Where To Position Yourself On The Pitcher's Rubber Against Different Hitters
Before positioning yourself on the pitcher's rubber, think about dividing it in half right down the middle. Right-handed pitchers should generally pitch from the right half of the pitcher's rubber. Left-hand pitchers from the left half of the rubber. This is done to allow the pitcher to deliver the baseball from behind the hitter when throwing to the same side hitter. In other words, a right-hand pitcher facing a right-hand hitter.
When a right-hand pitcher faces a left-hand batter, he may want to move a little more toward the center of the pitcher's rubber, but not directly in the center as this will cut down on angle.
A left-handed pitcher should try doing the same thing when throwing to a right-hand hitter.
