Pitching Philosophy

Pitching is a balance of physical skill, mental approach and proper mechanics. Doug Carroll Baseball Academy works with our young athletes to teach proper technique with every pitch thrown. Our personalized approach instills confidence in the ballplayer, so that they can focus on the correct form and delivery of their pitches.

Below are the basic principles of our pitching instruction:

1. Balance
2. Posture
3. "Hand over the ball"
4. Proper arm action and release point (Let your body deliver your arm)
5. Pitching grips and off speed pitches
6. Pick-off moves
7. Core strength conditioning
8. Mental conditioning and focus drills
