This drill improves a pitcher's arm rotation speed, leading to more powerful throws and controlled speed. To do this drill, the pitcher's feet should be wider than shoulder width and in a stride position, as if she has taken a small stride.

She will make three fast circles with her pitching arm, releasing the ball on the third rotation. The shoulder should stay relaxed but controlled. The purpose of this drill is to increase arm rotation speed and help pitchers release the ball with more momentum.

To help aim the ball, the pitcher should have her glove hand at shoulder height and facing the catcher, where she wants to throw the ball. After working on three rotations before a pitch, reduce it to two rotations before the pitch and finally, one rotation and the pitch.

If players feel any pain during this drill,  they should stop immediately. The shoulder must be relaxed enough that it can rotate quickly without pain, but players hould
never push through shoulder pain.
