is another great resource for players, coaches and parents involved in youth baseball.


Have players get the feel of what it is to follow through and extend on their pitches. This drill is set up to encourage a safe throwing motion while increasing velocity.

I usually have my pitchers do between 15 and 20 reps as a part of their warm up routine.

The towel drill is an awesome drill, I've been doing it since my freshman year in high school. One thing that I've been told though is to have whatever your hitting(here, a bucket) should be about at your eye level or a little lower when your in the "power position"

keep up the good work!
