Play Ball Video Pitching Lessons, Drills, and Tips

Most baseball coaches understand the idea that hitting wins games and pitching wins championships. There is nothing better to halt a good hitting team than a dominating starting pitcher. Some may argue that the pitcher may be the most important man on the field during the game. You don't need to look farther than the Major Leagues for proof of this statement. Josh Beckett single handily put an end to the Yankees' 2003 campaign when he blew through their powerful lineup with a spectacular pitching performance. Two years earlier, Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling combined to stifle the Yankees lineup in 2001. It's the name of the game, and if you want your teams to be of championship caliber, then build it around a solid pitching staff.

In the Play Ball pitching section, you'll find a number of video and audio lessons that cover everything from pitch calling to high level mechanics.
