What is the correct way to bring your arm back when you throw?
by Daniel
Daniel asked: The same thing happens when a hitter steps in the bucket. When that front side opens up, the barrel of the bat drops, causing a long, looping swing. Keeping the front side closed is important. All are easily correctable mechanics. There are two pages on the site that deal specifically with throwing: Rookie Throwing Advanced Throwing Having good mechanics is important, so that your throws are strong and accurate; but it is also important to help protect your arm from injuries. It is difficult to play this game with a sore arm. Of the 10 lineup positions, only 1 is based solely on hitting skills. The ability to throw strongly and accurately is directly tied to a players success and enjoyment in the game. I suggest you break down each step of your mechanics, consciously check them for a while. Watch the spin to see if it is correct. Once it feels good again, and you are feeling smooth with it, start backing up and playing long toss. Long toss will tell you how you are doing. Stay with it! You had it once, it will come back. Baseball can be funny that way. Suddenly a skill you had seems to mysteriously disappear, for no apparent reason. Always go back to your base, and work your way back. Hitting and fielding are the same way. Practice Makes Permanent Perfect Practice Makes Perfect! Good luck as you move forward. Take care of that arm. Yours in baseball, Rick |
