⚾The difference between the two motions is the sequence.
Your front foot hitting the ground with your glove hand in line with your target prompts you to use your throwing hand alone to deliver your pitch.
-
In the wrong motion, your front foot lands before your body is ready to throw.
The sequence stops, your throwing arm takes over, and your hips rotate too late to contribute to the pitch.
Now you’re trying to create command and velocity with your throwing arm alone.
-
In the right motion, your glove hand initiates the stride and starts the sequence.
Your lower body has time to engage, your body delivers the throw, and, instead of creating the motion, your throwing arm follows the motion.
⚾The difference between the two motions begins with your starting position.
- In the wrong motion, your starting position causes your front foot to land before your glove hand can initiate the throw. Your glove hand is carried by the motion rather than creating it.
- In the right motion, your starting position triggers your glove hand to move, your glove-hand movement
Your front knee behind your front shoulder forces your throwing arm to work by itself.
initiates your lower body, and your stride creates your throwing-arm sequence.
The result is simple…
- ❌ Arm-driven motion produces inconsistent location, inconsistent velocity, and constant compensation.
- ✅ Body-driven motion creates repeatable command, efficient velocity, and a baseball that arrives at the target with movement.
⚾Sequence Over Strength™
Your front foot shouldn’t start the throw. Your glove hand starts with the sequence and the throw.
When your glove hand crosses your body, your body can deliver the ball.
When the sequence is right, your body delivers the ball, and your arm simply finishes the job.
