Former Team U.S.A. pitcher Bill Hillhouse lets us have an inside look on one of his pitching lessons. This video is put together in clips. The first few clips are of the initial motion before the pitch, a few drills to improve wrist snap and how a pitcher should hold the ball. Continuing on Bill gives a helpful hint on how to control ball spin on a pitch as well as how to keep a pitcher's arm rotation as close to the body as possible as to avoid injuries. Bill then begins a new lesson and always makes sure to start with the "k" drill. With this drill Bill notices the mistakes that are to be corrected for that pitcher and then demonstrates drills to improve on those fundamentals.
