5 (what you’re doing today)=
100% IMPROVEMENT IN PITCH LOCATION
100% improvement is unavoidable!
-
The energy from your lower body through your core and into your throwing arm gets approximately 10-14 out of 20 pitches to travel to your target.
-
With what you do right now, approximately 4-6 out of 20 pitches finish in your Catcher’s glove without the glove moving.
The difference between the motion I coach, and the motion others teach is your Lower Body involvement.
- I coach a pitcher to keep their front leg toward their body,
- Their glove arm to swing across their body, and
- The two factors result in your lower body sending pitches directly to their target with uncanny regularity.
It’s simple to see whether your lower body works to get your ball to your target.
You don’t use your lower body when …
- Your glove arm finishes under your armpit.
- Your front foot hits the ground before you release the ball.
- Your throwing arm goes behind your body.
Your velocity improves.
- Your lower body drives more energy into your throwing arm,
- The speed within your throwing arm increases, and
- Your velocity gets much better.
