The best way to fix your curveball feel is to bounce it on purpose.
If you keep pulling your curveball to the glove side or leaving it high arm side, this drill is for you.
Stand across from a partner and try to bounce the ball halfway to him. Long hop, no hop. Watch the ball when it hits the ground.
You want it to kick straight to your partner. That only happens with true 12-6 spin.
To get that spin, your hand has to get way out in front and finish the pitch, with your middle finger pulling down on the ball. Your middle finger is what dictates the spin.
If the ball kicks sideways when it lands, you've got side spin. Throw a sweeper and bounce it the same way and you'll see it. It travels one way and kicks back the other when it hits the ground. That's not what you want on your curveball.
The ground gives you instant feedback. Keep throwing until every bounce kicks straight to your partner.

Great angle here on what could be the Play of the Year.
Also looks awfully familiar to the play in Friday Night Lights (Saracen to Riggins to Smash).
What a way to win for No. 20 West Deptford.
@SportsCenter insane high school football play to take lead with seconds left. #1 West Deptford vs. #5 Wall Township. South Jersey Group 2 Semi Final.

Most high school outfield practices are incredibly boring.
Players stand around in left field for 20 minutes just to catch two routine fly balls hit directly at them. It is a complete waste of practice time.
Here is the exact 12-Minute Rapid Outfield Fungo Routine.

5 drills to perfect your load and build power through separation.
1. Hands in front: bring them back, load and go.
2. Step backs: feet together, hands together, even with the tee. Step back, load, explode. All gather and load.
3. Big Papi drill: feel the stretch, feel the shirt crinkle, and fire.
4. Triple load drill: load and stride once, load and stride twice, load and stride three times, then explode.
5. Stride, pause and separate: stride out, hands go back as you stride, get to a toe, freeze, then explode.

Arm Care is NOT just for Pitch Day!
Before Throwing ➡️ Pre Throw Activation
High Workload Throwing Day ➡️ Full Armor
Low Workload Throwing Day ➡️ Recovery/Mobility

🚨 Andy Pettitte's Pickoff Move
• Mimic the tempo & movement of your delivery
• Don't try and "trick" the runner - less is more
⭐️ Mental cue is "Throw the ball home" then simply put your foot down at 45 degrees & throw over.
Cue the: “But it’s a balk!” crowd…

Thank you to @News12NJ for shining a spotlight on this issue and interviewing me for this story. Amateur sports officials being reclassified as employees in NJ will forever damage amateur athletics in our State.
