Sun Pro Baseball Pitching

At the PRO level, pitchers focus on five key goals: knowing their pitches and how each one works, refining stride and direction for consistency, commanding both the fastball and change-up, improving arm action for control and deception, and learning the slide step to manage the running game.

This stage is about taking the foundation of accuracy and mechanics and beginning to pitch with intent. Athletes learn not just to throw strikes, but to understand how their pitches move and how to use them in different situations. By mastering command, direction, and timing, pitchers build the confidence to attack hitters, control the tempo, and prepare for the more advanced demands of the game at the All-Star level.
