“Contact me if you can’t get your Lower Body to fire your throwing arm!” – Coach Skip Fast, 27 Years Coaching Pitchers
Turning yourself into a pitching Machine
Coach Skip Fast emphasizes a crucial concept in pitching: lower body involvement as the foundation for robust and accurate throws.
-
Lower Body Initiation:
- The glove hand plays a key role in initiating this lower body movement.
-
Shoulder Rotation:
- The shoulders then rotate, creating a decisive “whip-like” action.
-
Stride:
- This stride provides a crucial element of momentum and helps transfer weight.
-
Throwing Arm Action:
- The arm acts as the final link in the kinetic chain, delivering the ball with speed and accuracy.
In-person coaching provides personalized feedback and allows coaches to observe and correct individual flaws in real-time into pitching mechanics.
Coach Skip rightly emphasizes the importance of the lower body as the prime mover in the throwing motion. The sequence of lower body, shoulders, stride, and throwing arm is crucial for optimal power and efficiency. While velocity is essential, Coach Skip highlights the importance of control and accuracy. Throwing hard without control is ineffective.
By focusing on proper lower body involvement and adhering to the “Lower Body, Shoulders, Stride, Throwing Arm” sequence, pitchers develop powerful, accurate, and injury-free throwing motions.
