Tips to Using a Softball Pitching Machine Safely

Coaching Tips to Using a Softball Pitching Machine Safely
By Guest Author Tyler A. Richardson

If you want to improve your skills as a batter, then making use of a softball pitching machine is a great way to do so. These tools are simply a must have for softball drills and can literally function as an extra coach that pitches balls to you. However, these machines should always be treated with special care so the following are tips to helping you use them safely.

Before getting started, it is absolutely essential that you wear protective gear in order to prevent the risk of any injuries which could occur. Be sure to wear a certified helmet that comes with straps to help ensure that it is firmly in place and won't fall off. Wearing such gear is important especially if you are dealing with a pitching machine that pitches in exceed of 50 miles an hour.

While these machines are great for getting batting practice on your own, it is still a good idea to have an adult around so they can help to supervise your actions. Should any injury occur, then you will be in a much better position to receive aid versus if you are alone. If no one is able to accompany you, then it is definitely a good idea to have a first aid kit with you just in case as you can never really be too safe.

When using a softball pitching machine, you might want to start off with a slower pitching speed so that you can get some practice before adjusting it to a faster speed. Not only will this help to improve your swing, but it's also a great way to warm up first. With that said, safety is really important so be sure to take the above tips seriously before using such a device.

Advice on Buying a Softball Mitt

Tips on Buying a Softball Mitt
By Guest Author Scott Hulet

Softball is an exciting sport that has been seeing an increase in popularity in recent years. Both fastpitch leagues as well as recreational slow pitch organizations have seen an influx of new players. While softball is a largely uncomplicated game that does not require a lot of expensive equipment, one piece of equipment that all players must have is their very own softball glove. Without a glove a player is going to have a difficult time trying to catch those hard line drives or scoop up those tricky ground balls with lots of backspin. A glove will also protect the hand from the sting that a sharply hit softball can cause.

So what does a new player look for when in the market for a softball glove? Softball mitts come in a number of varieties depending on the position being played. A first baseman, for instance, will use a slightly elongated mitt that will help to field throws from the infielders. A shortstop, on the other hand, will use a glove with a shallow pocket that will help them to make the quick catch and throw. It is absolutely important to look for a mitt that is geared to the position that you play. If you are a utility player who plays a number of positions then a utility glove will be the best choice. These gloves are average in length and width and will be suitable for just about anywhere on the diamond.

Another thing to consider is the fit of your new softball mitt. It is very important that the glove fits just right and it not too loose or too tight on your wrist. Many times a parent will buy their child a glove that is too large for them on the assumption that they will grow into it. This is not a great idea because it can lead to the development of improper fielding mechanics. For growing players, look for a glove with an adjustable wrist strap for an individual fit.

Softball is a great sport but it is important to always take the field with the right equipment if you want to perform at your best. If you are new to the game you may want to try on a few mitts at your local sporting goods store before deciding which one to buy. Keep in mind that the glove will soften once you break it in, so don't overlook a glove that fits well but seems a little bit stiff when you try to squeeze it.

Scott Hulet is an amateur softball coach who has been using softball mitts for over 20 years. Check out his insight into the world of slow pitch softball gloves at his website.
