There are a variety of different baseball pitching techniques to be mindful
of as a pitcher.
For instance, it's very important to get the elbow above the shoulder when
pitching. Number two, it's very important that when they get into the
balance-point position, that they're balanced and they're fluid and they're
not tight in their posture. They should also hide the baseball effectively
so that the batter cannot see their grip on the baseball. And upon
releasing the baseball, they must get good extension, and to do so they
must bend their back into what we call a flat back posture.
Another thing that pitchers need to do is make sure they incorporate their
hips and lower body in their pitching. Otherwise, they'll be pitching
strictly with their upper body and will not gain the maximum velocity on
the ball. Lastly, their back leg must come around so they can wind up in a
solid fielding position.
Those are some effective pitching techniques.
