From “Trying to Throw Hard” to Executing a Perfect Sequence
In today’s velocity-driven pitching world, the real breakthrough doesn’t come from muscling up or forcing effort—it comes from mastering the sequence. Modern biomechanics coaching has revealed that the fastest, most consistent, and most durable pitchers aren’t the ones who try to throw hard… they’re the ones who move efficiently.
Coach Skip’s approach replaces conscious effort with clean, automatic movement patterns. Instead of teaching you to “work harder,” he teaches you to “move better.”
The Three-Stage Transformation
1. Discovering the Perfect Front Leg Lift
Everything begins with a balanced, effortless front-leg lift. This single moment sets the tempo, establishes your center of gravity, and prepares your body for optimal sequencing. When your lift is right, the rest of your motion falls into place.
2. Training the Glove Arm to Trigger the Lower Body
Next, you learn how your glove arm becomes the spark that activates your lower half. Instead of drifting forward or opening early, your glove movement cues rotation, direction, and timing. This is where pitchers stop “reaching back” for velocity and start generating it naturally.
3. Lower Body Takeover: Hips Sending the Ball to the Target
Finally, your lower body becomes the engine. Your hips initiate the throw, transferring stored energy through a perfectly timed kinetic chain. When your legs and core do the work, the ball explodes out of the hand—and the arm delivers the result.
This is the mindset shift: mechanics first, command second.
The 3-Month, Email-Based Coaching Feedback Loop
This program isn’t a one-size-fits-all set of drills. It’s a personalized, iterative coaching system.
- You film your delivery.
- You send it in.
- Coach Skip analyzes every frame.
Coach Skip identifies key mechanical flaws—late arm action, poor hip sequencing, early shoulder rotation, and collapsing stride line—and prescribes specific, individualized corrections to eliminate them.
Then you repeat the process, refining your motion until it becomes flawless, automatic, and repeatable.
Why This Works
Because it treats pitching the way elite performers experience it:
Not as an arm-driven effort, but as a full-body mechanical sequence.
When your entire system works together—from lift, to glove trigger, to hip rotation—you unlock:
-
Better command
- Less arm stress
-
A repeatable delivery under pressure
This is the hallmark of modern pitching development, and it’s the core of Coach Skip’s system.
