The basics of loading up as a submariner are pretty much exactly the same as every other delivery.
After months of fiddling around with how I wanted to throw, I settled for a knee high release point and stepped on a mound.Īs with any change, always start with flat-ground work when perfecting with your mechanics. It was at this exact moment that I knew I’d found my pitching delivery. The second time I threw, I dropped a sinker right onto my dads foot sending him to the ground. This was in an effort to emulate Bradford and Watanabe’s style and get a feel for the delivery. I found out about Chad Bradford, and Shunsuke Watanabe and I thought to myself “Wow, this is cool! I’m going to try this.” So the next time I had a catch, I dropped down really low and smashed my hand into the ground while throwing. So I looked up the five pitching styles and found out about submarine style. I wanted to be useful because going into college after never having played high school ball, I was already at a disadvantage. I mean, Side-arm is utilized a pretty fair amount of the time and I wanted to be different. However, always be coachable and open to suggestions.Īfter about a week of throwing completely sidearm, I began to get a little bored with it. By the way, if anyone reprimands you for throwing in a way that is comfortable and natural for your shoulder, tell them to bite you (respectfully of course).
So I decided to throw sidearm for a little while because even prior to hurting my arm it felt natural, even though I always got yelled at for doing it, which is why I, and a lot of other kids didn’t. However, ever since I hurt my shoulder in Little League I struggled to keep my arm in a comfortable three-quarters which was why I decided not to play in High School. Pitching just comes naturally to me and I love it.
About 3 years ago I decided to get back into baseball after I stopped playing just before the start of High School ball.
