Youth Pitching Mechanics: A Guide For Parents & Coaches

✅My online pitching instruction courses (beginner and advanced) are here: danblewett.com/pitching-isnt-complicated-course/

My son is a 1st year catcher at 11 years old. So we're out the every day minus rainy days of course. I'm throwing 60-80 pitches a day and at 52 my arm was hurting daily. UNTIL ! I watched your pitching mechanics videos . My arm has not been sore ever since and I'm throwing 75 mile an hour. It makes me wish I had a real coach when I was a youth. And also a lot of your other advise , such as when your kid has a bad game, find something they did well, and show them you have they're back. Great stuff !!! We really appreciate you Sir.

Thanks for this great video. My son has been struggling with his command of the strike zone, and I believe the information you have provided will not only simplify his delivery, but make it easier for him to consistently repeat to throw more strikes. Thank you!!

Great easy to understand content for us parents trying to help our boys. Thank you.

Awesome video, a must watch for a youth dad who is trying to coach their child

Thanks for the tips, i have no business on a mound but Ive been throwing curveballs around a tree in my backyard for my dogs to chase for years, theyll appreciate this too!

this is exactly how I used to pitch and then I went to my friends pitching class with him and his dad was one of my coaches..anyways he fed into everthing the pitching coach said and this guy had us doing a style way different then this..long story short I ended up with an arm injury 6 months later after pitching for 4 years without any problems..good video man

Good explanation and agree that kids don’t need to aim or worry about placement and just throw. Let the hitters hit and fielders field.

Awesome! I’m a 50-year man and I loved it! Always dreamed of being a professional MLB knuckleballer.

Thanks Dan, I really appreciate the time you take to teach kids the fundamentals.

Dan, Clean your Cleats was really good. I enjoyed it. Especially chapter 22.

Best pitching mechanics vid I've watched. Thank you sir.

Thank you for all the content you produce! Really helpful!

Great video!

Always awesome information just ordered a copy of your book for my son Much love

Great video.. my son played darts while pitching.. we corrected it this season.. but i was just glad you mentioned it.. also that hip leading drills looks good.. gonna try them out see if they work for us.. thank you..

at a younger age why not just throw out of the stretch and get rid of the extra motions of the wind up completely

Thanks!

Thank you Coach Dan!

I have heard different things about simplicity. Why are we pitching from the wind up? Just would think that pitching from the stretch is the simplest way to make fewer movements. I’m a Dizzy Dean league coach for 11-12 year olds. If you are not familiar with the league. It’s not little league rules it’s 60’6” 90 foot bases. Leads.. Big league rules for the most part. I’m not a pitcher . I played junior college ball. I’m so glad to have access to you through YouTube. I was an outfielder. Thanks sir!
