Stride leg and the push out are both so important for power. I love using this drill to get girls to feel where they need to be. Have you tried it yet? _______ Give cues, break it down, show EXACTLY what it's supposed to look like | Amanda Scarborough - Softball Pitching Angel

If you want more power… start at the start. ⚡️ One of the biggest game-changers for pitchers is learning how to truly get into their drive leg. The ballerina drill is one of my favorite ways to teach this. Why? Because it forces you to feel: ✨ Knee over toe ✨ Chest stacked over knee ✨ A strong, athletic launch position When those three pieces line up, your first push becomes explosive, your timing improves, and your whole pitch gets smoother and more powerful.

Being able to feel the power in your legs is HUGE. To get the most out of your legs, you have to be staying within them. What that means is making sure you are STACKED in the middle of your pitch and having a firm front side. When doing the push to check (first drill) be sure to pause long enough to check your position and fix it to be correct (hip, knee, and shoulder all “stacked” in a straight line) before moving on!! It’s the little things that make a big difference 🫶🏽 The stacked position

I’ve been testing new drills with resistance tools for years, and when we started using Minichutes… Everything changed. Pitchers started throwing harder, without over-relying on their arms. How? Using the Minichutes, they discovered how to truly feel the drive from their lower half, sync it with their arm motion, and build the kind of strength that actually translates to real velocity increases. These Minichutes are now my go-to tool for helping pitchers train smarter and throw with more power.

If you want to be powerful, start here. This is one of our favorite drills at Pitching Angel — with a small in-camp twist that changes everything. Why? Because power isn’t about muscling the ball. It’s about efficient mechanics, built the right way, in the right order. At PAE, every drill is intentional. Day by day. Mechanic by mechanic. Designed to build an unbreakable foundation that lets you throw harder, stay healthy, and pitch longer. ✨ Want the secret sauce? Comment 999 to get the PAE dril

She loaded, pushed off the mound, and… nothing. No explosion. No real drive. No power behind the pitch. She knew she needed more speed, but every time she tried to throw harder, it felt like she was forcing it—muscling the ball instead of actually generating power. And deep down, she started wondering… Is this just as fast as I can throw? But here’s the truth: 👉 If she’s not using her legs right now, she’s already losing speed before the ball even leaves her hand. 👉 If she’s not driving correc

Speed is NOT everything.… but it’s definitely something. There are plenty of college pitchers right now that don’t throw 70mph (it’s actually more like the majority). While you will see upper 60s and low 70s in college, there are so many pitchers that don’t throw those speeds. Speed is just ONE aspect of a pitcher. If she has speed, that’s great. However learning to move the ball and locate is JUST as great, if not even MORE important. Everyone has different strengths and while speed is a streng

Tennessee’s Karlyn Pickens is one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in college softball, and she is electric to watch. 🔥 With explosive leg drive and an effortless whip, she’s a prime example of how elite pitchers generate power.

Most pitchers aren’t struggling because of effort—they’re struggling because of mechanics. She’s not lazy. She’s not broken. She’s just missing a foundation that actually works.

If her foot is collapsing behind her, she’s losing momentum, timing, and consistency.⚠️ Missing Connected Ending – That smooth, powerful moment where everything conne

You want to feel your front toes push down into the ground—creating that bend in the knee and lean into your front foot. You can see it here VERY clearly.

Because when your mechanics are efficient, your power and accuracy skyrocket.

So many pitchers waste energy trying to muscle the ball with their arm, thinking that trying to throw harder will automatically mean throwing faster. 🚨 But here’s the truth: Speed doesn’t come from your arm. It comes from your legs. ✅ A strong lower half creates explosive power off the mound. ✅ A controlled drag allows energy to transfer efficiently up the chain. ✅ A stable front side helps you brace and maximize force at release. When your lower half works correctly, your upper half doesn’t ha
