How To You Keep Your Lower Body Connected?

 

Discover how your Foot Placements prepare your Lower Body to produce the results you want as often as you expect.

Pro Pitching Institute is one of the top 100 baseball blogs on the Internet.Ending your Stride with a twisted Torso force your Body to use your Throwing Action to right itself.

In the process, your Lower Body produces the results you want as often as you expect.

How Do You End Your Stride with a Twist?

To end your Stride with your Hips and Shoulders at different angles, you use your Glove Side Shoulder to spin your Body out of your Front Leg lift.

Your Foot Plant stops your Lower Body rotation, your Upper Body continues to spin, and for your Body to get itself back to balance, you force your Body to make a throwing action.

Active Strides Hurt Your Results.

When you actively stride, you use your Throwing Arm to offset your forward weight shift, and by doing so, you lock your Glove Arm in place.

With your Glove Arm locked in place, you block any Upper Body rotation, and can only hope to produce the results you expect.

A Free Glove Arm is Critical to Your Mound Success.

The right Foot placements end your Front Leg lift with your Front Knee in front of your Front Shoulder.

The separation between your Knees keeps your Glove Arm free to have your Lower Body drive the results you want.

Here’s a Way to Instantly Improve Your Pitching Results

 

Discover a proven way to trick your Body into producing the results you need to keep your pitching career moving to the next level.

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

Pitching aside, with both Feet on the ground, your Body naturally centers your weight between your Feet and keeps your Arms free to move the way you want.

The Results You Want

By ending your Front Leg lift with a distance between your Knees, you trick your Body into acting as if you had both Feet on the ground.

Your Body keeps your Glove Arm free to engage your Lower Body, you allow your Throwing Arm to react to your Lower Body and, as an instantaneous reaction, your Throwing Action produces the results you want.

The Results You Do Have

However, when, at the top of your Front Leg lift, you place your weight over your Back Foot, you must stride.

Your stride may move you toward your target, but it also engages your Front Hip, locks your Throwing Shoulder in place, and makes using your Lower Body to drive your results physically impossible.

This means, unless you find a productive Stride tempo, you can only hope to produce the results you want.

Get Better Results

Producing better results comes from finding the right combination of Foot Placements and Lower Body positioning that’ll allow you to end your Front Leg lift with a distance between your Knees.

If you need help finding a productive Front Leg lift, Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

Start Your 2022 Season Off on the Right Foot!

 

End your Front Leg lift with a distance between your Knees, and, with the right Glove Arm action, fulfill your 2022 goals.

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

How to Improve Your 2022 Outings?

The 2022 improvement you desire comes from keeping a clear distance between your Knees at the top of your Front Leg lift.

Do this and you keep your Throwing Arm free to repeatedly and automatically produce the results you want as often as you expect.

A Simple Goal for Your 2022 Pitching Motion

In 2022, by beginning with your Feet under your Knees, you, by design, stand a better chance to finish your Front Leg lift with your Front Knee separated from your Back, and consequently keep your Throwing Arm free to respond to your foot plant.

By using your Glove Arm to take you out of your Front Leg lift, the distance between your Knees signals your body to end your stride with your hips and shoulders at different angles.

Realize Your 2022 Goals

By plan, your Body uses your Throwing action to relieve the tension created at foot plant.

Your Body whips your Throwing Arm into release, and, in the process, automatically upgrades your 2021 results to your 2022 goals,

Need help making 2022 your best season yet, Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

Dynamic Balance Improves Pitching Results

 

A laser focus on dynamic balance produces the results you want more often than you expect.

Pro Pitching Institute is one of the top 100 baseball blogs on the Internet.When you methodically choreograph your dynamic balance into your foot plant, you’re very likely to experience better results.

You’re dynamically balanced when your movements create a chain reaction within your shoulder, hips, arms, and legs.

How To Generate Dynamic Pitching Balance?

Dynamic balance starts with your feet under your hips.

By beginning this way, your hips remain free to shift your weight over your back leg.

With your weight over your back leg, without disrupting your balance, your front knee is free to complete your front leg lift.

From your front leg lift, you lock your back leg in place and use your free glove arm to create a spinning action proven to generate tremendous tension at foot strike.

You neutralize your body’s tension by automatically producing the results you want.

Dynamic Balance Is Easy to Teach

Your delivery lacks dynamic balance when your motion stops at your foot plant.

If this describes you, you’re not ending your front leg lift in a state of dynamic balance. Correct this, and through repetition, you’ll instantly produce better results more often.

Need help finding your dynamic balance, Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

Unlock Your Pitching Results

 

A very simple way to unlock your pitching potential is to begin each motion by telling your body how you want it to move.

Pro Pitching Institute is one of the top 100 baseball blogs on the Internet.You open a lock by putting a predetermined sequence of numbers into a tumbler.

Likewise, you unlock more productive results when you send your body the right sequence of movements/positions.

Tell Yourself How to Succeed

Regularly send your body a proven sequence of foot placements, lower body orientations, hand positions, front leg lifts, and throwing triggers and you unlock your pitching potential.

The biggest problem you have is that, even if you had the right combination, you begin your delivery without telling your body how you want it to move.

Instead, you set your feet, think about what you want to accomplish, begin your delivery, and only hope to produce the results you want.

You Say It, You Think It

A best practice is, whether in competition or in the bullpen, to always say out loud the pitching combination you want your body to use.

Very quickly, the improved results associated with telling your body how you want it to move become a habit.

Need Your Pitching Combination?

If you’re searching for the right pitching combination, start your search with your feet, move to your legs, and finish with your upper body.

Need help finding a productive pitching combination, Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

Master Your Stride

Pro Pitching Institute

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

When perched on one foot, your stride leg works in unison with your throwing arm. 

You move your stride leg, and your throwing arm reacts. You move your throwing arm, and your stride leg reacts.

Your stride leg/throwing arm connection gives you two ways to move down the mound.

Your Stride Prompts Your Throwing Action  

End your front leg lift with your weight over your posting foot, and, to move down the mound, you must stride.

Your stride controls your throwing arm path and, until you find an efficient stride tempo, you can only hope to produce the results you want.

Your Throwing Action Prompts Your Stride

When you end your front leg lift with your front knee in line with your front shoulder, you can use your throwing action to move down the mound.

Your stride turns into a reaction, you end your stride with your hips/shoulders at opposing angles, and you produce the results you want much more often than a Pitcher who strides out of their front leg lift.

You Have a Clear Choice

You either let your stride drive your delivery and not know where your pitches will end up or use your throwing action to let your stride produce better results more often.

Want to turn your stride into a reaction? Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

Quality Glove Arm Tucks

 

The timing of your glove arm tuck dictates whether you produce the pitch location and ball movement you need to keep your Team close enough to win the game.

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

Upper Body Driven Tucks

End your starting position with your front knee behind your front hip, and, to move down the mound, you must stride.

Your body uses your throwing arm to offset your movement down the mound, and you delay your glove arm tuck until you complete your stride.

Your upper body works alone, and it’s impossible for you to know with any certainty where any single pitch will end up.

Full Body Driven Tucks

When you end your starting position with your front knee in line with your front shoulder, your glove arm tuck will spin your body into your stride and force you to end your stride with your hips and shoulders at opposing angles.

You use your entire body to relieve the tension between your hips/shoulders by making a throwing action that’ll repeatedly produce the results you want.

The Hitter’s perspective.

Let your glove arm tuck force an upper-body-only delivery, and your different release points/varied arm speeds risk tipping your pitches to the best-trained Hitters.

However, use your glove arm tuck to spin your body down the mound, and your Opponents see a fastball arm speed, must guess at ball speed/movement and have a much tougher time reaching base.

Need a more efficient starting position? Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

Change Your Pitching Career’s Trajectory

 

Pro Pitching Institute

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

Is your inability to locate your pitches already destroying your pitching future?

You can break the radar gun, possess unbelievable ball movement, have the perfect pitching strategy, possess the best stats, but unless you know how to regularly send your pitches where your Team wants with the movement your Team expects, none of these benchmarks matter.

In fact, the more often you fail to execute your pitches, the less value you are to your Team, and the less likely you are to ever pitch at the next level.

Your pitch location solidifies your pitching future.

Once you discover how to end your stride with your hips and shoulders at opposing angles, you become one of the few Pitchers your Team can count on to keep the Team close enough to win, you solidify your spot on your current Team and you attract the next-level attention needed to keep climbing the baseball ladder.

Make your pitching career great.

No matter your age or skill level, ending your stride with your hips and shoulders at opposing angles is teachable, and the pitch location associated with knowing how to do this is proven to attract next-level attention.

Struggling with your pitch location? Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

You can’t change your mechanics!

Pro Pitching Institute

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

Based upon your natural reactions, it’s physically impossible and a waste of your time to try to change your mechanics as you move down the mound, and here’s why!

Your Natural Reactions

Your body is built to keep you from hurting yourself.

Picture riding a bike, and, without warning, your front wheel runs over a small pebble.

To not crash, your body instinctively controls your front wheel handlebars.

When placed in this situation, you don’t realize it, but your body processes information 50,000 times faster than you can think to move your handlebars!

You do, however, regain control of your handlebars after your body feels you’re no longer in danger.

Your body’s natural reactions and your pitching motion.

Think of your first movement out of your front leg lift as if your bike ran over a pebble.

As you move down the mound, the movements you see are the way your body needs to move to keep you safe.

While moving toward your target, you can, however, control your starting position, and, once you end your stride, you can control your arm slot, but it’s impossible to change your actions as you move down the mound!

Want to get your natural reactions to produce the results you want? Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

Balance Promotes Lower Body Engagement

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

Understanding your body’s physical make-up

Your body keeps itself in balance by having your front leg work in unison with your back arm and your front arm working simultaneously with your back leg. 

Every one of your body parts shifts every time you move.

Where does lower body involvement come from?

With this understanding, you can logically deduce what it takes to get your lower body to drive your throwing arm.

To get your lower body involved in your motion, your glove arm must move your back hip, your back hip forces you to end your stride, and, at foot strike, your throwing arm automatically sends your pitches directly into your intended target.

An active stride causes you to lose your lower body.

Your stride creates an imbalance. With your front leg and throwing arm working together, you lock your throwing arm in place.

With your throwing arm physically attached to your glove side, it is now physically impossible for your glove arm to fire your lower body.

Lower body engagement is all about balance

Only when you turn your stride from an action into a balance-related reaction do you free your glove side to activate your lower body.

Don’t know how to make your stride a reaction? Coach Skip is waiting for your call.
