Summary: Excellent Baseball Pitching Info!
Review: More of a pitching drill video, "Pitching Drills & Techniques" is long on the drills and a little short on the techniques. However, this valuable tool for 7-12 year olds is a "must have" item for Little League parents and coaches who have kids that aspire to pitch and pitch well. The producer of this video takes the approach that there are way too many theories on pitching, especially for young players, and that you are better off teaching them the basic fundamentals and instill different drills to make players aware of the different parts of their body that make up the pitching motion. Some advanced drills like the "Concentration Drill" with one lefty and one righty batter standing in the batter's box together, is a sight to behold. Tried it already and can see the potential positive results. The program goes at a terrific pace and there is no boring parts to it. Pitching analysis is addressed and done so in a clear consise manner. I would have liked to see a bit more with this. The producer also gives some very valuable tips toward the end about how to recognize if your pitcher is tired plus other bonuses. He is right on the money when he states: "With Pitching, It Is Better To Have Youth Players Master 4 or 5 Techniques Than Be Confused By 20".
Words most leagues and parents should live by. All in all this is a real winner and leagues should make this part of their library.

Review: This guy seems to get it right. Most pitching pitching videos
I've seen have way too much talking and complicate an already complicated subject. Heck, my son is 9 and I don't think he'll sign with the Padres. So I'm not interested in a lot of the technical jargon. This video has relative easy, simple pitching drills for players ages 8-12. Most of the pitching drills can be used for older players with some adjustmnts. He gives the drills names such as , "Multiple Home Plate Drill", "Knee Drill" and more. Paying close attention to the narrator, there are excellent subtle hints ("practice pitching against a wall with your eyes closed") that youth coaches and parents will find useful. He goes into a pitching anyalsis which is very good but could have used some more info. My son and I have watched this a few times and it is enjoyable. We went outside to do some of these drills and look forward to trying them with the team. The written hints at the end of the video should be mounted on every Little League dugout in America.
