Not having a dad growing up really disaffected me in learning basics things like this. My gramps and uncle would take me to the park to hit baseballs as a kid but that was the most I was ever taugh to do. Now that I'm older and confident, I'm trying to learn sports and I'm just looking for tips like this video, which really helps, actually! Thanks.

Daniel Harris Yo Daniel what’s up. I’m 15 years old and my friends are trying to encourage me to try out baseball. Although I know the rules I’ve never actually played it in my life! I’m experienced with soccer, football, and basketball, but not Baseball, but good luck! I think I’m a bit too old to learn, but what do you think?
@@saikik.6534 Honestly, I would give it a try! Even though you're at high school level there is a group called nationalists and you can still play! I would definitely try it out. You are never too old and you can still try! It's very cool that you play a lot of other sports too! I think you should and I apologize for the late reply. Good luck! >:D
I'm coaching my 8 y/o daughters baseball team this summer because there was no one else to volunteer. I've never officially been taught baseball or the mechanics of throwing. This video is helping me like crazy! Thank you!
devv0 I’ve been to the batting cages and playing deep catch with my brother but unfortunately my school was canceled till may, and tryouts started in late april so my season might get canceled. This isn’t that bad for me since I’m a newbie and can get some what average before I start
Great video. I'm returning to baseball after 20 years and have found I have totally lost the muscle memory I had and I needed this refresher. If only we have TH-cam on the 90s!
Great video!! Thank you! Im 47 yrs old and never could throw very well. I was never, ever taught these things you talk about! Now I have more confidence in throwing things.
I was showing this video to my grand kids, ages 8 and 10, and they too were disappointed not to see you actually pitch a ball. Do you have any videos of you throwing and hitting? Excellent teaching of the basics using the lower body for throwing and hitting power.
Thanks for reminding me how to throw a baseball correctly, I have noticed that on the mound I kind of push the ball with my wrist and kind of using all arms when I throw and I lose a few mph on my fastball. I’m going to go on the field and practice immediately , thank you
Thumbs up! Key points with young and HS players, they do not understand the separation down around then up with the ball facing away before torque! Learning this at a younger age will put a lot of players on the right path to fewer throwing flaws later that are hard to break in high school. Good stuff
Hello, I'm Dante. I am 13 years old and started baseball 3 months ago. I am a big hitter and good fielder but didn't get the pitching down. I always practiced but didn't get any better. I threw around 51 miles per our and couldn't get better.. until I saw this video! I pitch way more accurate and can pitch a 62 miles per hour. Thank you so much for your help. :)
4:31 keyword rotation. I used to use a "starfish" position at 4:23 for analogy with my younger players who dealt with short arm and pushing the ball instead of throwing it. Great video, coach!
I’m hoping this year is my first year and I have only had played soccer for 5 years and that was that for my sport career recently baseball has caught my attention I’m looking forward to trying it out but I’m looking up tutorials for basics and this help me quite a bit
Hey Coach Justin. I like your videos especially the stuff on basic mechanics. I have been using them to help coach a team of 8 year olds on the basics of the game. I like your videos a lot. Just one small piece of advice would be to show You actually performing the skill in action. If you do this before and after the video tip I think it would go a long way to really helping the kids and other coaches out there. You break it down perfectly. Just the put it all together examples would make it the best. If you sampled it 3 times in a loop. Just a suggestion
Nice to see solid throwing mechanics caught for a pitching coach for many years so I can get picky but you’re teaching everything I learned and yes everybody we worked on mechanics every week up through college level and even the pros do it
I'm here because I'm 32 and never learned how to throw properly. Now I have a 3 month son it's got me thinking about things like this again. I appreciate your attention to detail when explaining proper form. I'm hoping to be an involved Mom for my son when he gets older.
Thanks for this video coach! I can see a real benefit from doing a split screen or PIP to show not only forward view but also from behind (synced together). That would help to show proper upper arm positioning on another plane. Thanks again.
Hey coach I know I’m late but I have less than a week before my tryout and I have a tendency to drop my elbow and push the ball when I throw. Any tips or advice? ( I play at elite levels but since it isn’t my first sport I don’t focus on it as much)
This is great. I played baseball up until high school but stopped and rareny picked it up again. As an adult I realized my throwing motion when playing catch with my kids was all messed up and almost developed some yips with my throwing. Now I'm an assistant coach of a pinto league team and figured I should probably re-learn the basic mechanics and this video really helped.
Excited to try this out. I never learned how to throw anything as a kid, and never was taught that there were actual mechanics. I'm a big guy with a lot of power, but can never get a baseball, softball, dodgeball, or snowball to go more than 30 feet, if I am lucky. I have been watching pro players, but never knew what exactly made it so they could throw so far, especially when (at my strongest) I wasn't very far off of these guys in arm strength. When I was in high school, it always boggled my mind that guys who couldn't even lift as much as I could were able to chuck things distances I couldn't even dream of... It never occurred to me then to ask (especially when everyone would just make fun of how I threw.. when I couldn't see a difference in the "how")
Since when is side-arming bad? Different players have different "arm slots" and upper body positioning that they prefer when throwing the ball. If you line up 5 players and have them throw, you'll see 5 slightly different paths that their arms travel when throwing. Side-arming is really no more dangerous than over-hand throwing. The stress on the elbow has more to do with the relationship between the arm and the tilt of the upper torso. So... if you're throwing side arm without tilting your torso toward your throwing arm, it could be a bad thing. But if you're tilting your shoulders so your elbow is aligned with your shoulders at roughly the same angle as it would be with an overhand throw, you're fine. If the player can throw accurately and with decent "abduction" (proper angle between elbow and shoulders), I don't see the problem.
Im 17 even though im in the UK and i would have to go to DR or USA to get to be a baseball player im still ganna try and learn from home but i found this video really useful thank you sooo much for the information ill keep learning the basics of baseball
I have an 8 and 10 year old grandsons, I video them often and we review their throwing and batting technique after every game. They benefit greatly by watching themselves and fine tuning their technique both hitting and throwing
This information is awesome. I played t- ball a few years ago and I quit when I got to the age where I had to throw the ball because I was pushing and aiming with my hand. I am doing softball this year and I am 11. This video made me more confident in myself that I can do it! 😀
Very helpful video. I do have a question though: following these tips, do you have any other pointers as to how to avoid injuring your elbow when throwing? I sometimes get carried away by throwing the ball hard and end up injuring my elbow in the process. Thus ending my practice session.
As a 46 yerar old dad who grew up playing hockey & surfing here in Hawaiʻi, but who now has a 6 year old son who LOVES CATCHING....MAHALO & thank you!!!! My accuracy is improving day by day & I might just join an adult rec league soon too.
Hey Justin thank you so much for making this video because on new years day i was think of buying a baseball glove and ball and i was so lost on what i was doing this strange glove because im in northern Ireland right and im not one part American but my love of american sport so i had a tough time growing up but with videos like this i hope some kid will have a better time then i did so thank you.
One thing I like to do when nobody can throw with me is to just take a bucket of balls to the field and throw into the distance on my own. You can either throw into a backstop or net, or you can throw from homeplate to the outfield and then get some conditioning in as you pick up the balls as well!
I really enjoyed this video because I’m getting ready for my first year of baseball but quarantine postponed its done I’m practicing and this video really helped ⚾️⚾️⚾️
Great video ! For accuracy , how hard should you try to throw a baseball ? Is there a such thing as over throwing ? For me if I throw at my hardest say a 10 it's all over the place if I dial down to a 4 or 5 I have better control .
My son just started playing with a new club time and playing on the 60, 90 field for the first time. He is struggling throwing, but I think this video will really help him.
This helps a lot because lately in this offseason I’ve been slumping and I realize that my legs weren’t lined up and also I wasn’t pointing after I throw it
Just started playing baseball and I was wondering why I wasn’t throwing the ball fast and accurate 😂. This quarantine got me playing all the sports and definitely baseball is my favorite sport ⚾️⚾️⚾️
My only comment on this otherwise excellent video is you talk about the power of the throw coming from the legs, which of course need to need properly positioned, but then watching you it’s apparent (and as you mention briefly toward the end) your power is coming more from turning your core, than from the legs. Granted, throwing properly involves many aspects of the body, but I believe core rotation to be the principal source of throwing power.
Just started coaching little league with 6 and 7 year olds. Its coach pitch.I felt like I was pretty inaccurate throwing on my knee.I wanted to be on their level.Do you feel that makes that much of a difference to pitching to a kid that small .Would you pitch on your knee or standing. Thanks
Hey Justin, study MLB pitchers in slow Mo....I believe the ball is facing same as chest now. I'm not sure, but I've heard "ball has bad breath" kinda deal is old school. Love the vids.
Where was this video when I was playing? I had a really bad throwing problem when I was playing, my coaches messed me up so bad that I could not throw a ball straight, or hard like I used too. I was so upset at myself that by the end of the season I quit baseball. I’m 30 now, and I still love the game. Now seeing my little nephew play, makes me want to help coach him. This video would’ve helped so much. I may even want to see if there is an adult baseball league around to start playing again. I miss the sound of the ball hitting leather.
Steven Ferrell I’m 14 I feel your pain I’ve been caught in between many mechanics between many coaches now I can’t even throw overhand. But these videos are helping me get back to that overhand, tight and strong position. It’s frustrating because people look at you like you suck but you really are trying your hardest to throw it straight and hard.
Nice tips... need to end the throw with the follow thru of throwing hand going to opposite hip and throwing side leg coming through... didn't explain how your base turns either
Find a field with rocks, fist sized rocks. Pick a target and get out there and throw the rocks as HARD as you can at the target. After a few weeks you'll realize that this baseball stuff is very natural, you just need to realize it. You'll be able to throw these rocks far, straight, and with a spin. I live in a desert and go ti the dry riverbed to throw small rocks at big rocks, and it's always great fun to see either the small rocks explode on the big rocks, or to see a big blast of dirt from the rock hitting the ground at 60+ mph.
my dad never taught or played ball with me(divorced parents) now i’m watching this at 39 to help my son learn proper technique. Thank you
Not having a dad growing up really disaffected me in learning basics things like this. My gramps and uncle would take me to the park to hit baseballs as a kid but that was the most I was ever taugh to do. Now that I'm older and confident, I'm trying to learn sports and I'm just looking for tips like this video, which really helps, actually! Thanks.

I don't think so. Bound to happen
This was really helpful, especially pulling back your arm. This definitely improved my accuracy and power.

Perfect refresher. Thanks so much!!!
Hey Justin thank you so much for making this video because on new years day i was think of buying a baseball glove and ball and i was so lost on what i was doing this strange glove because im in northern Ireland right and im not one part American but my love of american sport so i had a tough time growing up but with videos like this i hope some kid will have a better time then i did so thank you.
thanks for the tips....Im a great hitter and fielder but I struggle with throwing mecanics
Thanks coach Justin. Any drills on solo baseball throwing drills?
One thing I like to do when nobody can throw with me is to just take a bucket of balls to the field and throw into the distance on my own. You can either throw into a backstop or net, or you can throw from homeplate to the outfield and then get some conditioning in as you pick up the balls as well!

Hi I'm 12 years old and this video has thought me a lot and I'll try to use this information for my first ball game today
My son just started playing with a new club time and playing on the 60, 90 field for the first time. He is struggling throwing, but I think this video will really help him.
Would your throwing tutorials apply the same ways when using a softball?
Yes, should be the same. I've never played softball, but I assume throwing mechanics are the same across the board
Can this apply to softball as well? My coach always tells me I short arm it and I wanna throw it good and long
I am in the top team for traveling at 13u and still never learned how to properly throw a baseball, so thanks for this video!
How much do you use your throwing arm? Do you use your arm muscles to propel the ball, or is the arm kind of limp, and you whip it through?
Very Impressed. Lots of instruction. Thank You.
This helps a lot because lately in this offseason I’ve been slumping and I realize that my legs weren’t lined up and also I wasn’t pointing after I throw it
Great stuff. Trying to my son to throw a cricket ball further and this has helped me too!
Good...basic...fundamental stuff. Sometimes we forget about them when coaching but this is great.
Love the fact that you said follow your throw at the end. Not enough coaches say that!
Thanks for this video you are very amazing coach iam only started to play baseball now I know how to throw baseball thx
Thanks bro. I know nothing bout baseball trying to teach my son.
Thanx for the help. Im getting ready to teach my 3 yo grandson how to throw. I am a former t-ball coach and this was helpful
Are you filming these at Gallaraga (Baxter) field?
Thank you so much, now maybe I can teach my son! I am his mother, and I am not sporty but maybe this will give him a chance... so thank you! 😊❤
Im learning how to switch pitch so this will definitely be helpful.
should your throwing arm be loose or hard like when your flexing your muscles?
You should try to stay loose!
Ultimate Baseball Training cool! and what about long toss?
I highly recommend long toss!
thanks
Ultimate Baseball Training should the throwing arm be loose in long toss too?
Just started playing baseball and I was wondering why I wasn’t throwing the ball fast and accurate 😂. This quarantine got me playing all the sports and definitely baseball is my favorite sport ⚾️⚾️⚾️

This really helped because I forgot how to throw a baseball as I haven’t played since tee ball, now I’m in high school and just started
Find a field with rocks, fist sized rocks.
Pick a target and get out there and throw the rocks as HARD as you can at the target.
After a few weeks you'll realize that this baseball stuff is very natural, you just need to realize it.
You'll be able to throw these rocks far, straight, and with a spin.
I live in a desert and go ti the dry riverbed to throw small rocks at big rocks, and it's always great fun to see either the small rocks explode on the big rocks, or to see a big blast of dirt from the rock hitting the ground at 60+ mph.
Great tutorial video - thanks for sharing this amazing tips!
