A Balanced Pitching Motion
Join Coach Skip to learn how to produce a “Balanced Pitching Motion” where location works with velocity to create a skilled result.
The human body’s natural response to maintaining balance
- The human body possesses an incredibly sophisticated system for maintaining balance.
- This system operates primarily at a subconscious level, constantly monitoring and adjusting to subtle shifts in weight distribution.
- When the subconscious senses any imbalance, it triggers an automatic response to prevent falls.
- The arms act as counterweights, extending outward to help maintain equilibrium.
- Balance Beam: When balancing on a narrow surface, the arms instinctively extend outward to help maintain the center of gravity.
- Slippery Ice: On ice, the arms swing out to counteract any loss of balance and prevent a fall.
- Bicycle: When encountering a pebble, the arms instinctively adjust to maintain stability and prevent the rider from losing control.
Without conscious thought, the human body often executes a testament to the intricate workings of the nervous system.
How do you use your arms to get to your throwing action?
- If you’re in balance in your starting position, but your motion automatically sends you out of balance, your arms get you back in balance at your stride.
- With your arm getting your back in balance, many things drive the ball’s location.
-
If you’re in balance, your entire body gets involved.
- Your glove arm gets your lower body to fire, you stride, and you throw the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.
