I need some help

BD257910+ posts

For my entire life i have had pin point control. This winter i worked very hard and the beginning of the season i was lights out. My past two starts i have recently become wild. This is new to me becuase i have never been wild. I saw a video of myself when i was wild and my left shoulder and arm (i am a righty) are opening up way to early. this causes my ball to sail up and in and its extremley frustrating. Worst part is that I am losing confidence that i worked so hard to get. I know i will snap out of it but anyone have any advice or drills to help me get out of this ASAP.

Missing up and in sounds like rushing. That means you could be striding forward too quickly and messing up your timing (which often comes from trying to throw too hard).

The reality is that very little of a pitcher's power comes from their stride. Instead, it comes from the hips rotating well ahead of the shoulders.

When my guys start rushing, I emphasize to them that they need to keep their tempo smooth and not leap/lurch toward the plate.
