What is the best way to teach a kid to pitch?
-
For a little leaguer just getting into pitching and with a decent arm, what are the best drills or techniques to teach him how to properly pitch and develop into a good pitcher? He has potential, just want him to learn properly. Are there any good online drills/resources about this? Do you teach him to throw hard first, teach him control first? Teach him mechanics first? Just get it over the plate? Thanks, Arly from TX.

Answer:
Have him develop solid mechanics first. This will naturally lead into throwing strikes, which may be the single most important aspect of little league pitching. As he builds up arm strength and good mechanics velocity will follow. Please, please , please do not have him throw any curve balls until he is older, and do not make him throw too much. His young body needs sufficient time to recover. I agree with a previous poster that you may want t otake him to a pitching coach, which will get him into follwoing good habits and drills.
