Watanabe has an even lower release point than the typical submarine pitcher, dropping his pivot knee so low that it scrapes the ground. Japanese pitcher Shunsuke Watanabe is known as "Mr. Past major league submariners include Carl Mays, Ted Abernathy, Elden Auker, Chad Bradford, Mark Eichhorn, Gene Garber, Kent Tekulve, Todd Frohwirth, and Dan Quisenberry. Kent Tekulve and Gene Garber, two former submarine pitchers, were among the most durable pitchers in baseball history with 1,944 appearances between the two. Though the bending motion required to pitch effectively as a submariner means that submariners may be more at risk of developing back problems, it is commonly thought that the submarine motion is less injurious to the elbow and shoulder. It is not typically a natural style of throwing-it is often a learned style-and because the vast majority of pitchers use an overarm motion, most young pitchers are encouraged to throw overhand. The rarity of submarine pitchers is almost certainly attributable to its unusual technique.
Advanced Increase the throwing distance to further challenge children who have had more experience with throwing.Have them aim for a target or throw to a partner. Intermediate Encourage accuracy when throwing the ball. This is because the submariner's spin is not perfectly level the ball rotates forward and toward the pitching arm side, jamming same-sided hitters at the last moment, even as the ball drops rapidly through the zone. Beginners Practice the underhand and overhand throwing action many times without a ball first.Then attempt the throws with a ball. Submarine pitches are often the toughest for same-side batters to hit (i.e., a right-handed submarine pitcher is the more difficult for a right-handed batter to hit, and likewise for left-handed pitchers and batters). The sinking motion of the submariner's fastball is enhanced by forward rotation, in contrast with the overhand pitcher's hopping backspin. Gravity plays a significant role, for the submariner's ball must be thrown considerably above the strike zone, after which it drops rapidly back through. The "upside down" release of the submariner causes balls to move differently from pitches generated by other arm slots. This is in stark contrast to the underhand softball pitch in which the torso remains upright, the shoulders are level, and the hips do not rotate. In baseball, a submarine is a pitch in which the ball is released often just above the ground, but not underhanded, with the torso bent at a right angle, and shoulders tilted so severely that they rotate around a nearly horizontal axis. 153 Throwing Underhand Premium High Res Photos Browse 153 throwing underhand photos and images available, or start a new search to explore more photos and images.
