In this video, we will address proper throwing mechanics. When working on throwing mechanics, it is important to understand every throwing motion will vary from player to player. There is not one way to throw a baseball. This step-by-step process is encouraged to perform at the beginning of playing catch. This is a good opportunity to work on or refresh clean mechanics to help the player be accurate and put less stress on the throwing arm. The ability to excel at playing catch and making strong and accurate throws is the most important aspect of being a good defender. Don’t rush through playing catch and challenge yourself to hit your partner in the chest as consistent as possible.

    1. Emphasize clean mechanics

    2. Take it step by step

    3. Progress to fluid motion

    4. Focus on consistency
