Runners on first and third - Defense for runners on first and third base
CoachMc writes "With runners on first and third many coaches just give second base to the runner on first. There are ways to combat runners on first and third and different strategies to attack runners on first and third. Most coaches just simply let the runner steal second on the basis of not making an error and/or giving up a run. This is not wrong, if this is the coaches strategy. But there are other defenses. "

Important Facts About Youth Baseball Pitching
CoachMc writes "Youth Baseball Pitching has many theories and schools of thought
out there. There is website by Dick Mills about momentum pitching and velocity for youth baseball players
that contradicts most other coaching. I believe there is middle ground between
explosive pitching and traditional pitching drills. However, there are many youth baseball
pitching drills out there, and many do not seem to have much impact. So use
your head and watch your youth pitchers to see if progress is being made.
Recorded video is a great way to do this and it also allows the youth baseball
pitcher to actually SEE what he is doing and see your coaching points.
I like to use drills
to overemphasize a bad habit or technique a pitcher may have. After muscle
memory and understanding by the youth baseball pitcher has taken in, the drill
may not be necessary anymore. Some youth baseball pitchers may not need the
same drills as others. Mound practice is probably the best practice a pitcher can
have and no drills necessary at this point.

Increased Throwing Velocity - Dick Mills on increasing throwing velocity
coachtrev writes "Pitching coach dick Mills has some great tips on increasing throwing velocity quickly
based on using Momentum Pitching. If you don't know about Momentum
Pitching, it is a new way to build forward momentum in any
pitcher's delivery by stepping back toward second base, then pushing off that
step back foot into the pivot and then driving away from the rubber sideways
without any leg lift. Basically speeding up the body.
