A Simple Way to Improve Command

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

Front Foot Wider Than Your Shoulders

Your front foot wider than your shoulders leads to the front knee naturally drifting behind the front hip during the leg lift.

Your feet wider than your shoulders create an unstable and unbalanced position, reducing control over the pitch.

You will likely “fly open” or have difficulty repeating a consistent release point.

Feet One Baseball Width Apart

Feet one baseball width apart promotes a more balanced leg lift, keeping the front knee in front of the front hip.

Your feet one baseball width apart provides better control, gives you a better sense of where the ball will go, and encourages a more linear and repeatable delivery.

Conclusion

Your feet one baseball width apart helps you maintain proper alignment, keeps the front knee in front of the hip during the leg lift, and allows for a more consistent and repeatable delivery, leading to improved command.

Our Guarantee

We’re so confident in our instructions that we offer a unique guarantee: if we can’t help you get the ball to your target regularly, your instruction is free, no questions asked.
