Drills to bring my hips into a throw

I'm having a hard time understanding what you are saying, but remember drills alot of times are very disruptive and are not the best way to help. I've found drills make you think too much and lead to a pitcher who is too slow. Make sure you're not into rotating your hips too early.

I should have mentioned this. I'm not a pitcher, I'm an outfielder. I have had really bad mechanics most of my life and now I'm trying to fix my problems and using my lower body is definitely holding me back from throwing my furthest.

Upstate

Would love to see you in action so we can give you an analysis

Have you thought about attending out Binghamton Showcase? We can give you an on the spot analysis right there

TR, I cannot afford to go to the Binghamton Showcase this year, and I don't qualify because I haven't played varsity ball yet. But, after next year, going to the colege select showcase is definitely on my list of places to go.

Great

Would really like to get a look at you

We have six coaches on our staff one of whom is a HS Coach in the Fredonia area--Perhaps I can hook you up with him so he can check your outfield fielding and throwing mechanics for you

Sorry if I'm getting a late start on this one but I'm a pitcher and have learned a very effective drill for this. My pitching coach that I'm with now has a drill that I do where you start a good ways off from your catcher or person catching with your back to him. Then you start back peddaling backwards as fast as you can for 3 or 4 steps and you plant your back foot and step and throw as quick and hard as you can. That's not a very good description but it's what I can think of right now

Upstate, have you tried checking with the Frozen Ropes training facility in E. Rochester? It's a great facility and very well run.

If you ask for Tom or John or Chris, they could probably get you the instruction you need.

I don't have any connection with these people -- but I've been to their facility, met them, and was impressed.

Good luck.
