Tuesday Rookie Baseball Pitching

At the ROOKIE level, pitchers focus on five key goals: throwing with accuracy, developing repeatable mechanics, commanding the four-seam fastball, getting the arm back on time, and starting consistently on every pitch.

This level is about learning the building blocks—placing the baseball at different distances, keeping a steady delivery, and finding a reliable fastball they can throw for strikes. These fundamentals give young pitchers confidence and teach them how to control both their body and the baseball. By mastering accuracy, mechanics, and consistency now, players set the foundation for knowing their pitches, executing with intent, and ultimately competing at higher levels with the mindset and skills to grow.
