at breaking or change up pitches early in the count, I constantly talk to them about less than two strikes learn to be patient get that good pitch, that fast ball you want in particular some of us coaches are ex minor league players but they still teach the old conventional ways of how they played in their times which is not good enough for these players of this era.

What I see when viewing many players of all ages even those who I coach in our summer college and high school fall ball leagues is that their coaches do not bother with players individual skills which to me are most important, consequently many players are left to fend for themselves which does not get their adjustments needed to be made, made.I view short arms, lack of knowing how to use their whole arm during their throwing movement, lack of knowing how to exert the proper

by pulling elbow straight back, to shoulder height , any higher puts too much strain on shoulder and elbow. then rotate forearm & hand around past your ear in a small circle bringing fore arm to and a little behind the vertical position while rotating elbow forward and bringing your fore arm on through forward to it's release point, all the while keeping your hand behind the ball w/fingers on top of ball. viewing Rolen from front angle is great.

Hey Mike, your basic throwing video is very good..

If you do not mind I would like to add to it some things I learned about throwing from guy's like Rolen, freese,Furcal, back a few years to Johnny Hopp, Charley Fox, Bench and various others who throw and threw bullets to their targets. first thing is that infielders & catchers basically have the same type of arm movement & should let the elbow lead the ball in hand out of the glove w/hand behind ball

As a cricket coach I teach my kids that the throwing elbow should be at least as high as the shoulder, or higher. Other than that, it's all the same stuff.

Your elbow needs to be ABOVE your shoulder!
