Why Do You Miss Your Target?

Your baseball doesn’t miss the target by accident.

Your ball misses because your body moves out of sequence.

Every missed target starts with a breakdown that forces your throwing arm to compensate.

These are four common reasons you miss your target.

Your Front Knee Begins Behind Your Front Hip

With your front knee behind your front hip, your delivery begins from an unbalanced position.

Instead of preparing your body to move toward the target, your lower body starts from a position that delays proper sequencing and forces compensation later in the delivery.

Your Front Leg Actively Strides. 

Your glove hand and hips, not your front leg, should begin your motion.

When you reach your front leg, your stride leads instead of your lower body, causing your timing and direction to break down.

Your Glove Hand Ends Up Under Your Armpit

Your glove hand isn’t just along for the ride. Your glove hand begins the sequence.

When it collapses under your armpit, it never creates the movement needed to activate your hips and guide your body toward the target.

You Throw the Ball After Your Front Foot Lands

Your front foot shouldn’t tell your body when to throw. By the time your front foot lands, your sequence should already be delivering the baseball.

When foot strike becomes the signal to throw, your arm takes over, velocity is forced, and command becomes inconsistent.

The Solution

In a BOOK, REMOTE INSTRUCTION, or IN-PERSON SESSIONS, Coach Skip teaches “Sequence Over Strength™”.

Starting Position → Glove Hand → Hips → Front Leg → Throwing Arm

When each movement prepares the next, your lower body leads, your throwing arm delivers the baseball instead of forcing it, and your delivery becomes more repeatable.

Every missed target has a cause.

Identify the movement causing the breakdown, correct the sequence, and let your body throw the baseball one movement at a time.

You’ll find this in “Sequence Over Strength™”!
