Drbaseball answered Friday April 20 2007, 12:36 pm: ok basically for warm-ups just lightly throw the ball like you would pitch, but not full speed, also to get your arm in to shape just go out and start maybe throwing 10 full-speed pitches one day, then build up throwing more and more pitches as the days go by and by the time you need to pitch again your arm should be back to full strength. For aim i no this may sound funny, but if you happen to have a cat and you have a litter box, and it comes in a plastic container, use it, or if not find a medium size plastic container of some sorts and try to hit it each time you pitch, this helps to save you money. and without the ball, you can always stand next to a wall or fence and practice your mechanics in order to make sure you keep a mechanically sound windup.

1. put your arm across your body and put your other arm under it and well pull it ( you tend to do this stretch b4 a softball practice;game)
2. put your Arms behind you and stretch up
LaceyIsPrettyBomb answered Sunday March 25 2007, 7:29 pm: i pitch also, so im trying to get my arm back in shape too. throwing wont completly get your arm back in shape, but it helps a lot. i do a lot of arm circles and butterflies, and it really helps. stretch your arm out a lot and do arm circles and bitterflies, and it should deffinetly help. try not to jump right into pitching, do warm ups for like a week, and then slowly start pitching so you dont strain your arm. i throw to my dog every day, which helps also. by throwing everyday, you'll increase your speed, strength, and distance. ive been doing a combination of these for like 2 weeks, and ive seen a lot of improvement. to improve my aim, i use a pitching net. some of them are pretty expensive, but sicks sporting goods has some cheap ones and they deffinetly help.
