Throwing a softball.

A summary of the tips:

• A circular motion will aid your throw by providing more natural momentum than simply bringing your arm straight back and then forward.

• If you are playing outfield you will almost always be making a longer throw, so when you remove the ball from your glove, your arm and hand should drop down and by your back knee.
• If you are making a shorter throw in the infield for example, you may take the ball out of your glove and move it back and down slightly.

• When throwing you want your front shoulder to point in the direction of where you are throwing.
• Your back foot should be perpendicular to the target and your hips should be closed and also pointing in the direction of the target.
• Once you have everything lined up, you'll want to step toward the target with your lead foot, push off your back leg, and throw the ball using your entire body.
