In this video, we’re breaking down how to improve throwing accuracy in baseball. With three simple drills, you’ll learn how to consistently hit your target. These drills are designed to provide easy fixes and create straight throws for baseball players, coaches, and parents.
Key Throwing Drills
-
One-Knee Drill: Focus on throwing at a specific target (like a tee). Keep your front foot facing the target and your back knee in line. Separate your hands, turn your glove over, and pull down, letting the ball go out in front while flicking your wrist down towards the target.
-
Athletic Position Drill: Start in a good athletic stance with weight in your quads and shoulders over your toes. Open your foot to face the target, rock forward and back, and separate your hands, pulling your glove straight down to guide your arm.
-
Glove Under Elbow Drill: Get on both knees, place your glove under your throwing elbow, and throw towards a target 5-10 feet away. Focus on an all-arm flick, ensuring you’re pulling straight down without flicking to the side. This drill provides instant feedback through backspin motion.
These drills emphasize the importance of a linear plane from your hand to the target and proper glove work to guide your throwing arm. Consistent practice will lead to improved accuracy and backspin on your throws.
