Get your lower body involved

In professional coaching, the goal is to have the hips initiate rotation before the front foot hits the ground.

For over 20 years, Coach Skip Fast’s online course has provided the keys that align perfectly with a high-efficiency pitching delivery.

In high-level pitching, one key objective is for your hips to begin rotation before your front foot lands.

At the start of your stride, just before your kinetic chain begins, maintaining control and sequence is critical.
This phase determines how effectively you can separate your lower body’s drive from your upper body’s rotation, maximizing both torque and velocity.
The moment just before “launch” — when your lower body is fully loaded but not yet driving — represents your point of maximum potential energy storage.

Your Glove Hand is the Trigger

Your glove hand serves as the timing mechanism for hip rotation.

When your glove side initiates movement, your hips fire slightly before your front foot lands.
This action syncs your upper and lower body, ensuring an efficient kinetic sequence.
Proper glove-hand timing allows your hips to open without forcing the torso to rotate prematurely.

Your glove side “sets the table” — its rhythm controls the pace of the delivery. Too early, and you lose torque; too late, and your hips stall.

Your Stationary Front Leg

Your stationary front leg lift acts as your anchor point, allowing energy generated from your glove sweep and weight shift to be stored rather than prematurely released.

Your leg remains firm and balanced as your hips load.
Your legs create a coiled, loaded position from which your lower body unwinds explosively into rotation.
Movement feels controlled, with tension maintained through your hip flexor and oblique chain.

“Hold the coil — don’t drift.” Your front leg stays quiet until your hips commit.

Your Throwing Arm Stationary

Keeping your throwing arm quiet and stable prevents early movement that leaks stored energy.

Your arm remains relaxed and stationary as your lower body begins its motion.
Your stillness allows your throwing arm to serve as your final link in your kinetic chain, maximizing velocity and consistency.
Timing is everything — your arm follows your body, not the other way around.

“The arm rides the wave.” Let your body create energy; your arm simply transfers it.

Your setup emphasizes balance, timing, and separation.

If your glove-side move is rushed or your front leg drifts forward too early, your hips lose their ability to generate torque efficiently, reducing both power and command.

Coach Skip Fast’s online course executes these three motions flawlessly.

You’re setting yourself up for an optimal energy transfer through your entire kinetic chain. Every movement prepares for your next, culminating in maximum power and consistency.

Your pitch motion is hidden within your body.

You move the right way and you get the right result.

The Central Role of the Glove Hand

Your core concept —that the glove side is the critical trigger—is your missing link.

By keeping that front side closed and your glove hand near your front hip for as long as possible, you create a powerful tension – your hips load up against that closed front shoulder, like twisting a rubber band.
- Your glove hand acts as the release valve, stopping your forward momentum and forcing your body to rotate violently around that anchor, immediately cueing hip rotation and unlocking the massive energy stored in your core. Hip rotation precedes shoulder rotation to maximize your whip effect.
Your results beautifully tie your mechanics directly to the outcomes.
- Proper hip/trunk rotation and timing ensure maximum energy transfer from your lower body to the ball.
- Your arm acts as a passive whip rather than a force generator, reducing strain on your elbow and shoulder.
- A consistent, repeatable, and balanced delivery creates a stable platform for your arm to release the ball at the same point every time.

Your delivery system allows you to achieve the most velocity with the least effort and arm wear.

You turn pitching from an act of throwing into an act of controlled rotation and energy transfer.

With coach Skip’s instruction, everyone gets a drill to tell you whether your lower body is involved

1. The Setup

You establish a narrow, athletic, and slightly closed base.
By implying your front foot is slightly angled and your back leg is ready to push, your loaded position is ready to move forward.
Your glove hand is your initial “stay closed” cue.
Stop: An important pause to feel and confirm your athletic balance and loaded tension.

2. The Coil and Break

Your body is perfectly stacked over your pivot foot, maximizing balance and preventing lateral drift.
Your front heel lines up with your back toes, and your front toe points toward the target.
You establish your early arm cocking position and create your anchor point for your hip drive, resisting your early rotation.
Stop: Another pause to feel your coiled tension, confirm your lower body is loaded, and your upper body is separated, with the arm and glove in the optimal power position.

3. The Fire

You initiate hip and trunk rotation, setting your kinetic chain’s whip-like action toward the plate.

Your drill sequence is a sophisticated way to engrain sequential movement and front-side control—your true keys to velocity, command, and durability.
