Pitching Coaches

Softball Pitching Lessons

A softball team is only as good as their pitcher. The best teams have a pitcher they can trust to compete in the strike zone, get outs, and help the team win. Unlike baseball, where every player including the pitcher throws overhand, softball presents a unique challenge in that having the ability to compete in the circle requires unique skills that can only be obtained through drills, proper mechanics, and the right instructor. Softball pitching lessons with a quality coach are the best way to improve your training, learn technical mechanics, and improve your ability so that you can continue to stay healthy and pitch for a long time.

Why Should I Get Softball Pitching Lessons?

Softball pitching lessons with a quality coach provide you with the best opportunity to have success at any level of softball. The women competing in the College World Series did not get there on their own. They have been training with coaches for years to become the players they are today. Lessons with pitching instructors are instrumental in teaching fundamental pitching skills while also preparing players for how to take their practice performance directly into game competition. While an in-person lesson is often the first choice for most athletes, The Pro’s List has fast adapted with the times. We know the value of online programs and remote coaches so our platform provides pitchers with the option to find a “remote” pro. Working online allows for you to share video with a coach, have your questions answered, and to work with some of the top coaches in the country you may not otherwise have access to. For in-person and remote training, video breakdown allows for a pitcher to see what the shape of their pitches and their pitching delivery look like. A softball pitching coach can share what you do well or what you need to improve upon by comparing your video to previous videos of yourself or by comparing you to other softball pitchers. While no two pitchers are the same, it is important for young pitchers to understand what allows the top pitchers in the game to be successful.

How Will I improve As A Softball Player?

As a softball player, it is important to take ownership of your own career. While coaches may provide drills to learn a new pitch or information about mechanics, improvement will ultimately come down to you, the athlete. There is no fast way to the top, but spending time working on the right details is a must if you want to continue pitching at the next level. Proper pitching mechanics can lead directly to increased velocity, improved command, and better performance. Good pitching lessons teach a pitcher to use their body optimally so they can move more efficiently. Efficient pitching mechanics means the body can repeat movements while moving faster for increased velocity and more consistent pitches. At The Pro’s List, we stress finding a coach that is a good fit for you personally. A good pitching coach knows you as a pitcher and will work to improve you, not make you “perfect”. While the ability to throw fast is what most pitchers want from their instruction, it is important to know improved velocity is often a byproduct. Learning efficient mechanics, training your mind, and moving faster can lead directly to the increase in ability and performance you are looking for.

What Do We Offer?

The Pro’s List is the only online platform that allows a parent or athlete to find softball pitching lessons in their local community and know if the coach is a good fit before taking a lesson. For a more advanced player, The Pro’s List offers guides users to find new softball technology to better develop a pitch. By measuring velocity and other metrics, pitchers receive instant feedback for more detailed instruction and refined training. Softball pitching lessons are one aspect of a player’s development, but pitchers must develop physically and mentally as well. The Pro’s List guides a softball player to find every service they need from strength coach or a mental skills coach, to a physical therapist to develop an arm care program.

Conclusion

There is a limit in any softball player’s career as to how far their own information and ability can take them. While there is no substitute for your own work ethic and training, pitching lessons help improve your ability to throw and pitch . Nobody achieves alone so build a team around you that can help you get to where you want to go.

 

It takes a team. Find your team. Only at The Pro’s List.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been playing softball.  I began my career as a “Little Giant” playing tee ball with a coed team.  After that year, I couldn’t get enough of softball!

Year in and year out I was always on a team practicing until the sun went down.  When I got older I ended up being the only freshman on the Varsity team for Lakewood High School.  I played 3rd, CF, Short Stop and Pitcher.  I was constantly bouncing around the field until my junior and senior year when pitching became my main focus.

I was recruited to East Carolina University where I continued my career as a pitcher.  In 2007 I became Rookie of the Year and had a 21-5 record.  By the end of my college career I earned 3 championships, 3 C-USA Pitcher of the year honors, 3 C-USA 1st Team honors and became the 2010 C-USA Student-Athlete of the year along with a 2010 All-America honor.

I was able to break most C-USA records including career strikeouts, wins, shutouts and innings pitched.  I am currently the ECU single season recorder leader with strikeouts and shutouts.  In my Senior year at ECU I was the 10th draft pick for the National Pro Fastpitch League (NPF).  This draft lead me to pitch with the 2011 Akron Racers where I went 3-1 on the season.  In 2018 I had the opportunity to pitch on the National Peru Team at the International Cup.

My life with softball is still not over because now I want to give back!  I love coaching and helping girls one-on-one become the best players that they can be on and off the field!
