Have A Mirror? Here's A Simple Baseball Pitching Drill

If you're a youth baseball parent or coach, the following drill can be a useful tool in helping your young pitcher(s) develop a "feel" for his mechanics.

Pitchers can get in front of a full length mirror and practice their perfect delivery 100 times a day. Take 10 seconds from start to finish for each repetition, and really think about each phase of your motion.

Watching yourself in slow motion, thinking and executing as you relay information to every muscle you are using is a great way to learn the fundamental skills of pitching.

The self-discipline and concentration in this muscle memory exercise can help youth pitchers establish a strong feeling of purpose and strength of mind, both of which are key in his development.
