Long Toss and Pitching Velocity
We have answered a bunch of questions lately regarding what pitchers should be doing now to prepare for the season. We say long toss. However, we have discovered that our definition of long toss isn't always what pitchers are doing.
As a pitcher it is important that you play long toss. However, most pitchers are confused as to what long toss really is. Most people think you are supposed to rear back and throw as far as you possibly can. Long toss simply means that you throw at maximum distance and intensity with perfect pitching mechanics. If this distance is only 80 feet, throw 80 feet.
The most common problem pitchers face with their pitching mechanics when throwing long toss is not maintaining proper balance keeping their head over center of gravity.
