How to Throw a Softball

Knowing how to properly throw is an essential skill all softball players must learn.

“Throwing is arguably the most important part of the game,” says former collegiate softball player Raianna Dobbs. “Having proper footwork and arm action can lead to stronger, more accurate throws.”

Throwing a softball begins with the proper footwork. Step toward your target while turning your hips and shoulders, transferring your weight forward. Get to a strong “T” position with the ball facing away from your body and rotate your core before delivering the ball.
