The front shoulder initiates the forward movement of your lower body (stride).
Pulls Your Body Towards The Plate
When the shoulders drive the movement, it creates a more consistent, repeatable throwing motion which leads to better command and control of your pitches.
By engaging the core and upper body first, you generate more power and velocity on your pitches.
A shoulder-dominant motion distributes the forces of pitching more evenly, reducing the stress on your elbow and shoulder joints.
A Balanced Start
Starting with your weight slightly more on your back leg creates a more powerful coil in your body.
Glove Hand Initiation
Your glove hand initiates the movement.
As you bring your glove hand towards the plate, it triggers your front shoulder to start moving forward.
The movement of your front shoulder then causes your lower body to stride forward.
Key Considerations
Your front shoulder starts moving forward slightly before your stride leg steps.
As your front shoulder moves forward, your hips and torso powerfully rotate, generates torque, and adds significant power to your pitch.
