ALL STAR BASEBALL'S TIP OF THE WEEK


This week's Tip is from Mark Freed, Manager of our West Chester facility and former pitcher in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization.


MASTERING CONSISTENT DELIVERY IS KEY FOR PITCHERS!

There are two main areas of focus where you can work to improve your pitching skills.  There are many small details when it comes to pitching, but everything fits into 2 main categories--  good delivery and good location.  When working in the bullpen or in a lesson, you must choose one of the two to work on.  It's almost impossible to work on both areas in the same session.

The exciting part is that a good, consistent pitching delivery will lead to good location.  So, start with working on your mechanics of a consistent, balanced pitching motion.  With your mechanics, get to a good balance point, and focus on good direction to your target.  A strong, repeatable delivery will lead to good location.





To schedule a lesson with Mark or one of our other top instructors at West Chester, call 610-399-8050 or stop in and book a lesson package for the fall and winter season!

Next week's Tip will be from our staff at ASBA Broomall.
