Throwing with your entire body produces a very different result than throwing primarily with your arm.
Your Lower Body Leads
Lower-body engagement allows energy and momentum to move through your body and into your throwing hand.
Instead of asking your arm to create the pitch, your body creates the throwing action, and your starting position makes this possible.
When your front knee is positioned in front of your front hip, you’re better positioned to maintain balance, engage the lower body, and move toward the target.
Your glove hand then triggers the movement.
With Lower Body Engagement
Your front knee begins in front of your front hip, your glove hand activates your lower body, your lower body creates direction and momentum, and your throwing hand delivers the baseball.
The result is a connected motion designed to produce greater velocity, better command, and more consistent results.
Without Lower Body Engagement
When your starting position doesn’t allow the lower body to lead, the sequence changes.
Your front leg may land too early, your lower body becomes disconnected, and your throwing arm must compensate and create the throw.
Now you’re throwing with your arm instead of your body.
Pitch Smart
Don’t make your throwing arm do your lower body’s job.
