    Stride

     view description
    • The legs are important for power.

      The stride should be at least the length of the pitcher's height.

      Players should use a strong push with the legs.

      Always try to push and get farther out than the last time.

      All motion must be straight toward the catcher.

         
      Tip: The longer the stride, the better. Change-ups and drop balls are usually thrown with a shorter stride to slow the pitch or get over the ball. The longer stride the pitcher takes, the more push she needs to give with her legs. The more legs she uses, the faster her pitches.
