Tip of the Week
Pick off attempts.....
Another baseball pitching tip...
On pick off attempts, it helps to throw like a catcher. To do this, concentrate on three things:
1) Short arm
2) Accuracy and
3) Throwing into a window
Pick offs have to be quick. You must get the baseball from your glove to your ear and released as quickly as possible. Short arm it by separating your hands "up" and into throwing position, not down. Up is quicker.
Then make an accurate throw to your first baseman's "window," that imaginary rectangle that's about hip high, just above the first base bag.
Make it easy for your first baseman to handle the throw and make a tag.
Practice it!
