Hey Coach, I've seen tons of videos explaining leg drive and pitching grips, BUT, I would love to see you do an in-depth video on ARM PATH movement. Specifically how to get your elbow out front and into that sling movement from a loaded position. It's the fastest movement of pitching mechanics and it always seems glossed over. I am having trouble with this and would love your insight! Thanks!
Coach John, you honestly are a guru of the game. I follow 5 other baseball-content-creators besides you, and I can say with authority that the way you demonstrate and phrase things best helps me. Thanks a million and keep up the great work. Question: do you play any slow-pitch softball?
Since you are 9 you should wait until you are older to throw this pitch your fingers have to be big enough to split the ball, I would say that you’d be better off learning a change up.
I prefer direct info. Not through games and suck. But videos that I own, watching your training videos as I plan to order some in the future for my son.
Hey coach, so my coach tells me to stop using the forkball what other pitch should i throw my arsenal is fastball,slider,two seem and the fifth was a forkball with witch pitch should i replace it?
Hi John, can you show us some drills to work on lower body pitching mechanics without using the arm? I don't know any of them for doing them in recovery days
My 8yo is a great starting pitcher in minor league (currently fall ball in LA). Great mechanics thanks to ur videos and lots of practice. He’s thin and medium in height. Throws 45mph, but with 3 fingers cause it’s still uncomfortable with 2 fingers. Is this an easy and/or automatic fix when he starts to grow?
Hey Coach, I see you are already bombarded with requests for videos, but could you do a video on how to deal with pressure when pitching because I struggle with that.
i know this is super late, but confidence will be your number one helper as a pitcher. being scared to throw and nervous will make you think and try to aim, and will make you throw a meatball right down the middle. another thing, is to stay confident in your defense behind you. don’t be scared to give them something hittable.
Hey dude, my son is 12 and starting to try pitching. But he has an odd motion or release point. I’m not sure what it is but he does the same things when he is just tossing the ball. It’s something me and his coaches can’t figure out how to fix. Can I send you a video in slow motion and you see it and maybe tell me what’s wrong?
I was lucky and have huuuge fingers that can spread out really far and when u throw my splitter good it drops from like belly button or chest to the knees or below
A baseball video game is great for learning situational baseball. Man on 2nd with 1 out is a man on 2nd with 1 out no matter if its on the video game or on the field. Same situation. Know what you need to do, before you need to do it.
hey coach if you check this video start from 05:30 th-cam.com/video/Jju-oupcv9Q/w-d-xo.html I wondering if I do this drill which told in that video then my arm not gonna performed to the max power I got right like a (Catapult、Mangonel、Onager ) I mean orbit or trajectory of my arm right? sorry my English writting suck. -John from Taiwan

The slip pitch is pretty awesome too . Especially if you have small hands. Some people's hands are to small to do a split finger .

Hey coach would you say junior year of high school is too early to throw a splitter?
Hey coach, I just got a quick question, how can you read the pitch (curve ball or fastball) when batting. Thanks again
Look for spin most of the time, some pitchers will adjust the ball in their glove and it will be obvious but good pitchers won’t do that
Hey coach, can you give tips for submarine pitchers?

Hey Coach, I’m a 5’9” 8th grader throwing mid 70s from 60 feet. Do you have any tips to be able to throw 90-95 in my upcoming seasons in high school?
Aye bro it’s 2 years later how fast you throw 👀
Could do a video were you show how to control your curveball cause I struggle with that
He's before your time but when I think of Split finger, I think of Mike Scott's 1986 season with the Astros.
Can you make a video about if your hands aren’t big enough please
Hell ya play the game.....matt gets all worked up its funny
Hey I’m 15, I way about 170 and I’m 6’0 6’1. I’m only throwing about 60-70, what are some drills to help my mechanics to throw harder?
I hit the gym during a year break from baseball , and I am currently throwing high 80s at 160 6’
Can you show how to throw a sinker love your vids
Hey coach,Sometime l can throw a slider ,but sometime it did not work,why,can you tell me?
Maybe is because your machanics are not consistent
So how can I improve it?
what I do is to forget about the thumb and making the slider with the arm path and index and thumb
And when you got a nice slider and a bad slider record with the phone the mechanics and compare them
If you have discord i splain you better
Amen
Hey did you get it figured out with matt
I was lucky and have huuuge fingers that can spread out really far and when u throw my splitter good it drops from like belly button or chest to the knees or below
I tried this for the fun of it. The grip came naturally. The circle change up however did not fit me at all.
It's one game, just different modes. But definitely dooo it.
Any truth to youth pitchers just placing fingers on the white rather than hooking the seams to take speed off? TIA
How to throw change up??
(I am Korean)))
