3 Preseason Tips For Pitchers To Improve Their Velocity And Control

1) Instructor

find an instructor that has experience in pitching, not just a parent who is a coach or someone who has played at a high level. Being a good pitcher doesn't mean you are qualified to teach proper throwing mechanics.

2) Video

Get videotaped to breakdown your mechanics. The throwing motion is too complex and too fast to observe with the naked eye.

 3) Practice

Practice your mechanics in the offseason rather than in season. Studies reveal that it takes 3000 repetitions to change a faulty movement.
