“Contact me if you can’t get your Lower Body to AUTOMATICALLY fire your throwing arm !” – Coach Skip Fast, 27 Year Pitching Coach.
It’s time to flip the script!!!
speed your journey to Unmatched Pitching Accuracy!
Your glove hand leads your lower body (or hip rotation) into a foot strike, and your throwing hand delivers the ball with power, accuracy, and control advantage.
A well-timed and powerful lower body is the cornerstone of effective pitching. When your lower body rotates smoothly and forcefully, it sets the stage for a powerful and accurate pitch. A strong lower body rotation generates significant power, transferring to your upper body and the ball. A coordinated lower body rotation helps establish a consistent release point, improving accuracy and control. Proper lower body rotation distributes the stress of pitching across your entire body, reducing the risk of injuries.
A strong core is essential for generating power and maintaining balance. Strong legs provide the foundation for a powerful lower body rotation, and good lower body flexibility allows for a more excellent range of motion. The more you practice proper lower body rotation, the more natural it will become. By following the guidance in “Get the Lower Body Involved,” you significantly improve your pitching performance and consistently hit your target.
Your Lower Body is square to the target.
You deliver your pitch.
The mistake you make!
When the lower body is not involved, the hips rotate after the foot strikes, and the upper body initiates the throwing motion. The timing of the foot strike and subsequent hip rotation significantly impacts the pitch’s accuracy and velocity.
Instead of your lower body causing your stride, which initiates your throwing action, you hit your target when your hips turn and come close to your throwing action.
Your Upper Body rotates, and you deliver the ball.
Your Lower Body rotates.
Break free from the old-school mentality and focus on developing actual command and durability!
