In this week’s Coaching Blog straight out of our Baseball Coaching Academy, Illinois pitching coach Drew Dickinson shows us the “short bullpen drill.”
This drill is designed to help a pitcher in many ways from the mental aspect to a pitcher’s mechanics. According to Coach Dickinson, the most important thing a short bullpen can do is to improve a pitcher’s mechanics.
With the catcher and a shorter distance, the pitcher doesn’t feel like he doesn’t have to do as much, which emphasizes an effortless delivery with smooth actions.
Try this drill to help your pitchers command the strike zone!
