3 Baseball Drills to Become Better at Pitching

Perfecting your pitch is no easy feat. As a pitcher, you might often watch the pros and be in awe of their speed and delivery. But, how can you achieve the same finesse on the mound as your favorite pro athletes?  With IMG Academy's How-To baseball pitching drills video, our coaches take you on a deep dive of what goes into every pitch down to footwork and shoulder rotation. 

In this video, you will be introduced to three baseball pitching drills to become a better pitcher. Watch how student-athletes perform each drill with instruction on stance, rotation, and shoulder separation to deliver a powerful pitch. Each drill is broken down to provide an overarching tutorial on three specific pitching drills:

• Step Back Pivot Pick
• Janitor Throw
• Step Back Throw

Learn the Step Back Pivot Pick drill that focuses on hip and shoulder separation which is vital to the pitch delivery. The Janitor Throw is lower-half focused pitch drill while the Step Back Throw builds upon the Janitor Throw.
