❌ Wrong Sequence: Your Front Foot Starts Your Motion
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.
Your starting position causes your front foot to land before your body is ready to throw.
Your front foot lands, your glove hand moves across your body, and you throw the ball.
Now your lower body and back hip are reacting to the throw instead of helping create it.
Your hips rotate too late, your throwing arm is forced to do the work, and your back hip ends up hindering the motion instead of driving it.
The result?
- Inconsistent command, inconsistent velocity, and constant compensation.
✅ Right Sequence: Your Glove Hand Starts Your Motion
Your starting position allows your glove hand to move from one side of your body to the other.
Your front knee behind your front shoulder forces your throwing arm to work by itself.
Your glove hand moves, your stride lands, and you deliver the ball.
Now your glove hand initiates the sequence, your hips fire, your stride lands in time, and your throwing arm follows the motion.
Instead of searching for the target with your arm, your entire body delivers the pitch.
The result?
- Repeatable command, efficient velocity, and a baseball that arrives at the target with movement.
When your glove hand crosses your body, your body can deliver the ball.
Instead of your starting position prompting your front foot to start the throw, your starting position should prompt your glove hand to start the sequence.
When your glove hand starts the delivery, your hips, stride, and throwing arm work together to send the ball to the target.
That’s not throwing, that’s delivering the ball.
