Explosive Softball Drill with the Vertimax V8 EX

This is a drill that I have my softball pitchers incorporate into their routine once they have established a strong foundation of muscular strength. Te emphasis her is to have the athlete focus on exploding straight ahead with their drove leg as if pitching. I also have ten repeat the drill on the opposite side to promote symmetry. Once they complete this, we turn sideways so they explode laterally, since the softball pitching motion includes a rotational aspect as pitchers deliver the ball toward home plate.
