Rotate your pelvis before your shoulders!
You DON’T want your pelvis to rotate AFTER your front foot lands.
You want your glove hand to initiate your pelvis as your front foot lands!
Through online instruction, I guarantee I’ll teach you to rotate your pelvis before your shoulders.
- In fact, with over 30+ years of coaching pitchers, I’ve had HUNDREDS tell me how much better their pitching motion feels once their pelvis rotates before their front foot lands.
Pitching Motion Correction | Live Coaching in South Jersey | The “Sequencing” Book
Starting Position → Front Leg Lift → Separation → Pelvis Rotation → Shoulder Rotation → Throwing Action
- Your lower body begins your delivery.
- Your pelvis rotates your trunk.
- Your trunk transfers movement into the throwing action.
- Your throwing arm accelerates and delivers the baseball.
You’re not eliminating strength; YOU’RE PUTTING YOUR STRENGTH WHERE IT BELONGS.
Your throwing arm doesn’t have to solve EVERY problem on its own.

Your pelvis rotating before your front foot lands BUILDS command and VELOCITY.
When your body works in the proper order, your Lower Body Leads → Pelvis Rotates → Trunk Follows → Throwing Arm Accelerates → Baseball Is Delivered
Each part contributes to the next.
Instead of asking your throwing arm to create all the speed itself, your entire body contributes to producing and transferring force through the delivery.
Better Sequencing → Better Transfer of Force → Opportunity for Better Velocity
Your glove hand rotating your pelvis BUILDS COMMAND.
Command depends on repeating your delivery.
-
Every pitcher wants more velocity, but velocity means very little when you don’t know where the baseball is going.
-
When your movements happen in a consistent order, you have a better chance to repeat your timing, direction, and release.
Repeat the Sequencing → Repeat the Motion → Improve the Opportunity for Consistent Command → Velocity Follows
That’s why command isn’t just about aiming the baseball, and velocity isn’t just about throwing harder.
Both begin with building a motion that works together.
STRENGTH IS WHAT YOU HAVE. SEQUENCING IS HOW YOU USE IT.
- Organize your strength.
- Repeat your sequencing.
- Build your command.
- Develop your velocity.
Without your pelvis, YOU use your throwing arm to produce your results.
-
When you want more velocity, you try to throw harder.
-
When you miss your target, your throwing arm works harder to guide the baseball.
-
When your motion breaks down, your throwing arm compensates.
Your throwing arm becomes the answer to everything, but it can’t organize your pitching motion.
- If your body moves out of order, your throwing arm has to use strength to compensate for what didn’t happen earlier in the motion.
- But when your pelvis rotates your shoulders, your strength travels through the entire delivery.
Lower Body → Pelvis → Trunk → Throwing Arm → Baseball
Sequencing makes the difference.
- STRENGTH says: Throw harder.
- SEQUENCING says: Move in the right order.
- STRENGTH asks the throwing arm to create the pitch.
- Sequencing lets the entire body contribute to the pitch.
