Pitching to Win With Your Fastball

Learn the secretes to becoming a more successful pitcher by mastering your fastball! Pitching to Win With Your Fastball�provides a comprehensive overview of the factors involved in each variant of the fastball. This comprehensive coaching course points out that every type of pitch is thrown with fastball arm speed and fastball mechanics. In other words, ideally, almost every pitch should come out of a pitcher�s grip (depth, firmness, softness) the same. In reality, the part of the ball thrown changes the pitch and/or the speed of the pitch. In addition, the course reviews several key aspects involved in throwing a fastball, including location, strategy, pitching combinations, and situational usage.
