Pitching
Tips,
from Beth Keylon-Randolph...
POSITIVE
THOUGHTS OF A TOP PITCHER:
- I am not intimidated
by any hitter.
- I am determined to
dominate this hitter, this game.
- I will throw each
pitch to the very best of my ability.
- I am going to keep
the batter off guard by throwing her what she least expects.
- The batter doesn’t
have a chance to drive the ball off me.
- If a batter beats me
once, she will not get the same chance again.
- I will learn from my
mistakes and not make the same mistake twice.
- I will get the
batter to swing at bad pitches by staying confident and consistent.
- I am going to use my
best pitch TODAY for my strike pitch.
- I will pitch to the
umpire’s strike zone.
- I will study, watch
and talk with other pitchers.
- If I am not playing
in the game, I will chart and study the hitters.
- I will accept
criticism as a positive aspect, as a way of improving my overall game.
- I will trust my
catcher and work with her to get each batter.
- I will block out the
crowd and focus all my attention on pitching and playing the game.
- I will be up for
every team and not take any team lightly.
- I will do what is
best for my team and lead by example.
