__ How to Throw a Perfect Pitch __ By Josh Hofmann “Smack,” the pitch hits the catcher’s mitt. Follow these steps to become a great pitcher. First, you put the ball in your leather glove and position both of your feet diagonal on the pitcher’s mound. Second, you slide your foot back into the bumpy dirt or the green grass. Next, you pull your knee up about as high as your chest. Then, you make sure the ball in your pitching hand drops down past your pocket. The next step is to bring the ball strait backwards until your arm forms an “L” shape. During this step, you need to make sure the ball faces back towards the dusty second base. Then, you explode forward with your leg and chuck the ball toward the catcher. Finally, you follow through with your arm all the way across your body and pretend as if you are grabbing a dollar bill that is taped to your opposite knee. At the same time, your leg whips around and lands straight in front of your body so that your feet land parallel to each other. As soon as you do all of these steps, the ball will zip right to the catcher’s mitt for a perfect strike!
