8 Factors In Becoming A Consistent, Winning Pitcher

1. Become your own pitcher.

2. Develop the right approach mentally and physically.

3. Work on proper and consistent mechanics - always throw with a purpose in practice and in games.

4. Command your fastball.

5. Command your off-speed pitch.

6. Work toward having command of a third pitch (curve ball, slider, splitter, cutter, etc.)

7. Field your position - be an aggressive defensive pitcher. 

8. Control the running game - hold runners, vary your holds and throw-overs, be quick to the plate.
