Complete Pitching Mechanics Breakdown: Every Step Explained

✅My online pitching instruction courses (beginner and advanced) are here: danblewett.com/pitching-isnt-complicated-course/

Hey coach, I am a 14 year old starting pitcher trying to learn mechanics and get reallly good. This video is extremely helpful and I feel as im progressing as I should. I am very grateful to have come across your page and you are very kind to have this 38 minutes of mechanics out for free. Highly appreciated

Coach, I pitched in high school and picked up some bad habits. Now as a coach for the last 18 years I have tried to teach my pitchers proper techniques. One thing I found with the younger kids especially on the hand break is to tell something that a college coach once told me, “ Thumbs to the thighs then fingers to the sky”. It seems to help not only with hand position but also helps to keep their front shoulder closed

Coach, my return to baseball nearly 20 years after I last played it (I'm 32, haven't played since early teens) has led me to discover an aptitude for pitching I never knew I possessed (as a lefty, I was always usually just a first baseman or outfielder), and in doing this my life and my health have improved in ways I could have never predicted. I have been practicing with some basic instructional videos from elsewhere on youtube and that helped me with the general ability to just throw pitches, but I find your videos have the greatest effect on me actually unlocking my potential by giving the most granular examination of the exact things I need to work on while remaining easy to digest. I am still very much a work in progress but your material has already made a huge difference. My fastball recently hit 90 mph for the first time, and I'm able to dot the corners more consistently with each workout every passing day. I now have a healthy obsession with becoming a better pitcher so I will be ordering a copy of your book to further supplement me on my journey. Thank you for giving away freely on your channel what many other teachers would charge a lot of money for, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

This is amazing, I have a 13 year old that throws hard and is a lefty so his coaches want him to pitch. I was Shotput discus guy and did not play baseball competitively. This simplified this and helped me relate this to power positions and rotational energy I used weight throwing in track and field to his pitching. His command is getting so much better now that he has a consistent delivery that he is learning to self correct. Thanks Coach Dan!!

I learned so much from your video for tennis serves. It is such a high quality reference! Most of the videos on tennis are confusing and get lost in the details. To have someone lay out the mechanics of throwing it's much easier to see through the essential parts and ignore the minute details.

I had 4 pitching coaches when I was young and this was better than every lesson I had

Dan, thank you for defining your terms. I've heard several pitching videos say, "Keeping your chest closed" and had no idea what they meant. Too many former players use terms presumptively of their audience.

Thank you so much, coach Dan, for this excellent presentation! Very helpful!

Coach thank you for this wonderful pitching

Incredibly helpful, Dan. Thank you!

Yes! I used to be a pitcher in my day and am now teaching my son. This is by far the best, most up to date, and comprehensive video I have came across. Gold. Thanks!

After watching this video, your batting mechanics video, and just a little practice with friends, I've gone from not thinking I could play baseball in a million years to being fully confident that I could be an above average player on my school's team. Granted, we're only a handful of schools away from being the worst in Ohio, but I'm still glad I can enjoy the sport. I have a full year to practice and hone my skills, and I'm excited for baseball season when it finally comes back around. Thank you for this opportunity

This is the best explanation I've ever heard. Thank you Coach Dan, you really help me understand what to look for.

thank you for this video it helped me so much with my pitching stance.

Much more in depth video coach, thank you for this. You have given me the tools I need to properly teach my son.

I'm a young pitcher. 11 years old and this video is epic. Really helps me understand. You're da man Coach Dan!

Thanks for this video as a super short pitcher it was hard to understand mechanics from just watching in fast motion but you breaking down every part helped a lot.

The content in this video is amazing. Also, thanks for the chapter breakdown.

This is awesome coach thank you for this!
