* A PITCHING COACH CAN SEE WITH HIS NAKED EYE ALL OF THE FAULTY MECHANICAL MOVES A PITCHER IS MAKING ON A PITCH AND CORRECT THEM.
* THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE A PAUSE AT THE PITCHERS BALANCE POINT FOR IMPROVED VELOCITY AND CONTROL.
* TURNING THE BODY TOWARDS THE OUTFIELD DURING THE PITCHING WINDUP IMPROVES VELOCITY.
* DOING PITCHING DRILLS IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS PRACTICING PITCHING.
* A SHORT STRIDE GIVES THE PITCHER POOR ACCURACY.
* SHORT STRIDE GIVES THE PITCHER POOR VELOCITY.
* IT IS BAD TO SWING YOUR LEAD LEG OUT INTO YOUR LANDING POSITION.
* YOU CANNOT INCREASE VELOCITY BY THROWING WEIGHTED BASEBALLS.
* YOU CANNOT INCREASE VELOCITY BY THROWING LONG TOSS.
* THROWING A FOOTBALL DOESN'T HELP ARM STRENGTH.
* IF PITCHERS WANT TO THROW WITH MORE VELOCITY, THEY HAVE TO GET THEIR ARM UP INTO THROWING POSITION EARLY.
* FOR IMPROVED VELOCITY AND CONTROL, A PITCHER WANTS TO BE TALL AND FALL IN HIS DELIVERY TOWARDS HOME PLATE.
* PITCHING DRILLS ARE BAD FOR PITCHERS TO PRACTICE BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM POORER PITCHERS BY REDUCING ACCURACY AND VELOCITY.
* THE WEIGHT ROOM IS A BAD PLACE TO IMPROVE STRENGTH FOR PITCHING A BASEBALL..
* PITCHING CLINICS PROVIDE GREAT EFFECTIVENESS TEACHING STUDENTS BECAUSE THEY TEACH THAT ALL GREAT PITCHERS MOVE DIFFERENTLY WHEN DELIVERING THE BASEBALL.
* IT IS VERY INEFFECTIVE TRAINING FOR THE PITCHER TO PRACTICE HIS MECHANICS AT SLOWER SPEEDS SO HE CAN GAIN ACCUARCY AND CONFIDENCE.
