Daily Throwing Program
• 1 partner on left/right field foul line, 1 partner 30 feet away in left/right field, increasing distance as follows:
• 30 FEET: T-position: Turned with front (glove) shoulder facing partner. Rotate and throw, finishing over front side.
• 45 FEET: Rock & Fire: Turned with front (glove) shoulder facing partner. "Rock" weight onto back leg, and "fire" weight into the throw onto front leg.
• 60 FEET: Step & Throw: Start facing partner. Step into turn to get front (glove) shoulder to point to target, and throw.
• 90 FEET: Shuffle & Throw: Turned with front (glove) shoulder facing partner. Replace feet (or shuffle, or crow-hop) into throw.
• 120 FEET+: Long Toss: Face partner, move feet, replace feet into throw. Stay on top, keep the ball on a line when throwing it, allowing it to bounce to the partner instead of overthrowing trying to get it there in the air.
