Pitching Drills For Little League

The following baseball pitching drills are for little league baseball pitchers.

Follow Through Drill For Little League

It's used to follow through properly, and effectively. Stand in front of a chair with your stride foot in proper landing position. Place your Glove arm side leg on the chair with the inside of your foot. Come to the set position and break your hands then (if able) throw to a target. This drill forces you to bend your back and follow through with your back leg.

Kneel Drill For Little League

I used this to warm up both in high school and college. An easy way to establish muscle memory on all of your pitches when locating which makes repetition of mechanics that much easier.  Kneeling with your glove arm side leg off the ground go through the normal throwing motion with your chest ending up out over your glove arm side knee. This helps with follow through along with most of the upper body action in your pitches.

Spot Drill For Little League

An easy way to establish muscle memory on all of your pitches when locating which makes repetition of mechanics that much easier. When throwing bullpens, spot from a 60-75% throw. 3 low and inside 3 high and inside 3 low and outside and 3 high and outside. Do this with ALL of your pitches.

Leg Swing Drill For Little League

This one is just used to slowly warm up and take the legs away from throwing which allows one to focus more on the muscle memory aspect of the chest and waist. The Leg Swing drill is for the pitchers who kick their leg up rather than lifting. Some people prefer the kick so not everyone will be able to use these. Start from the stretch with your lead leg BEHIND your plant leg. Lift up to the balance position and proceed with the throw. This can also help to teach leading with the hips.
