A simple fix for better pitching control

It's always great hearing from my readers. I appreciate the comments. Here's one I got over the weekend from an adult-league baseball player.

Steven: I tried what your article suggested about looking away after you acquire the sign. [At right is a picture of former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Matt Morris doing it.]

The truth is I tried it before I read your article. I was having trouble locating so I tried looking away and the re-acquiring the target at leg lift, and ... holy cow, my location came back.

I am going to stick with that technique while in the wind up and modify it for the stretch. I had better control and located my target so a lot easier. My delivery felt smooth also. I am 53 and pitch in the DCMSBL plus another local league called the Ponce. It works at least for me. --J.A.H. Sr.
