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.
