hi! i’m trying out for softball in my sophomore year of high school with no experience and i’m incredibly nervous, but i have until spring and your videos are helping me understand softball so much better that i think i could stand a chance. thank you!!
Good luck to you! :)
@Queen J Squad Life i’m a sophomore trying out too! good luck
@@whotfislucy me too can you update with results?
@Queen J Squad Life oh man, things happened and i ended up not even trying out. i might next year though! good luck if you do!
My advice for fielding is stay low!! And always be ready
This is exactly how my daughter learned to pitch 5 years ago. It is fundamentally sound how you have explained the reach track fire and drive position. Great job, I enjoyed the vid!!!
I won't forget her freshman year, so much confidence. Her and Stacey had such killer deliveries, love the screw ball style.
Thank you Meg! I appreciate this new pitching video which shows more of a forearm type of fire vs the hello elbow. Great to have different vids to show different pitching styles.
My 7-year-old daughter is getting into softball this year and I have only ever pitched as a baseball player so I had to learn the stance from this video so I could teach her. Lol thank you
Pitching is a lot to learn so glad this is helpful! I hope to have more pitching videos soon!
this is soo helpful! ive been playing softball for a year and ive always wanted to know how to pitch!
Great video Meg. My 9 year old daughter loves your vids. Thanks.
Thank u Meg for teaching Pitching this helped my daughter so much! ❤
Hey again! My mom and dad wanted me to try out pitching, this video was very helpful, im looking foward to trying these steps! Thank you!
Best video I’ve found yet! Trying to help my 11yo improve and I don’t know the first darn thing. Thank you!!!
🐐🐹
Hey! I'm a young 12U pitcher, and I like to watch your videos. Even though some of them are old. These kinds of videos help me teach the younger kids on my team. (They put select 3rd-4th graders on the 11-12U so they can know what it's like to leave little league.) This helps me and younger kids. Thank you!
That's awesome you're helping out the younger ones! Thanks for following along!
Amazing video thank you teaching my 9 year old how to pitch for 10u softball.
I like the forearm fire power finish like you portrayed. I know plenty of pitchers finish with their elbow pointing to catcher. Never
would throw like that.
I was always taught to finish up as if you were ready to field, bringing that back foot all the way forward so that you’re not thrown off balance if you get a line drive right back at you.
I have to show this to my 11 yr old, she has never pitched up until yesterday where they won 6-2 and she pitched the whole game. She did pretty good , it was against a low level team which was perfect given she decide to try pitching the same day
I’ve been doing soft ball for a few years now at this place in my town and I’ve been playing 2nd base and short stop but today was our first game of the season and only one person knew how to pitch on my team and the coach needed someone else to pitch and he looked at me and said “your gonna pitch” and keep in mind I have never been a pitcher before and I haven’t really been practicing a whole lot but I thought I give it a try,because no one could blame me since it was the first game.But after I did do it I felt so embarrassed,but right as I came home I started practicing pitching so if that ever happens again I’ll be ready,and your videos are really helpful.:)
I love this! Pitching is so hard but good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new!
This is very helpful! I lost confidence last year as a pitcher because of people on my team, and I just kind of forgot how to do it. My coach recommended you to me me so I could watch! I am most likely going to be lead pitcher tomorrow at my game!
Love to hear it!! Good luck to you! You’ve got this!
thank you so much! i really want to do softball this is really helpful!!
Thanks you helps my daughter a lot She is a catcher and she play second And all of these videos help her a lot you are so amazing
Thank you! I am glad they are helpful
Thanks for the upload.
Ima centerfielder learning to pitch this can’t be good 😂🤦♀️ but very informative video
When I started watching you I was trash at softball but when my dad showed me you I have gotten sooooooo much better at softball 🥎
Love to hear this! Keep grinding!
Keep the vids coming!! T y
Thank you so much this video is so helpful
Ty this helped so much. I'm in 6th grade and I'm trying to become a pitcher
I am coaching GIRLS SOFTBALL ages 8 to 10 this year and it’s my first time! And this video helped me out so much thank you I made my kids watch it and I’m gonna send to the rest of the team lol🎉🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome! I am glad it was helpful
im trying out tomorrow, I'm so nervous Thank you for this.
You’ve got this!💪🏼
I love this video
funny enough im kinda a author (too nervous to publish anything lol) but my main characters a softball pitcher this made so much sense thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it! And you should publish! Go for it
Where did you get this pitching mat & mound? I need one asap for my new pitcher .
Very fundamentally sound information
Thank you I’m trying to learn pitching and I play for West Pasco girl County
Where did you get this pitching mat & mound? I need need one asap.?
This video is so helpful and really fixed my windmill motion 😊 but I have a problem with how I end the pitch. I don’t quite understand how to finish my snap motion and I always end with a tucked form. Do you think you can explain in a bit further detail how you finish with your arm out the way that you did? Awesome video and thank you so much
I’m in the process of getting more of my pitcher friends to make more videos!
@@MegRemSoftball cool!! Thank you for the help 🥰
This really helped my child
this might be stupid but i just started and teaching myself but when i pitch do i have to do that arm swing thing?
Great video! Couldn’t really understand the basics but it’s a learning process. I’ve watched many video to help my pitching, I unfortunately couldn’t really understand what u were trying to say.
Hi! Ur videos are really good and I am a beginner pitcher. So basically in my full motion, when I swing my arm back it’s going to the side and not directly back. Do u have any drills for that or how I could fix it? Thanks Meg!
Try going right next to a wall so you’re forced to stay straight!
@@MegRemSoftball Thank you so much!
I’m a pitcher and this is really hard i haven’t pitched like this before
very helpful\
Having trouble getting accuracy and consistency from my pitchers. Non of my girls takes lessons due to financial situations. Any tips.
Hi, I'm interested in improving my softball coaching. I hope I can use your information to make that happen.
What do you do if your pitches aren't reaching the catcher? Like they hit the floor before it reaches them?
Sounds like you need to use your legs a lot more!
I can’t wait to pitch, 12u
ME TOO
nice
I'm a 12u player rn and I've played 2 seasons of 10u and fallball is coming up and I want to be a pitcher so this rly hwlped
Why not step a little to the left of the power line, straight towards the catcher? It wld square you up to the plate upon release.
Loved the vid! Lots of great info! Please get a lapel microphone so we can hear you. I had my device turned all the way up and could barely hear you. It's a shame so much great information, can barely be heard.
That was when I just started and didn’t have a mic. I’ve upgraded!
Hey thanks I'm a gamer but I still play sports im pitcher on my team and IV been struggling lately and this week we are playing a team that's unbeaten (they cheat) at are town so I need to watch and learn again
This is probably a super silly question, but I cannot figure it out. Do you release the ball with your hand facing backwards or forwards?
Forwards
This is helpfull
I loved everything until you got to the snap part at the end. Is this a new way or was I just taught different? I am going to be giving a friends daughter pitching lessons and I want to teach her the best way. Can you tell me the reason that you don’t follow through with your right hip to be squared up with your catcher on the snap? I see a lot of girls that she is playing against pitch the way you just showed but none of them had power. I feel like following through with your hips gives you more power.
I think most are teaching the way she is pitching now, if you watch the college World Series you can see most of the girls do it this way
I have an 11yo daughter who has started lessons and is still struggling with landing in the power position and getting too much weight on her front foot and not “sitting back” on her back leg allowing her shoulders get over her front foot. Any drills for this? And also is there a way I might could email some video to help this old dad out at home with her?
Hi! Feel free to email me some videos (megan@megremsoftball.com) or send on instagram (megremsoftball) and I can check It out!
I have a game in 2 days and i just joind a soft ball team and i don't know how to bat goos.Do you mind helping me by doing a video please.
I have a video called "How to Hit" that will be very helpful!
im learning how to pitch for a travel team and ive only played outfield and third base😭
You got this!
Is that a Marucci store?
I'm going to fast pitch and I will need help getting my pitch right
You got this!
can you have the ball pointed down at 9:00 instead of pointed up
daz like under throw and u do it when throwing the ball neardistance.. maybe u can check other vids for it
I'm 0nly 10 thank you for thenceing e
I'll be honest, women shouldn't be playing sports. But I'm glad you have a nice little hobby.
Thank you!

For a video about throwing there's an amazing lack of actual throwing.
Sorry for being salty, but I've been invited to a tournament as a player in 1 week, have never played or seen a game before and am running out of time.
It's because it breaks down the mechanics on how to pitch
I’m a baseball pitcher. This will surely fool them.
