Bucket Drill

Purpose:
Learn how to brace up over front leg once pitch is made, to encourage a correct follow through.

Setup:
Pitchers pair up and kneel on their posting leg (right knee for right-handers, left knee for left handers) while placing their kneeling foot on an upside-down 10 gallon bucket.

How to perform drill:
Players get on one knee about 45 to 55 feet from each other, kneeling foot on upside-down 10-gallon bucket. The pitcher with the ball will rotate his shoulder toward his throwing partner, bring his arm back with his hand on top of the baseball, use a good circular arm motion, and throw the ball, and popping up and over the bent stride leg, making sure the pitcher bends his elbow and finishes throwing elbow past the opposite knee.
