Free Softball Practice Drills - Wall Pitching

Purpose:Softball pitching drill meant to develop speed without worrying about accuracy.

Procedure: The pitcher stand 10 to 15 feet from a wall and throws hard, focusing on mechanics and the feeling of throwing the ball hard. The repeated impact will soften a ball before long, so the pitcher should use the same ball. Don't use a rubber ball that lacks seams because the pitcher must be able to grip the ball properly. An advantage of this kind of practice is that pitchers can do it on their own at any time.
