In 1887, George Hancock and his baseball players were resting because of the winter outside. To keep them in shape, Mr. Hancock thinks of a way on how are they practice baseball. There, the first softball was played and was initially named as “indoor baseball.” Decade passed, more terms were tagged to this game but it gained popularity among the people in our country. Today, everybody loves softball. This is the game that always unites people, be it with the boys or girls, whites or blacks.

Just like any other sports, softball has many skills to learn for you to be able to play it well. It is a must that one should really know some of those facts. Like batting, fielding, catching, running and pitching. These are some of the basics that anyone who is interested in playing softball, they should try first to master each skill.

Pitching will be the concentration of this article because this is the one that starts the ball flying. In layman’s term, pitching also means throwing. But throwing the softball is not just mere skill in this game. One should master the art of pitching so that you may provide the game with more excitement and fun.
Learning how to do it is quite easy; you just have to follow the tips below. Put in mind that once you are already playing the game; always remember the following so that you would be able to pitch the ball correctly.

1.    Make sure that your pitching arm pass overhead (just like the 12 o’clock position) while your weight is on the drive leg.

2.    Swing you arms up as your body moves along with it.
3.    Land with your stride leg pointed at about 30 to 45 degrees to maintain your balance.

4.    Release the ball once it is beside your hip.

5.    Push your drive leg off the pitching rubber to give you more power.
Once you have tried doing those things, you will end up successfully in pitching the ball to the batter. But, there are also some nonsense actions that you should avoid while pitching.  

1.    Do not let your balance arm swing off to the side because this will diminish your pitching power as you throw the ball. As you bring your arms up, your pitching arm should make a 360-degree rotation while your balance arm will go up for 90 degrees.

2.    As you raise up your hand, just stand straight. Do not lean over for this will cause you to let the ball go late.

3.    If you do not want to have any ankle, knee or hip injury, do not land on the side ways of your stride leg.

4.    The ball should be released behind the shoulders. Do not release the ball in front of your body foe you can’t pitch it to your maximum power.

Pitching could be as easy as that, but it plays an important role in playing the softball. Its crucial role would determine if you will win the game or not!
