Your back knee helps determine whether your body moves in sequence.
Improper Back Knee Position Disrupts the Kinetic Chain
When your back knee moves ahead of or directly over your back foot, your body begins to tilt, balance is lost, and the upper and lower body stop working together.
The glove hand loses direction, the lower body loses influence, and the throwing arm starts doing work that should have been done by the body.
Command suffers, velocity becomes forced, and the kinetic chain breaks down before the baseball is even thrown.
Proper Back Knee Position Supports the Kinetic Chain
When the back knee is positioned toward second base, the body stays centered, balance is maintained, the head stays stable, the glove hand moves freely across the body, and the lower body begins the sequence.
Energy transfers from the ground into the core, then into the throwing arm, and the body delivers the pitch.
Sequence Creates Results
The goal is not to throw harder. The goal is to move in the correct order.
When the back knee supports balance, the kinetic chain stays connected, command improves, velocity becomes easier, and the arm experiences less stress.
Pitch Smart
Build the sequence from the ground up.
