The Dangers Of A Slider

E-mail Print PDF
The slider is one of the most dangerous pitches in baseball.  Nasty, dirty, hard...its one of my favorite pitches to throw, heck my car's license plate reads "SLIDPCE".  So why don't I teach it on my website?

Simple.  The slider is one of the most dangerous pitches...for the arm.

The slider is thrown just as hard as a fastball, but at the last moment, the index and middle finger "cut" across the front of the baseball, forcing a spin that induces the ball to slide hard down and away from their throwing hand side.

Dear Coach Corral,

After trying unsuccessfully to teach my six year old to pivot on his back foot when batting, we watched your video “squishing the bug”. Within a few swings after watching your video, his swing power dramatically improved to the point that I had to get a glove to continue practicing with him. Thanks!!!

Hey I just wanted to email you a BIG THANK YOU!  Corey is playing so much better this season.  He is hitting the ball (only 2 hits thus far), putting it in play, and no strike outs (only player on the team not to).  He is really doing well at 1st, who would of known.

Just wanted to let you know that John told me he saw a HUGE improvement in Matthew's throwing at his juniors game last night, and Matthew told us about your tip on his footwork.  Thanks.
