Baseball Pitching Drill: The Hockey Puck Drill

In this creative baseball pitching drill, we are going to use a hockey puck!   You are probably wondering what do a hockey puck and a baseball have in common? A hockey puck weighs the same as a baseball, so the critical mass of a baseball is about the same as that of a hockey puck.   By having players on their knees, this baseball pitching drill is a low intensity release point drill that will help your pitchers throw strikes when they get to the mound.
