#1 - Don’t Be Predictable - Ask any hitter when they get 0-2 in the count if they think they are going to see a curveball in the next 2 pitches. They will all say yes. Good time to buzz a fastball on the outer half.

#2 - Throw It Early In The Count - Most pitcher wait until they are ahead to throw a curve. A first pitch curve over the plate has an .069 batting avg. in MLB

#3 - Perfect Or In The Dirt With 2 Strikes - I tell my pitchers ll the time…be perfect or in the dirt. A perfect pitch will get you results….a dirt mistake will get you maybe 1 out of 10 swing and misses and no home runs….the mistake over the plate will be very different

#4 - Know Your Personality - Don’t throw a loopy curve if you are a power pitcher…don’t throw a hard curve if you are a finesse pitcher

#5 - Never Shut It Down - Too many times pitchers shut down a pitch if it is not working. Bad move. Never shut it down. Take your between inning warm up to throw it. You may catch the feel again. By the way the opposing coach will always pick up when you have shut down a pitch….throwing a bad one (in the dirt) is better then shutting it down.
