The 10 Best Instagram Pages of All Time About Softball Pitching

There is a lot of softball pitching content on Instagram. Some of it is excellent. Some of it is recycled. And some of it is coaches trying to prove they are “right” while everyone else is “wrong.”

If you are serious about improving in the circle, you need to be intentional about who you follow.

Of course, our account is the best. We show you what actually happens inside a real pitching school. You see the methods we use, what real athletes look like as they develop over time, accomplishments from pitchers in our program, and practical drills and tips that we test across more than 20 classes per week. Everything we post is being used and refined in real time.

That said, I love studying what other pitching coaches are doing. I pay attention to trends, new drills, research, and evolving language in the pitching world. My goal is to learn from others while staying grounded in what we know truly develops pitchers long-term. I filter ideas through experience, results, and what works consistently inside our program.

Here are ten Instagram accounts I follow — and why they are worth your time.

1. @highlevelthrowinghlt – High Level Throwing

We use their plyo ball warm-ups and throwing progressions in our own program because they are effective for improving movement patterns and overall athleticism. Their content emphasizes sequencing, throwing efficiency, and power production. There is strong substance behind what they teach.

2. @btfastpitch – BreakThrew Fastpitch

This coach runs a successful pitching school in Iowa, and I partially modeled aspects of our school after her structure. She has developed highly successful pitchers and occasionally hosts camps at the Bandits stadium in Chicago. Her content features engaging drills, strong teaching presence, and a blend of instruction and athlete highlights.

3. @ritalynn.gilman – Rita Lynn Gilman

If you care about pitching tools and innovation, you should follow her. She creates some of the best pitching tools in the game — including the “ball on a stick” tool we use in our own training. I had the opportunity to hear her speak at an NFCA conference and learned an immense amount. She was one of the coaches emphasizing that the legs can contribute up to 10 miles per hour to a pitch when used correctly — which fundamentally shifts how pitchers think about power generation. She has trained outstanding athletes and backs her teaching with research and experience.

4. @powerhousemechanics – Powerhouse Mechanics

This account offers perspectives and teaching points that truly stand out. It is run by former men’s fastpitch players and focuses heavily on advanced spin work, velocity development, and sequencing. They are particularly strong at helping pitchers understand how mechanics should feel, which can be incredibly valuable for athletes ready to refine higher-level details.

5. @fastpitchpower – Fastpitch Power

One of the largest and most well-known pitching accounts out there. They frequently discuss internal rotation and a “natural” follow-through — concepts we teach as well, though sometimes with different terminology and sequencing. They have an extensive library of “how-to” videos addressing common pitching problems. Some of their content can be technical for beginner parents, but there are many valuable concepts that I incorporate and study.

6. @ogxsoftball – OGX Softball

A local company in Romeoville using the most modern technology that elite college programs rely on. OGX integrates advanced sports science into everyday training through biomechanics assessments, individualized programming, and real-time feedback. They measure and track progress over time, which removes guesswork from development. Their mechanical breakdown videos are excellent, though sometimes highly technical — and that’s where I see my role as helping translate that information into practical application.

7. @pitchingangel – Pitching Angel

Amanda Scarborough is an NCAA softball announcer, business owner, and pitching coach. Her content blends mechanical instruction with confidence-building and leadership. She brings a supportive tone and positive presence to the pitching space.

8. @softball_doctor – Jessica Bowden

Jessica blends pitching knowledge with corrective drills and body awareness. Her approach encourages athletes to think about the body as an integrated system rather than isolated parts, which is essential for long-term mechanical efficiency.

9. @dr3fastpitch – Coach D Rubin

Coach D combines instructional content with confidence-building and leadership development. His material resonates especially well with competitive high school pitchers who are balancing performance expectations and mental growth.

10. @seven7strong – Seven Strong Softball

This account reinforces the connection between mechanics and mindset. It consistently reminds pitchers that toughness, focus, and confidence are just as important as physical execution.

A Quick Note

If you follow enough pitching accounts, you will notice a common pattern: coaches often highlight something “other coaches teach incorrectly” and then present their own method as the correct solution. It builds authority and engagement. Sometimes it is helpful. Sometimes it is more about positioning than development.

Even when I don’t always agree with the tone, I make a conscious effort to set my ego aside and focus on what I can learn. If I were a parent, I wouldn’t get distracted by statements like, “I would never teach this drill — it’s terrible and anyone who does is wrong.” Instead of getting caught up in that kind of rhetoric, I would look past it and evaluate the substance of what’s being shared. When you filter out the noise, there is usually at least one valuable takeaway worth considering.

Your job as a pitcher — or as a parent — is not to pick sides.

Your job is to stay curious, stay coachable, apply what works, and filter out what doesn’t.

But the right accounts can sharpen your understanding and expose you to ideas that help you grow — and that is always worthwhile.
