Pitch Better With These 9 Simple Pitching Strategies

Here are nine simple strategies that can help you pitch better. How many of these things do you already do well? What do you need to work on?

1. Make living on outside 1/3 of the plate.       

2. When behind, don't go inside.       

3. When ahead, go inside to set up where I make my living (on the     outside).       

4. When you go inside, go from black to dirt.       

5. Embarrass hitter - don't throw same location.       

6. Don't be negative with subconscious - harder you try, less effort.     Example, don't walk this hitter.

7. Get hitter out best way you can. Pitch to letter "L."       

8. I want my pitchers to pitch to their strengths: first pitch ground ball     strike, 2 out of 3 pitches in the box, play nine versus one.       

9. What I want to see:             1) Pitch,             2) Location             and 3) Execute.
