Crucial Role Of The Glove Hand

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

Balance at the start is fundamental for proper glove hand usage.

“Inactive Glove Hand”

“Inactive Glove Hand” results from an unbalanced start

Out-of-balance start -> Glove arm used for balance -> Loss of glove hand control -> No impact on pitch location.

An “Active Glove Hand”

An “Active Glove Hand” stems from a balanced starting position.

Balanced start -> Glove hand path triggers lower body -> Sends ball to target -> Automatic pitch location.

More On An “Active Glove Hand”

An active glove hand plays a critical role in initiating the lower body and directing the pitch.

The path of the active glove hand is key to initiating the lower body and achieving accurate pitch location.

The path directly links the active glove hand to automatic pitch location, freeing the pitcher to focus on other aspects like speed and movement.

The specific path of the glove hand is crucial for triggering the desired lower body movement.

Pitch Smart

When the glove hand and lower body work in sync, pitch location can become more automatic.

Better Command? It Starts With Your Back Knee

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

Want to throw strikes consistently?

It’s simpler than you think: your back knee.

Your back knee behind your back foot keeps your weight back, makes your throwing motion natural, and channels your lower body’s energy straight to the target.

Check Your Back Knee!

Tired of wild pitches and missed targets?

You’re not alone.

Many pitchers struggle with command, and a common culprit is their back-knee position.

Starting with your back knee ahead of your back foot throws everything off.

The Back Knee Advantage

Want to take your pitching to the next level?

When you position your back knee behind your back foot, your back knee keeps your weight back for optimal power, promotes a natural and repeatable motion, and naturally channels your lower body’s energy directly to the target.

Pitch Smart

Stop fighting your mechanics. Start with your back knee behind your back foot.

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.

The Misconception Of Arm Dominance In Command

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

Complicated Command

Many pitchers overthink their arm action, believing it solely dictates where the ball goes.

This over-reliance on the arm leads to inconsistent release points and poor command.

The throwing arm plays a role, but it’s more of a facilitator than the primary driver of location.

The Importance Of A Strong Foundation

Starting with the weight over the back foot allows for a smooth and powerful leg lift without compromising balance.

A clean and controlled glove hand movement sets the stage for the rest of the motion.

The lower body rotates, generates the power, and directs the pitch toward the target.

The arm action then follows naturally, executing the pitch with the power generated by the lower body.

Simple Command

Actual command originates from a stable lower body and a coordinated sequence of movements.

The throwing arm is a tool to deliver the pitch, not the sole determinant of its location.

Our Guarantee

By focusing on a strong foundation and allowing the lower body to drive the pitch, pitchers develop consistent command and improve their overall effectiveness.

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.
