Shoulders Promote Your Lower Body
The core of the kinetic chain doesn’t work in isolation. Movements in one area influence movements in others.
In sequence, the glove hand, shoulders, and lower body reacting is a great way to visualize this and highlights how a stable upper body can set the stage for efficient lower body engagement.
The glove hand triggers shoulder movement, which explains how the upper body can dictate the tempo and balance of the delivery.
Lower Body Resolution: Forget About Your Lower Body
A pitcher thinks about their lower body to encourage the pitcher’s kinetic chain.
By focusing on the upper body cues, the lower body will naturally respond while consciously trying to force lower body engagement to hinder it.
The idea is to allow the body to move naturally and efficiently. However, overthinking or forcing movements can lead to stiffness and disruptions in the kinetic chain.
Pitch Smart
Focusing on upper body cues reduces tension in the lower body, allowing for smoother and more fluid movements. The timing of the lower body engagement may also naturally improve.
