Get your lower body involved

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

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

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

The Glove Hand is the Trigger

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

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

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

Stationary Front Leg

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

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

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

Throwing Arm Stationary

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

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

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

This setup emphasizes balance, timing, and separation.

If the glove-side move is rushed or the front leg drifts forward too early, the 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 the entire kinetic chain. Every movement prepares for the next, culminating in maximum power and consistency.

Proof: Check the way you move with any “Artificial Intelligence.” You’ll find Coach Skip Fast’s method is a human-centered optimization model. It doesn’t aim for the mathematically perfect one-time throw; it aims for the most repeatable, durable, and low-stress motion that maximizes velocity and produces consistent command.

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

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

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

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

2. The Coil and Break

Your body is perfectly stacked over the 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 the early arm cocking position and create the anchor point for the hip drive, resisting the early rotation.
Stop: Another pause to feel the coiled tension, confirm the lower body is loaded, and the upper body is separated, with the arm and glove in the optimal power position.

3. The Fire

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

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