Catching Drills & Exercises to decrease your release time for throwing out base stealers

The ability to catch the ball, transfer it to your throwing hand and get it on its way as quickly as possible is one of if not THE most important component to throwing out potential base stealers. It's called your "release time." ⚾️ 1. Med Ball Resisted Torso Twists - Having a strong core, and more specifically obliques (rotational muscles) will aid in rotating the body quicker to get into throwing position. ⚾️ 2. Band Resisted Two Knee Exchanges - The ability to get the throwing arm back (I call it "cocking the hammer on your gun") quickly is essential in decreasing your release. This exercise will help strengthen your "exchange muscles." ⚾️ 3. Two Ball Two Knee Exchanges - Hand-eye coordination and quickness are key components to a quick release. Additionally, our front arm mechanics help too. This drill helps with both! ⚾️ 4. Two Knee Torque Throws - Getting the shoulders closed and creating torque (creating a stretch reflex in your muscles) is paramount for quickness and arm speed. ๐Ÿ”” Subscribe now to learn the art of catching through camps, virtual training, and exclusive social media content: https://t.ly/lv-re ✅ Individual Camp Links: Kansas City, KS Sept: https://ift.tt/bIG3Kc0 Arlington, TX.
