Pitching instruction is not what it used to be.
Pitching is a complex area of the game. It was never a matter of "just throw strikes!" But while the new talk is about keeping it simple, that only works for the young journeyman pitcher who throws an occasional inning or two, and for the coach who can only devote some of his time to pitching, because his team's hitting and fielding and baserunning also need work.
For the young pitcher committed to his craft, with aspirations for college or pro ball, the level and detail of instructions has to notch up. Difficult enough. Plus, it seems there are as many pitching theories as there are pitching coaches.
In an effort to break down the science, yet leave room for some discussion of alternatives, this section of WebBall has been split into aspects of mechanical delivery, practice routines, pitch selection, etc. We will continue to add new discoveries as they are tested and proven where it counts - on the diamond.
