The Body is behind the Pitch
Before you begin the actual pitching motion, the upper body leans forward with the weight transferring from the back heel to the ball of the front foot. This transfer of weight provides additional power in the pitch by aligning the upper body with the intended flight of the ball, directly toward the batter

The Fastpitch softball pitching form is one of the most difficult movements for the body to learn. It is a very complex motion that requires years of study and practice to perfect. I started pitching my sophomore year in high school, but it took me three years of throwing year-round to truly grasp an understanding of the motion.

The bunt is one of the most important plays in softball. Without a bunting game the team cannot put pressure on the defense; keep the defense honest; avoid a double play; aid the running game or add variety to the offensive strategy.
