Spartan Pitching Handbook (Compiled and Written by Greg Mueller, Revised December, 2009)
Spartan Pitching Handbook (Compiled and written by Greg Mueller, revised December, 2009) General Pitching Philosophy – “Believe in the Power of One” These are some, but not all, of the ideas you will need to become an excellent Spartan pitcher. During the course of the season, the coaches will give you other information to develop your pitching skills and understanding – listen carefully and work hard – in order to advance as an individual player and contribute to the team’s success. “Pitching is what the game is all about. Pitching IS the game.” (Bob Welch, 1990 Cy Young winner) The pitcher is “the only offensive player on the defensive field. Action begins when the pitcher delivers the ball. He is pro-active; the hitter is reactive….All too often, however, the pitcher forfeits that edge.” (H.A. Dorfman, pitching instructor/counselor for Oakland A’s, Florida Marlins, Tampa Bay Devil Rays) Pitching is 90 – 95 percent of the game, therefore, you need to be LEADERS of the team in practice as well as in games – set the tone with a confident attitude and exemplary work ethic. You need to give 100% on all drills, duties and routines. Live by these principles, “practice centers around getting better every day”, “perfect practice makes perfect” and “practice hard or go home”. SUCCESS in pitching requires 1. Excellent physical conditioning / strength – you will need to run more than position players to get your legs in shape because when the legs get tired your mechanics breakdown; you will need to do med ball wall and throwing exercises to strengthen your core muscles to promote better hip rotation which will increase your velocity; and, you will need to do arm circles.
