Drill is set up for righthanders. For lefties, the foot work is opposite.
A pro drill to help you develop your power base and balance that I recommend for you to practice is the three hop and throw drill. It's done on flat ground and consists of starting in the pitcher's knee up, power position with the hand in the glove holding the ball with a fastball grip above the raised left knee. You maintain that position as you hop on your right foot (perpendicular) three successive times along an imaginary line toward your target, and throwing at the target after the 3rd and last hop. Try to maintain the same distance between hops (see if you handle a distance of 2ft hops to start out with).

Clint Eastwood's new baseball movie, 'Trouble With The Curve'
would hope they offered modern prescriptives to hitting the curve like TAT, Tapping, or even the Taiwan LL drill for overcoming the fear of being hit by a pitch. Guess we'll see Sept 28th when the movie is released. Should be interesting to see Eastwood in the role of a baseball scout.
