Hey everyone, Coach Justin here from Ultimate Baseball Training! Today, I’m sharing baseball throwing tips to boost your throwing accuracy and velocity.
Baseball Throwing Tips to Improve Your Game
Always get into a good throwing position, keeping your hands and glove in front of your chest, looking towards your target. Ensure your feet, hips, and shoulders are square to your target. Many infielders struggle with this, especially when fielding ground balls to their left, leading to inaccurate throws. Proper alignment is key for better accuracy, regardless of your position.
Key Throwing Tips
-
Maintain a good throwing position with hands in front of the chest.
-
Keep feet, hips, and shoulders square to your target.
-
Point fingers to the ground when taking the ball out of the glove, then towards center field.
-
Bring your chest to your glove and tuck your glove in as you throw.
-
Snap your wrist and pull down with your fingers during release, feeling friction.
-
Point towards your target after releasing the ball, pronating your wrist.
When taking the ball out of your glove, point your fingers toward the ground as long as possible, then towards second base or center field. Avoid bringing the ball back with your fingers facing the target. Bring your chest to your glove as you throw, and focus on snapping your wrist and pulling down with your fingers during release. Finish by pointing towards your target, ensuring your hand turns slightly downward.
By following these tips, you can improve your throwing technique and achieve better accuracy and velocity on the baseball field.
