Softball Pitching Drills – The Snap Drill

Purpose:  To isolate the snap and your grip when practicing advanced pitches for softball pitching.

Procedure: Stand sideways, as if you have already taken your stride, about ten feet from a partner. Throw your pitch without the windup and with just a slight backswing, working on getting most of your power from your wrist snap. Work on all the pitches this way until you feel comfortable with the different releases.
