Better Command Starts With Your Back Knee

Want to throw strikes consistently?

Your back knee behind your back foot keeps your weight centered, stabilizes your base, and allows your delivery to unfold naturally.

When that back knee stays stacked behind the foot, your lower body leads the motion instead of chasing it.

Check Your Back Knee

Many pitchers fight command because their delivery starts in the wrong place.

When your back knee drifts ahead of your back foot, your weight leaks forward early, forcing your arm to compensate, and that compensation kills consistency.

When the base leaks, the arm pays the price.

The Back Knee Advantage

Position your back knee behind your back foot.

Your weight stays back longer for controlled forward momentum, your motion becomes repeatable, not rushed, and your lower-body energy flows forward instead of spinning off-line.

Your arm doesn’t need to “aim,” it simply delivers what the lower half builds.

Pitch Smart

Start with a sequence, keeping your back knee behind your back foot.

Your weight stays centered and controlled, your lower half leads to the motion, your arm stops compensating, and command becomes repeatable

Strength doesn’t fix timing. Sequence does.
