Pitching Mechanics Progression

Dugout Master ✓ Official Dugout Master drill

Pitchers work through their delivery in controlled stages, emphasizing balance, direction, separation, and consistent finish.

Pitching⏱ 15 min👥 2-8 players

Setup

Pair pitchers up on flat ground at about forty-five feet, or put them on a mound with a catcher. Work in a line with plenty of space between pairs. No radar, no competition — this is a mechanics block.

Execution

  1. Five throws from the knees, working only the arm path and finish.
  2. Five throws from a stride position, feet already split, working separation and the front side.
  3. Five throws from a balance position, pausing at the top of the leg lift before delivering.
  4. Five full-delivery throws at seventy percent effort.
  5. Five full-delivery throws at game intent, holding the finish for a beat after every one.
