The critical role of proper glove hand movement in achieving accurate throws is linked directly to proprioception.
Awareness and Control
Your glove hand is constantly receiving information from the muscles, tendons, and joints of your glove arm allowing for precise position, movement, and the tension without your mind having to look for it.
Guiding Mechanism
Your brain uses the proprioceptive input from the glove arm to make fine-tuned adjustments, ensuring it moves in a coordinated way to lead the throwing arm.
Without this proprioceptive awareness, the glove hand’s movement would be erratic and ineffective as a guide.
Feeling the Connection
Good pitchers feel the connection between their glove hand and throwing hand and this feel is proprioceptive; it’s the internal sense of how the two arms are working together in sync.
Pitch Smart
Proper glove hand movement is not just an aesthetic part of pitching; it relies heavily on proprioception.
Your glove arm acts as an initiator of the throwing sequence, a guide for the throwing arm, and a mechanism for transferring and directing energy generated by the lower body and core towards the target.
We’re so confident in our instructions that, if we can’t help you get the ball to your target via live or zoom instruction, your instruction is FREE, no questions asked.
