Throwing Basics 101

Put some effort into your pitch

Right-handers: show the ball to the "third baseman." Rotate your shoulders. "Cup" your glove into your body to create torque.

Pitchers: point your toe towards your target. Take a long sride. Pulling your glove hand in creates torque and whip.

Push off the rubber, striding towards your target. Push your fingers through the ball upon release.
