I believe that one of the hardest things for a young pitcher to work on is the length of their stride.

Far too often, pitchers’ strides are too short – we always work with them on getting an extension

close to 100% of their body length. To do this we would have them lay down with their head on

the rubber and their feet toward the plate, and draw a line in their dirt at the bottom of their feet.

We would then have them work on striding that far – this can be tough, and sometimes

unattainable, but it is very much worth the effort in ensuring their long-term success!
