pitching drills
Mound training exercises
Pitching drills are practice exercises designed to improve a baseball or softball pitcher's mechanics, accuracy, velocity, or endurance.
They range from basic routines like long toss and bullpen sessions to targeted work on specific pitches or release points: The coach ran the team through pitching drills before the scrimmage.
Youth programs emphasize drills that build proper form without overtaxing young arms.
