Reply to "PROPER Long Tossing for PITCHERS"

I don’t think there’s a big secret to long toss. You get the ball way out on your fingertips and let it fly in a balanced step-behind crow hop. Not like an outfielder. Pitchers should try and get low with their hips to work on the good balanced explosion of the hips when throwing long distances. I believe that long toss teaches players to throw harder because of the increased strength/explosion in the legs/hips more than the increase in overall arm strength. Changeups should always be thrown at all distances when backing up to long toss.

Keep working hard,
