How Pitching Quick Can Quickly Lead To Quicker Success

Today, I want to address how baseball pitchers can quickly and easily become better by simply pitching quick.

"Pitch Quick"

A baseball pitcher who makes his pitch, stays on the front of the pitching mound to get the ball back from his catcher and returns directly to the rubber to pitch again succeeds in four ways:

  1. It keeps fielders on their toes and in the game.
  2. It forces the hitter to have to adjust to your tempo, your game!
  3. It gets the hitter thinking about the pitcher "quick pitching"  him and not on what he's in the batters box to try to do.
  4. It makes it easier to repeat good pitches for strikes because the rhythm of a repeated pitching delivery stays fresh.

Of course, I'm not talking about rushing your pitching delivery, here. I am talking about working fast (in a balanced and controlled manner) so that the hitter is off balance and you can succeed.

Yours in baseball,
