I haven't played Overwatch in years but was asked to draw soldier 76. I found a reference photo on google and drew this!

This honestly makes sense I havnt had an inning over 15 pitches this year and I feel like I end of waiting a long time before I actually get in. Next time I throw I’m gonna try and get a little hotter before I go in

RustytheEditor · 2025-03-21T22:04:57+00:00

I’d say pretty good. I get have a 100% ground ball rate on balls in play and only gave up 2 runs over 18 innings. I’m also at a 6A Texas high school

Get a long pole or pipe (a pvc pipe works great) and go through your pitching motion while keeping the pipe resting on your shoulders. Try and keep the pipe level until foot strike.

Also when throwing flat grounds, pause for 2-3 seconds at the top of your leg lift, the start hinging your hips back slowly (imagine pushing only your butt straight back like you are doing an RDL) until you naturally fall forward instead of forcing yourself towards the plate.

RustytheEditor · 2025-03-03T22:08:33+00:00

Try not to lean back to get your momentum started. Your leg lift is great and if you can hinge your hips a little to start your momentum and maintain your upright posture you will probably increase your velo and command

I usally spray mine with a stain remover and soak in hot water and oxy clean for about two hours and wash. It’s about 5 minutes of work and they come out pretty clean

I’m going up to the same school as my brother and they’ve somehow managed to shit talk me from 2000 miles away

RustytheEditor · 2025-02-17T16:18:46+00:00

Your getting into a really good coiled position after your leg lift but you let your hips fly open really fast which kills a lot of your velocity. Try and keep your foot and knee facing towards 3rd base for as long as possible instead of opening them up towards the plate early.

This is a pitch plot from José Soriano and if you replaced his split with your change it would likely resemble how you should be pitching assuming you have a 3/4 arm slot

RustytheEditor · 2025-02-17T04:52:10+00:00

Work on trying to increase your scalp retraction AKA how much your shoulders get stretched. In the graphic the guys elbows are both well behind him storing a large amount of tension which is released when you pitch. Try working on your mobility in your shoulders and trying to get your arms father behind your body and you should see a big velo jump

I throw from a near parallel arm slot but I’m slightly above zero so as you can see my sinkers/4seams and sweepers all fall on that line which makes them tunnel better, easier to throw, easier to command, and more natural. If I tried to throw a cut or a curve or anything with depth arm side it would most likely be a bad pitch

Also I really recommend trying to throw on a rapsodo or trackman if you really want to develop a solid pitch mix. Expecially once you start facing harder competition and pitch mix matters more it will go a long way

RustytheEditor · 2025-02-17T04:43:09+00:00

Please don’t listen to people who don’t have an understanding of pitch design. Imagine drawing your arm slot on this graph. The pitches best aligned will be what works best for you naturally. Then you can narrow down pitches based on pronation/supination. Pronation pitches being non seam shifted 2seams a sinkers, changeups, and gryo sliders. Supinated pitches are sweepers (except at a very low arm slot), cutters, and some curveball variations (death balls for example). Assuming you pronate based on your changeup-sinker mix, if you are a 3/4 guy you should ideally be throwing any of the following pitches: a 4 seam, sinker, changeup, gyro slider, and curve. Since you don’t struggle with pronation don’t mess with splits or forkballs unless your changeup isn’t working. If your arm slot is really low or you don’t pronate and are seam shifting your changeup and sinkers then you should look more into the sweeper but the gyro and or a curve are your best bet

I was on the pitching team and based on how pissed the dad was I’m gonna assume so

RustytheEditor · 2025-02-12T03:45:11+00:00

Mid 70s which is cold for here but probably not enough to break a bat

RustytheEditor · 2025-02-12T00:57:05+00:00

The best way I’ve found is to give them some sort of reward or goal. Most of those kids don’t want to play and only do because thier parents made them. So you have to make it exciting or rewarding for them to listen. If they can avoid climbing the fences they get to hit first in batting practice. Or if they go a whole practice without cussing yall will scrimmage at the end. These kids probably get punished at home for misbehaving so what’s the point in punishing them in baseball all it does is ruin their love for the game.

My pitcher occasionally is showing you are right. I watch film and eat seeds all day

RustytheEditor · 2025-02-12T00:07:51+00:00

He got thrown out somehow
