“Proprioception and Your Kinetic Chain Unleashes Your Lower Body”

856.524.3248

Breaking Free from “Feeling” Your Pitch

Inconsistent command and frustration result from relying on feelings rather than executing a proven process grounded in sound mechanics.

The Problem with “Feeling”

An unreliable feeling relies on intuition and makes delivery unpredictable.

Inconsistency struggles to maintain a high level of performance.

The Power of Mechanics

True pitching is about understanding and executing the correct movements, following a proven process.

The lower body is critical for generating power and accuracy by efficiently and consistently transferring energy.

A restricted movement that limits power and control is to land the front foot and then start the throwing motion.

The Pro Pitching Institute’s Approach

The Institute’s instruction focuses on creating a repeatable delivery by correcting movement and sequencing.

Proper mechanics and body awareness ensure a repeatable delivery.

Harnessing lower-body power generates more speed and accuracy.

Target precision develops the ability to hit your target with precision and consistency.

Let’s hear from you!

By following these tips and seeking guidance from Coach Skip Fast, you elevate your pitching game and achieve your full potential.

Your pitch motion is hidden within your body.

You move the right way and you get the right result.

The Central Role of the Glove Hand

Your core concept —that the glove side is the critical trigger—is your missing link.

By keeping that front side closed and your glove hand near your front hip for as long as possible, you create a powerful tension – your hips load up against that closed front shoulder, like twisting a rubber band.
- Your glove hand acts as the release valve, stopping your forward momentum and forcing your body to rotate violently around that anchor, immediately cueing hip rotation and unlocking the massive energy stored in your core. Hip rotation precedes shoulder rotation to maximize your whip effect.
Your results beautifully tie your mechanics directly to the outcomes.
- Proper hip/trunk rotation and timing ensure maximum energy transfer from your lower body to the ball.
- Your arm acts as a passive whip rather than a force generator, reducing strain on your elbow and shoulder.
- A consistent, repeatable, and balanced delivery creates a stable platform for your arm to release the ball at the same point every time.

Your delivery system allows you to achieve the most velocity with the least effort and arm wear.

You turn pitching from an act of throwing into an act of controlled rotation and energy transfer.

With coach Skip’s instruction, everyone gets a drill to tell you whether your lower body is involved

1. The Setup

You establish a narrow, athletic, and slightly closed base.
By implying your front foot is slightly angled and your back leg is ready to push, your loaded position is ready to move forward.
Your glove hand is your initial “stay closed” cue.
Stop: An important pause to feel and confirm your athletic balance and loaded tension.

2. The Coil and Break

Your body is perfectly stacked over your pivot foot, maximizing balance and preventing lateral drift.
Your front heel lines up with your back toes, and your front toe points toward the target.
You establish your early arm cocking position and create your anchor point for your hip drive, resisting your early rotation.
Stop: Another pause to feel your coiled tension, confirm your lower body is loaded, and your upper body is separated, with the arm and glove in the optimal power position.

3. The Fire

You initiate hip and trunk rotation, setting your kinetic chain’s whip-like action toward the plate.

Your drill sequence is a sophisticated way to engrain sequential movement and front-side control—your true keys to velocity, command, and durability.
