we are 8-2 so far, but i feel my tips are very repetitive like bend and throw, breath, concentrate, etc.

Ok I was a left-handed pitcher and just graduated after playing in college. The best source in baseball right now for pitching is Tom House. If you are really serious about becoming a good pitching coach you'd learn as much about him as possible -- buying one of his recent books is a great option. He is not only a former baseball pitcher / pitching coach, but also has a Phd in bio kinetics. He was Nolan Ryan's, Randy Johnson's, Curt Schilling's, etc. pitching coach. For quick refence I'll go over three things: mental aspect, mechanics, and drills.

1. Mental aspect. Pitching is all mental. It is as much about confidence as anything. A good pitcher is not just talented physically but also understands a batter's stregnths and weaknesses and exploits them. He also follows these goals...

A.Get ahead in the count (throw a first pitch strike)
B.Get the first out of the inning (this takes away the opposing team's ability to play small-ball)
C.When you get a hitter 0-2 change head or change feet. That means make them reach for a pitch off the plate or brush them back inside -- this choice will become more clear when you know the hitter.
D. Never commit a cardinal sin of pitching (0-2 to 3-2 or even worse a walk, 0-2 hard contact -- they should never hit an 0-2 pitch hard if at all, lead-off walk)
E. Pitch down in the zone and on the corners
F. Have command of three pitches (i.e. fastball, breaking pitch, change-up)
G. Know the how attributes of pitches rank (1. Location, 2. Movement, 3. Velocity -- don't try to overthrow the ball)

2. Mechanics

A. Have good posture and good balence (be over the center of gravity, pitch off your toes not your heels)
B. Throw with equal and opposite (if front side is high back side is low)
C. Stay in the box keep your front elbow between your shoulder and your hips at all times, don't pull it out of the that box on follow through -- it will move the release point)
D. Keep your head still (1 inch of head movement moves release point 2 inches...something like that not positive)
E. IMPORTANT Throw to your glove. Hold your front side glove out, push it closer to the plate, and aim it where you want the pitch to go. When you throw move your throwing arm to the mit. It is like a site on a gun. The front side (glove) is a muzzle, your arm is the bullet. Point the muzzle and direct the bullet to it. If you miss low push out farther with your front side. The farther you extend your front glove the closer you throw to the plate, which creates preceived velocity. A good drill for this is the Towel Drill.
F. Step over the buck with your back foot when you follow through.
G. When you throw a curveball you wrist should be at full pronation. When you throw the pitch you do a karate chop motion. Your fingers shoould be folded over the ball.
H. When you throw a curveball hold it in your glove a second longer before you part your hands.
I. Change-ups are thrown with full supination -- like a screwball. Drop your thumb to your hip -- set that angle and keep it, unless you do that the pitch will be ineffective and will hurt your arm. (a left handers thumb will be facing first base at release, a right hander will face third)
J. Pitches are more a matter of arm angle than grip.

3. Drills

A. Towel Drill -- Go through your motion with an 18-inch towel held with your middle finger 6 inches down. Mark off full extension and have a buddy hold out his glove there. Try to slap his glove with the towel. If you can, move your buddy back and try again. This will help extension and is also a good way to solidify mechanics without pitching a ball.

B. Knees -- start each day throwing all your pitches from both knees (both knees on the ground). This should isolate the upper body and allow you to get a feel for your pitches and help solidify release point.

C. Hat drill -- Take off your hat and put it about 15 feet in front of you. Have your buddy do the same. Try to throw the ball and hit the hat. If you miss side to side ajust your equal and opposite, if you miss short push your glove closer.

There is so much more stuff that I learned and could try to convey, but there is not eneough space or time. Hopefully I explained everything well enough and correctly. Good luck on your season. The most important thing will always be getting ahead in the count and throwing strikes. If you can make a team hit behind in the count and put the ball in play or strike out in every at bat, you will do well.

You can also email me: monkey410@yahoo.com I don't check it a whole bunch and if the message goes into the bulk folder I probably won't get it. It's a second or third email. But, I'd love to help out if you need anything else. Sorry about the grammar and spelling errors -- I was in a hurry typing.

tell them not to get too cute with different pitches, make sure to keep ahead in the count. also, own the inside of the strike zone to prevent hitters from leaning out over the plate.

make sure u make them run alot to make your kids stronger they need strong legs. One thing high school coaches forget is that when it comes to pithcing it's all about your legs...

please go to my question at this link.....its about baseball and i need a good opinion.

Take Care and Good Luck to Your Team!!

work on location of pitches and changing speeds in different counts.

Put the ball over the plate. Mix up their speeds a little bit. Make the batter work. with 2 strikes tell them to be careful with their spots. with 2 outs and a guy on 1st or 3rd don't worry about picking anyone of let the fielders get the field. just strike the guy out. Make sure to own the inside of the plate. Keep the batter off the plate. Use the inside to set up something outside. There are many things you could tell them but that is the basics.
