First, the basic concept of pitching 1, the key point of pitching The key to pitching is to let the ball cross the home plate at different angles. Only with correct technical movements and good psychological quality can we play our own level.
2, relying on the wrong concept of arm strength Many people have a wrong concept that the most important thing for pitchers to throw is arm strength. In fact, the strength of the lower body and the strength of the waist are very important in pitching. It is no exaggeration to say that more than 50% of the pitching power comes from the legs.
3. Ball control posture You can take a closer look at your pitching posture. When doing the whole action, you must always stare at the catcher's gloves, not at the ground. If you pay attention to these details, you should be able to control the ball more stably.

Second, strength must be trained for a long time 1, and the best way to train footwall strength is to walk in the swimming pool besides running the treadmill and using other fitness equipment that can exercise leg strength. Walking in the swimming pool can be said to be one of the best ways to practice lower body strength.
2, the basic training of arm strength Of course, the practice of arm strength is also very important. The best way is to pass the ball long. It is also good for two people to practice long-distance passing and catching at a distance of about 200 feet (about 60 meters) to improve their arm strength.
Don't throw too many balls. Don't practice too much, or you will easily hurt your arm. Don't practice shooting more than once every two days, with about 30 balls each time. Just try to throw these 30 balls, you don't need to throw many balls every day.
Extended reading: relax after exercise to prevent shock.
Extended reading: Have a good figure, eat and exercise at the same time.
Third, the influence of pitching strength and posture 1. The source of pitching strength When pitching, the pitcher's strength mostly depends on pedaling, twisting his waist and picking the ball with his last finger.
2, throwing the ball to the ground posture, the legs can be slightly bent to facilitate the output, then the body turns back a little, the hips are first pushed out in the direction of the receiver, and then the legs force the body to be sent out in the direction of the receiver, and the toes point to the pitching direction, and do not rotate left and right.
3, the timing of twisting the waist to grasp the timing of twisting the waist. When you lift your feet to pitch, you can turn back a little. It is best to turn around while stretching forward, bringing a force to the body to twist the waist.
Note: It is best to turn your body completely in front of the ball, but there will be a slight gap according to different people's shooting habits.
Finger hitting the tail is something that every pitcher should do. Only when the ball is played well can the ball have a tail stroke, so that the speed of the ball in front of the batter is similar to that when it is released. Even the ball thrown by a very powerful person will give people a feeling of floating upwards.
5. The handling of hand points is mainly based on arms and wrists. Every time you throw a good ball, you should think about it, remember the state of the hand points and arms and wrists just now, and then keep the center of gravity stable when throwing, with little change up and down.
Note: regarding the hitting point, one is to practice and accumulate more at ordinary times, and you will naturally feel the hitting point.
6. The body must be stable. Don't lean to the left (throw right) when throwing the ball, because this will cause your strength to be scattered to the left, so pressing forward when throwing the ball can effectively avoid this situation. The best posture of the body after throwing the ball is T-shape.
The elbow must be raised high, which is the action of a high-pressure pitcher. When pitching, the elbow must be higher than the shoulder, then the elbow comes out first after the body turns around and the elbow is sent forward. Don't press it. The elbow joint should not be clamped too tightly, nor should it be played too open.
8. When you step out of the foot, you need to be steady, stretch your foot firmly, and point to the direction of pitching.
9. Nervousness can cause the body to relax when pitching, because the more nervous the body is, the more energy it consumes in physical exercise.
