Balanced Starting Positions

Balanced Starting Position

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

Why?

To get your pitch to the target with uncanny regularity, you must keep your weight back, have your Glove Hand prompt your Lower Body, and your Lower Body pulls your Throwing Hand through to the target.

Your Body’s movement prompts your Throwing Arm to deliver the ball to your target.

Anything other than your weight back stimulates a series of at least 20 reactionary instances that’ll cause your pitch to not hit your target.

Bad Starting Positions

Any position where your Front Knee is behind your Front Hip is an instance where your ball misses your target more than hits your target.

You land your Stride, your Front Hip catches up with your Body, and you deliver the ball like you were throwing darts.

Some of your pitches hit the target, but many more missed.

Good Starting Position

The best position is keeping your Front Knee in front of your Front Hip and your Front Heel in line with your Back Toe.

Your Glove Arm naturally turns your Lower Body, your Shoulders follow, and your Throwing Arm fires your pitch.

Your Stride and Throwing Action become one motion.

SHOULDERS, COMMAND, AND YOUR LOWER BODY

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

Shoulders In Line

As you move into your release, your Shoulders being in line with your target promotes your Lower Body and locates your pitches.

Moving into your Stride with your Shoulders in line also brings your Lower Body in line.

This loosens your Glove Arm to get your Lower Body engaged in your Throwing Action.

Your Lower Body pulls your Throwing Hand into release and drives the ball into your target with uncanny regularity.

Shoulders Out of Line

Your Shoulders out of line signifies your Lower Body needs to get in line with your Shoulders.

The only way to do this is to land your Stride.

With your Front Foot on the ground, your Shoulders move in line, and you make your Throwing Action.

Your Glove Arm follows your Throwing Arm, and your Lower Body is there to stabilize your actions.

Your Front Foot on the ground means your Glove Arm, instead of firing your Lower Body, is used to balance your motion.

Get “Legitimate” Shoulders

To find your target with uncanny regularity, you want your Glove Arm to prompt your Lower Body, and your Lower Body to start your Throwing Action.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you to begin with your Shoulders in line on every motion, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

“Legitimate” Internal Rotation and Your Front Knee

Preliminaries

Your Body is always in balance.

“False” Internal Rotation creates balance when your Front Knee goes behind your Front Hip.

In “Legitimate” Internal Rotation, you produce balance when your Front Knee stays in front of your Front Hip.

“Legitimate” Internal Rotation

To create a position for your Front Knee to end up in front of your Front Hip, your Feet begin close together.

From this position, you want your front Thigh to rotate outward.

Your Front Knee stays in front of your Front Hip, your Front Toe lines up with your Back Hip, and your Front Foot toes point toward Home Plate.

“False” Internal Rotation

Without exception, your Feet in any other position prompts your Front Knee to go behind your Front Hip.

No matter how you maneuver your Body, your Lower Body will always follow your Throwing Arm, your ball will periodically go into your target, but no regularly.

You rely on the Hitter to make your outing something with structure.

To find your target with uncanny regularity, you want your Front Knee to stay in front of your Front Hip.

Your Throwing Hand and Command

Your Throwing Arm Compensation

Your Stride becomes involved with your motion when your Front Leg fails to compensate for your balance.

Your Throwing Hand goes behind your Body to counterbalance your Stride.

After your Stride ends, your Throwing Arm sends the ball to your target area, and you end up managing your pitch location through your next release point.

Your location is suspect and highly out of synch.

Your Throwing Arm Freedom

When your Front Leg is involved with your balance, you land your Stride Leg, fire your Lower Body, then deliver your pitch.

Your Lower Body controlling your Throwing Arm makes your motion into a single action.

Your Throwing Hand stays in front of your Body and, as such, shoots the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

You miss your target, and you merely work the process all over again.

Improved Command

Your command finds the ball in or very close to your target.

Missing your target by a lot indicates your Throwing Hand went behind your Body.

On the next pitch, you rely on your motion, and throw the ball right into your target.

Better Throwing Action

Your Throwing Action regularly places the ball in your target with uncanny regularity.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you an active Throwing Arm location to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Back Knee, Glove Work, and Command

You Don’t Want Your Back Knee to Begin Over Your Back Foot

Your Front Foot beginning wider than your Shoulders means your Back Knee activates your motion with your Back Knee over your Back Foot.

When you lift your Front Foot to complete your Front Leg lift, your weight ends up over your Back Foot.

With your weight over your Back Foot, you move toward your target with your Body needing to get in balance.

You regain balance only when your Front Foot hits the ground.

At the point your Front Foot hits the ground, your Throwing Arm acts alone to deliver the ball to your target.

The fact your Throwing Arm works alone means you lose your Lower Body, and your target area expands.

Your Back Knee Begins Behind Your Back Foot

Your Front Foot beginning under your Hips puts your Back Knee behind your Back Foot.

Your Front Foot lift ends with your Leg to the Home Plate side of your Front Hip.

Your Lower Body prompts your Glove Arm to trigger your Throwing Action.

The ball goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

Better Back Knee Action

Your Back Knee being to the second base side of your Back Foot promotes exceptional command.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you a Back Knee position to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Foot Work, Glove Work, and Command

The correct Foot Distance promotes great Glove Work and exceptional command.

Your Foot work

When your Foot Distance between your Feet is greater than one baseball width, your weight goes on your Back Foot.

From the Back Foot, your Throwing Arm moves your weight from your Back Foot to your Front.

Instead of getting involved with your command, this motion prompts your Throwing Arm to be engaged with your motion’s balance.

Your Glove Work

When your Arm is used to balance your motion, your Glove Arm reacts to your Throwing Shoulder.

Your Throwing Arm Shoulder comes to your target and your Glove Work path follows your Throwing Arm.

Your Glove Work remains inconsequential and ineffective.

Your Command

You change your Foot Positioning, and your point of balance is at a point that’s directly in front of your Back Foot.

Now, your Glove Work controls your Throwing Arm.

The ball goes into your target with uncanny regularity, your Throwing Arm always shows fastball speed, but the ball takes on the look of your Grip.

Better Positioning

For your Glove Work to control your command, you need your Foot Positioning to be in balance.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you to begin your motion with your Feet close together, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

What Does “Good” Pitching Look Like?

When a Person plays with a rubber band-powered, balsa wood toy airplane, they wind the propeller, and, when they let the propeller go, the rubber band supplies extra thrust.

The plane’s rubber band mirrors the twisting force an elite Pitcher creates when they end their stride with their hips and shoulders at opposing angles.

Like the rubber band powers the plane’s propeller, the torque their lower body generates spontaneously whips their throwing hand into release and sends their fastballs directly into their intended target.

Why Do Most Coaches Fail to Teach “Good”?

Most Coaches miss the fact that, when a Person is perched on one foot, the Individual’s hips and shoulders move as one.

Few Coaches seem to realize that, when a Person stands on one foot and is asked to move their hips, their hips won’t turn (can’t turn) until the Individual moves their shoulders.

Without this understanding, most Pitching Coaches allow their Students to end their front leg lift with their weight over their back foot.

They force the Pitcher’s hips and shoulders to move down the mound as a single unit, and effectively eliminate the lower body torque the Pitcher needs to send their fastballs directly into their intended target.

Balance, Command, and Your Glove Hand Movement

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you Glove Hand movement, balance, and command.

Preliminaries

Your Starting Position impacts your Glove Hand movement.

The right Glove Hand movement indicates balance.

However, when your Glove Hand merely reacts to your Starting Position, your Body moves out of balance and your command suffers.

No Glove Hand Movement

With bad Glove Hand movement, your Glove Hand reacts to your Hips movement.

Your Glove Hand takes on a path of its own and fires the ball to a point between your natural release point and the spot where you want your ball to go.

Your Glove Hand release places the ball in a location where the Hitter drives the ball, or lets the pitch go.

The Right Glove Hand Movement

Your good Starting Position focuses your weight just in front of Back Foot and your Front Leg lift keeps your weight just in front of your Back Foot.

Your Body’s good position means your Glove Hand drives your Throwing Hand into release.

Your Glove Hand Palm moving up takes the ball into your target with uncanny regularity!

Accomplishing This?

Want your Body to produce a Glove Hand movement?
