This is our towel drill. The purpose of this towel follow through drill is to prevent short arming the baseball and making sure that each player finishes in its proper throwing delivery. When each coach is comfortable with the mechanics of pitching a baseball he can use this drill to emphasize, release and follow through. What we demonstrate here is that each player has a towel in place of a baseball in his glove. He will go through his exact delivery, starting with momentum and finishing with the follow through. Begin, momentum, davit, load up, collapse, deliver.
As you would notice as he continues to do this over and over again his eyes are focus on the catches met and he is extending his full arm to reach and come in contact with the catches glove. As each player is demonstrating his delivery, each coach can check to see that he is balanced, he is loading up, he is extending his arm with the towel, he is releasing out in front of him and following through. Load up, extend, release follow through. Set back ready! Begin! Load up, release, follow through. Ready position, momentum, davit, load it up, release follow through. Ready position, momentum, davit, load up, release follow through.
