Stop Guessing Why Your Pitcher Misses the Target.
You don’t need a stronger arm. You need a better sequence.
Every missed target starts with a movement breakdown, not an arm problem.
Coach Skip tells you why you are missing the target simply by watching a video.
The movement causing the problem begins long before the baseball leaves your hand.
Keep watching …
Coach Skip shows you exactly what to look for and how Sequence Over Strength™ builds a more repeatable delivery.
Watch this video.
Notice where the glove hand is.
- The glove hand never moves across the body to trigger the hips.
- Your front foot lands before the lower body has delivered the motion.
At this point, the throwing arm has no choice but to compensate.
- The arm is reacting to your foot plant.
This is why you miss your target.
- Every missed target starts with a breakdown.
- When you fix the sequence, the body delivers the baseball, the throwing arm follows naturally, and command becomes repeatable.
That’s the difference with Sequence Over Strength™.
Most coaches start by trying to fix the arm.
Coach Skip fixes the movement that’s forcing the arm to compensate.
- Everything begins with the starting position. If you’re out of position at the start, the rest of the delivery is built on compensation.
- Next comes the glove hand. The glove hand initiates the sequence, triggers the hips, and creates direction toward the target.
- As the glove hand leads, the hips begin to rotate, and the lower body creates the power.
- The sequence drives the stride. Your front foot lands because your body delivers it there, not because the pitcher reaches for the target.
- Finally, your body delivers the arm into a repeatable release position. The arm isn’t searching for the target; the sequence that brought it there.
That’s why Coach Skip doesn’t coach symptoms.
Coach Skip coaches the movement that caused them.
Sequence Over Strength™ isn’t about making your arm work harder. Sequence Over Strength™ is about teaching your body to throw the baseball in the right order.
Out of Your Starting Position, Your Glove Hand Always Moves First
- The glove arm moves first to activate the hips.
- The hips create direction and momentum, which set the front leg in motion.
- As the front leg stabilizes and accepts force, the throwing arm is free to accelerate and deliver the baseball.
The body throws the baseball one movement at a time.
COMMON PROBLEMS
Most pitching problems occur when one part of the sequence tries to do another part’s job.
- The throwing arm fires
- before the hips.
- In the starting position, the front knee moves behind the front hip.
- The front leg lands before the glove hand crosses the body.
- The head collapses to the side.
When these things happen, the body stops working as a whole.
- The throwing arm begins compensating for movements that should have been created by the lower body and glove side.
- The result is inconsistent command, forced velocity, arm fatigue, and mechanical confusion.
The best deliveries don’t rely on the throwing arm alone.
- The best deliveries rely on the sequence created by the starting position.
- The front foot hits the ground, then you throw
- When the start is right, the body can move in order.
When the body moves in order, command becomes repeatable, velocity becomes easier, and the arm experiences less stress.
