The purpose of this drill is to emphasize proper throwing mechanics of the wrist and forearm and to develop good spin.
Equipment
Baseballs (1 between partners)
Gloves
Cones
Description
Divide players into partners and line them up along one of the foul lines.
Players should be positioned 10-15 feet apart (cross-legged).
Holding the ball across the seams (see skill outline for details), with non-throwing hand supporting the throwing elbow, player flicks the ball to his/her partner.
Tips
Emphasis should be placed on proper spin and grip.
Players should throw the ball using a 4 seam grip and aim for their partner's chest.
After a few repetitions, back players up and have them throw without holding their elbows (see video)
