does anyone know of any baseball pitching exercises that i could do at home without getting out of the house?
i can only get out of the house sometimes, so good answers would really help.
Good goal. The exercise I am about to show you is also going to improve your accuracy.
Depending on your arm strength, I would get a reasonably heavy weighted baseball. Use the baseball in the following exercises. You will also need a medicine ball.
1. Put your arm up three-five inches away from a wall. Bounce the weighted baseball against the wall and catch it. You should be getting tired by the 15-20th one. If not, your ball is either too light or too heavy.
2. Grip the medicine ball in one hand. Bring it up over your head and transfer the ball to the other hand. Repeat this process until your arm is tired.
3. Throw the medicine ball in a baseketball-type fashion to a another person. Make sure you are using your legs too. You do not want to damage your arm because you are just using your arms.
4. After you complete these exercises and rest, throw 5-10 pitches at full speed (try your best in a house). You will not see immediate improvement but eventually, you will. A study in Australia found that worked with excercises like these saw an increase in velocity within six weeks.
Use these excercises along with your normal workout. Good Luck.
