The purpose and setup of this drill is similar to the two-knee throwing drill. It is designed to practice proper throwing mechanics of the upper body as well as emphasize extending the front side.
Equipment
Baseballs (1 between partners)
Gloves (optional)
Description
Divide players into partners and line them up along one of the foul lines.
Players should be positioned 15-20 feet apart (distance is also dependant on arm strength and accuracy).
In this drill the player kneels down on the leg that his/her throwing-hand is on (ie. if the player throws with his/her right hand, he/she would kneel down on the right leg).
Tips
Emphasis should be placed on accuracy.
Start with hands at mid-chest.
Players should throw the ball using a 4 seam grip and aim for their partner's chest.
This drill can be done with or without a glove depending on skill level.
