Wall Pitching (Softball Pitching)

Category: Pitching, All Ages

Purpose: To develop speed without worrying about accuracy.

Procedure: The pitcher stands 10 to 15 feet from a wall and throws hard, focusing on mechanics and the feeling of throwing the ball hard. The repeated impact will soften a ball before long, so the pitcher should use the same ball. Don't use a rubber ball that lacks seams because the pitcher must be able to grip the ball properly. An advantage of this kind of practice is that pitchers can do it on their own at any time.

      This is how I learned to pitch as a kid. I could do it without needing a partner and at my own convenience. I think it really helped me get my speed and accuracy down. I drew a box with an X in it and learned to hit all corners.
