Motion

A Way to Optimize Upper Body Mechanics

Pro Pitching Institute is one of the top 100 baseball blogs on the Internet.

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.

Lower Body Engagement as a Natural Response

Pro Pitching Institute is one of the top 100 baseball blogs on the Internet.

Lower body involvement is a natural consequence of proper upper body movements and ball location.

Your Front Leg puts your Glove Hand in a position to control your motion.

The front leg’s landing creates a foundation, initiates the upper body’s control, and sets the stage for the upper body to start the throwing motion.

Your Glove Hand goes palm up at the right time.

A key component in starting the kinetic chain reaction is a specific glove-side action that creates separation between the upper and lower body, initiates torso rotation, and loads the hips.

You activate your Lower Body.

The proper positioning and movement of the front leg and glove hand naturally trigger the lower body to drive forward and rotate.

Your Lower Body drives your pitch location.

The lower body controls the pitch’s direction, velocity, and accuracy. Your ball naturally goes directly into your target.

Your Lower Body involvement is guaranteed.

The lower body will always be involved when the first two steps are done correctly.

Pitch Smart

By focusing on the correct sequence of movements, pitchers ensure consistent lower body involvement and improve their accuracy and velocity.

We’re so confident in our instructions that we offer a unique guarantee: if we can’t help you get the ball to your target regularly, your instruction is free, no questions asked.

Front Knee Position: Setting the Stage for Success

Your FREE Instruction When We Can’t Add Command to Your Velocity!

Pro Pitching Institute is one of the top 100 baseball blogs on the Internet.

The position of your front knee at the start of your delivery is crucial for balance, power, and accuracy.

Front Knee Behind the Front Hip: The Reactive Approach

Starting with your front knee behind your front hip often leads to a reactive delivery. Your body is constantly trying to catch up to your weight.

Because you’re reacting, your delivery becomes less consistent, you’re likely to have varying release points, and you’re leading to unpredictable pitch location.

The throwing hand trying to keep the body in balance is a major red flag. Your legs and core should provide the balance, not your arm.

Front Knee Ahead of the Front Hip: The Proactive Approach

Starting with your front knee slightly ahead of your front hip promotes a proactive and balanced delivery, and you move toward the target.

Your weight is centered, creating a stable base for your delivery.

The kinetic chain works optimally by facilitating a smooth and efficient energy transfer from your legs and hips through your core and into your arm.

Our Guarantee

You’re in control of your motion, not reacting to it.

We’re so confident in our instructions that we offer a unique guarantee: if we can’t help you get the ball to your target regularly, your instruction is free, no questions asked.

Throwing Action

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you a “balanced” Throwing Action.

Starting Position

Your Starting Position determines your Throwing Action.

Bad Arms

Your Throwing Arm going behind your Body offsets your Starting Position and you see fewer pitches going into your target.

Good Arms

Your Throwing Arm ending up in front of your Body gives you a balanced Throwing Action.

Your Throwing Arm reacts to your Glove Arm and more pitches end up in your target.

How To Accomplish This?

Want to end your motion with your Throwing Arm in front of your Body?

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you to manage your Throwing Action, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Foot Strike

My name is Coach Skip, and you’re going to learn about a “balanced” Stride.

An Out-of-Balance Foot Strike

At the end of your Stride, your Throwing Arm reacts to your Body’s position.

When your Foot Strike position is out of balance, your release is spotty at best.

Balanced Foot Strikes

Land your Stride with your Foot Strike in balance and your Throwing Action reacts a lot differently.

Your ball ends up in the target with uncanny regularity.

Front Knee Position

My name is Coach Skip, and you’re going to learn about a “balanced” Front Knee position.

Poor front Knee

During your Front Leg Lift, your Front Knee going behind your Front Hip prevents your Lower Body from commanding your pitch.

You never know where your ball ends up.

The front Knee You Want

However, your Front Knee staying in front of your Front Hip allows your Lower Body to command your pitch.

Your ball goes into your target with uncanny regularity.
