How to Throw a Softball

Video Transcript

"My name is Juan Carlos with Expert Village, and today we're going to be talking about softball for beginners. In this segment, we're going to teach you how to develop a quick release in your throwing. Normally, the biggest mistakes in your throwing, especially in an in field perspective, because they have to learn how to throw the ball quickly, is pointing the glove and taking the while by extending the arm and coming all the way through like so. As both of the players are extending their arms and throwing all the way through, the release is very, very slow. Watch as they make the adjustment. Now as they bring both hands up here and come through with the body and the shoulder pointing towards the individual. This throw is a much more effective throw than as if you were pointing the glove and extension of the arms. You easily earn about half a second time on getting rid of the ball."
