What Makes Baseball Teams a Target for Hacks?
By Chris Sloan, 0 CommentsThursdays Throwing Tips
Yesterday, I wrote about the most difficult baseball throws at every position that, for inexperienced players, it was probably best to not attempt them. As players develop their games and game knowledge, they must gain the confidence to make those difficult baseball throws. Like anything, this confidence only develops through constant practice of those tough baseball throws.
As many baseball plays, some difficult plays do not happen very often in games, but are crucial game-determining plays, so the ability to make those throws accurately, make the difference between winning and losing. These following less common plays are often neglected in practice, but should get extra attention.
Catcher Of Course, catchers make more game throws than any player does besides pitchers, so they must work on many throws. However, the following two throws are very difficult, less-occurring throws to pay attention to more.
Pitcher
First baseman
Third basemen
Outfielders
This is simple; all throws from the outfield are less common and need practice, with hitting the cutoff man and throwing through the cutoff man, keys to these throws.
Finally, all baseball throws are important, but giving the above less common throws extra attention, helps players gain confidence with making them and help teams win games.
