Welcome to the topic you’ll be talking about for the rest of your baseball career - mechanics.

No matter how long you play this game, you’ll forever be working on your mechanics. They require constant refinement and the material below is designed to help you improve your mechanics, even when a coach isn’t about.

<aside> 🤕 Sometimes, fixing your mechanics can cause pain. If this is the case, please tell one of our coaches.

What do good mechanics look like?


There are many ways to throw a baseball.

The way you’ll learn to throw in this clinic is designed to:

  1. Reduce your chance of injury,
  2. Improve your accuracy, and
  3. Increase your velocity

Good mechanics provide an efficient exchange of momentum through your legs, core, arm and into the finger tips.

For catchers, that begins with the right footwork.
