5 Easy Tips To Get A Better Follow Through (Pitching Mechanics)

1. A good follow-through is important for speed, control, and fielding.       

2. The right-hand pitcher's arm should snap straight across his chest to his left knee (vice-versa for lefty's).

3. Bury shoulder or chest over knee.       

4. Pinch knees and kick back heel up in the air.       

5. Don't cost yourself m.p.h. or control problems by not pitching on line.
