As you pitchers get ready for the upcoming season, take a minute to think about what you did well and not so well last year...With each workout think about the pitches you need to improve upon and ADD a new twist to the pitch. If you need to get better with control take a look at your windup. Maybe your hand position can be adjusted. Sometimes guys with a big long arm tend to be more effective with thier hands starting low in the windup. Short arm pitchers, maybe raising your hands so you can get on top of your pitches consistently. These are a couple of thoughts...
If you know you want to get better but aren't sure what steps to take - ASK QUESTIONS!!! Ask your coach, teammates, opponents. Be ready, willing and able to accept constructive criticism! It's a great way to see rapid improvement.
Getting better is usually nothing more than TRIAL AND ERROR. Try new things, if they don't work you can always go back to what you used to do. Then try something else and repeat the process. Remember, your pitching career is a WORK IN PROGRESS that will end only when you want it to. Take time to enjoy the effort you put into it and if you are not satisfied, that's ok. The great ones feel they can always do more.
