In this video, Coach Sinacori explains and demonstrates some important routines pitchers can use between starts to get ready for a game. Routines include bullpen, short-box, long-toss, pre-game, and, often overlooked, the between innings routine. Each routineis carefully taught using diagrams of pitch counts, which pitches to throw in a certain routine and mechanics are stressed. Throughout the video, Sinacori discusses the significance of mound presence (the amount of control the pitcher has while on the mound). He reveals several examples of good mound presence you can use during a game. This tape is a comprehensive collection of all the vital components needed to be a confident and prepared pitcher at any level!
