A few good reasons to support my theory: Throwing a higher percentage of fastballs through youth will give more arm strength (for safety) and velocity long term. Youth will develop higher quality pitches as opposed to multiple mediocre pitches. Youth pitchers will actually learn to pitch and not just throw. They will be forced to use their fastball and change up efficiently. As leaders, if we are truly invested in development and the long term future of our pitchers then these should take priority. A curve ball or slider is easy to learn when the time is right. I have had multiple pitchers learn it the very first time we attempted to throw a new breaking ball.
Now, I will oppose myself and argue against my own advice using one main argument, kids will throw a curve ball despite coaches and parents and even myself advising against it. Most of the time they do it wrong and put themselves at huge risk of injury! So what do we do with that? As leaders we need to be realistic about this and educate and teach the kids properly. I have a short video describing how to throw a curve ball. Additionally, proper mechanics are imperative for arm safety with a curve ball. These are outlined in great detail in our courses. If you have not signed up for a course then you need to do this. You will change futures for the good. Best of all, the courses are money back guarantee. In addition to mechanics and safety protocols with a curve ball, pitchers need arm care, warmup, and recovery guidelines. These also are part of our courses.
So my advice now becomes this: teach your young pitchers how to safely throw a curve ball. We will guide you through this with Sportz University. Educate them and teach them safe and controlled use of a curve ball and we set them up for success, not failure. This in itself will be safer for all pitchers. ALSO, appeal to your pitchers to avoid using a curve ball for the benefits outlined above. This is our best option! If you are calling pitches as a coach, don’t call curve balls! We have to find the balance of what’s best for the kids and also the reality that they may not listen!
Leaders, lets be ahead of the game with curve balls. Don’t draw hard lines in the sand. Rather, cover all the bases! This will promote healthy learning and healthy arms!
