need help!

I'm 14 and working on my mechanics as well. I'm not the one to judge mechanics but one thing I noticed is that your glove is kinda out to the side when you pitch. Try to keep it tucked.

Oh and try to get your arm up higher.

which arm the glove arm or throwing arm?

Throwing arm

anyone got anything else for me? also i wanted to know how to increase speed. i read a recent article that scouts and coachs for d1 colleges usually look for speed. no matter what it is arm speed bat speed foot speed.. they just look for quick proper mechanics anyone have an idea to improve my arm speed?

There is no magical answer my friend. I am also trying to increase my speed so I started going to a pitching instructor. I have only gone for 2 lessons so far and I have already noticed the difference. I feel like I am throwing way faster. Remember proper mechanics help a lot. Try to find an instructor or a coach who know about pitching and try to get him to help you with your mechanics. There is no easy answer, just work hard.

to be honest. in the past ive went to 2 really good trainers. one whom is Allen Watson played for the Yankees in 2001 he has helped me recently and someone else and i did feel the change i felt a lot better its just that ive stopped because of a busy scheduale and im trying to imrpove my mechanics on my spare time for example this website

Honestly if you want to get better, you need to keep working. If you are serious about baseball, you need to try to find the time to continue going to those 2 really good trainers. What are you so busy with?

I can't see everything in these clips, but to me I don't see any big flaws that jump out at me. Two suggestions:

1. You appear to be a bit small, so be patient, keep working, and maybe a growth spurt will help you progress as time works in your favor. You are young yet.

2. If you want to be at your best, focus on the task at hand. Specifically, take the dad-gummed I-Pod ear buds out of your ears when you're working on your pitching!

You are not driving thru at the end, you need to twist your torso thru to make sure you get full extension.

If you are working on mechanics just do drills, you dont need to be pitching to fix mechanical flaws...that reinforces bad habits

And explain how one with some skill in pitching improves the two-phase motor skill of pitching by doing something that's not pitching?

when you say "And explain how one with some skill in pitching improves the two-phase motor skill of pitching by doing something that's not pitching?" are you refering to me? or the other post

Yes, I was talking to shpp
