Pitch Location is Basic Math.

Pro Pitching Institute

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

Do the Math

Like a math equation, the sum of your mechanics equals your pitch location.

Anytime you attempt to change a mechanic without considering its impact on the entire equation, your formula for pitching success is out of balance, and your pitch location suffers.

Sequencing Matters

Besides keeping your equation in balance, to maintain your pitch location, you must also consider the sequence of your actions.

One misplaced movement and your equation falls apart, or, in pitching terms, you miss your intended target more often than is healthy for your pitching career.

Take Your Pitching Career to Heights Unknown.

Coach Skip is the leading authority in developing very personal and extremely dependable pitch location algorithms.

Once you ask him to balance your equation, you can expect your movements to fall into a productive sequence, and your pitches travel into your intended target with uncanny regularity.

Want the sustainable pitch location needed to achieve your pitching dreams? Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

A 3×3 Rubik’s Cube Delivers a Genuine Pitching Process

Pro Pitching Institute

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

You’re handed a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube to solve.

If you’re like most people, you solve a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube by deciding which row to turn or which column to twist. This random process continues until you solve the cube or give up.

There’s another more reliable, extremely automatic, and very foolproof way to solve your cube. This process follows a simple algorithm, makes 18 twists/turns in a prescribed order, and turns the cube’s sides into solid colors.

This Rubik’s Cube progression leads to a functional pitching process.

Just like the Rubik’s Cube, the most common path to pitch location is to continually analyze your motion and make adjustments. All the while hoping your pitch location remains competitive enough to challenge the hitters you face.

Just the way the Rubik’s Cube algorithm controls the cube’s solution, your brain is hardwired to control your pitch location.

Fortunately, Coach Skip teaches 6 easily executed actions that, in a well-defined order, automatically, repeatedly, and spontaneously locate your pitches. Armed with Coach Skip’s proprietary pitching process, you can expect your pitch location to clear a path to your pitching dreams.

Proof: Starting Positions Determine Pitch Location

Pro Pitching Institute

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

As Water Flows …

When you start with the same amount of water in a bucket and use the same force to pour the water down an incline, gravity will produce the same shaped puddle every time.

Every time the amount of water or its force down the incline changes, gravity alters the water’s flow, and the shape of the final puddle as well.

… Your Pitching Motion Also Flows.

Think of …

Your starting position as a bucket of water before you pour it down the incline,
Your mechanics as the way gravity ends the water down the incline, and
Your pitch location is the puddle.

When you relate the water’s flow to your pitching motion, even the slightest change to your starting position or your stride tempo hurts your pitch location.

You constantly change your starting position and gravity not only changes your mechanics but alters your pitch location.

Improved Pitch Location

You produce the same starting position, come out of it in the same way, and your pitch location becomes unbelievably consistent.

However, when you end your starting position with your weight balanced over your back foot, your body wobbles, and your pitch location becomes much less predictable.

Want a more stable starting position and better pitch location? Contact Coach Skip.

Trust Your Body to Locate Your Pitches

Por Pitching Institute

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

Trust means you make the same actions, and you have the faith that your body will react in the same way all the time.

Pitch Location is Built Around Trust

Pitchers who end their stride with their hips and shoulders at different angles can trust their body will send their pitches directly into their intended target.

These pitchers trust their pitch location to keep most hitters off the base paths.

Misplaced Trust

Because most Pitchers end their stride with your front shoulder closed to their target, more hitters reach base than need be.

If you’re one of these Pitchers, you’re satisfied with merely getting your pitches into the strike zone.

However, until you learn to end your stride with your shoulders/hips at different angles, you can’t totally trust your pitch location.

Build Trust

To elevate your game, change your focus from landing your stride with a closed front shoulder to ending your stride with a hip/shoulder separation.

Make this transition and you can trust your body to use your pitch location to keep many more hitters off base.

Hip/shoulder separation takes 10 minutes or less to teach, is permanent, is repeatable and begins with the FREE pitch location tips Coach Skip presents on his website.

The Great Separation Fabrication

Pro Pitching Institute

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

Natural Separation

Balance on one foot, rotate your shoulders, then the instant your foot strikes the ground, your hips/shoulders end up at opposing angles and your back shoulder automatically swings forward.

Effective Pitching Separation

When you land your foot strike with enough separation between your hips and shoulders, your back shoulder whips your throwing arm into release.

Therefore, land your foot plant with sufficient hip/shoulder separation, and you can expect your lower body to send your pitches into your target.

The Pitching Separation Fabrication

Pitchers who end their front leg lift with their weight over their back foot create what they believe to be hip/shoulder separation by moving their throwing arm behind their body as they begin their trip down the mound.

When you generate this type of false separation, you lose your lower body and can’t know with any degree of certainty where any one pitch will end up.

Producing Hip/Shoulder Separation

Producing the authentic hip/shoulder separation needed to get your lower body to send your pitches into your target is a process.

You can get this process started by using the “FREE Pitch Location Tips” found on the Pro Pitching Institute website.

Conditions Determine Your Throwing Arm Path

Pro Pitching Institute

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

Standing is Different than Balancing

Since you spend most of your life with two feet planted firmly on the ground, you’re conditioned to expect your body to move the way you want all the time.

Therefore, on the surface, pitching should be simple … you see your target, and you send the ball directly into it.

However, when perched on one foot, you lose control of your arm movements and, unless you know how to manage your actions, miss your target much more often than you want.

Your Solution is Flawed!

When your results fail to meet your expectations, you search online blogs, websites, YouTube, and podcasts for ways to fix your results.

When closely examined, you’re still being fed the same false assumption that, even while balanced on one foot, you can control the way you move.

Continue with this approach and, like dangling a carrot in front of a horse, your pitching success will always be within sight, but will forever be out of reach.

Understanding Pitching Excellence

Pitching success comes from knowing how to manage the differences between the way your body works with both feet on the ground and when perched on one foot.

If you don’t know how to manage these differences, ask Coach Skip to show you how.

Pitching’s Correlations and Causation

Pro Pitching Institute

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

Your balance determines your results.

Your foot placements and the actions you take into your front leg lift determine your starting position balance.

Your balance at the top of your front leg lift creates your movements as you travel down the mound.

It’s your movements as you travel down the mound that produces your results.

There is a direct correlation between your mechanics and your pitching results, but don’t get fooled into thinking that your mechanics actually produce your results.

Circling back, what actually causes your pitching results are your actions into your front leg lift.

Correlation is Not Causation

The correlation between your mechanics and your pitching results creates a smokescreen where you believe your mechanics are more important than your balance into your starting position.

Once you stay focused on improving your balance into your front leg lift, your body will automatically and repeatedly produce the results you expect.

Any other approach and your pitching dreams will always be within sight, but forever slightly out of reach.

Lost on how to approach your front leg lift balance?

Cross the Line Between Trying and Doing

Cross this line and finally bring your pitching dreams into focus.

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

What is this line?

On one side of the line, you have your pitching dreams.

On the other side of this line, you’re trying to find a way to achieve your dreams.

Where’s Your Line?

Place a dot on a baseball and, with the dot facing up, put the baseball between your feet.

Now, get into your front leg lift and take a picture of your starting position.

Finally, with the picture in hand, draw a line from your nose through your belly button.

Is Your Line Working For or Against You?

When the line you draw is a vertical line that runs through your dot, your lower body will automatically produce the exceptional pitch location, throwing arm speed, and mechanics needed to realize your pitching dreams.

However, when your imaginary line misses the baseball dot, your dreams hinge upon finding some obscure, yet sustainable, mechanical combination.

Coach Skip’s Expertise is Spot On

Coach Skip has the pitching expertise to simply use your starting position to produce the repeatable pitch location, throwing arm speed, and mechanics you need to achieve your pitching dreams.

Can’t believe your pitching dreams are hidden within your starting position? … then dare Coach Skip to teach you a starting position proven to unlock your pitching future!

The Key to Pitch Location: Weight Distribution

Pro Pitching Institute

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

Walking is striding.

When you walk or stride, you naturally, instinctively use your opposing arm to offset your stride leg.

In pitching, as in walking, a Pitcher’s stride ends with their throwing arm pulling their back leg forward and the drag from their back leg creating their pitch location issues.

Rotation Produces Pitch Location

However, with rotation, your arms are no longer needed for balance.

Pitchers who end their front leg lift with their weight evenly distributed around their core can spin out of their front leg lift.

Natural and Automatic Pitch Location

Their spin tells their body, to avoid injury, to stride.

By turning their stride into a reaction, they end their stride with their back hip ahead of their throwing arm shoulder.

From there, their lower body uses their throwing arm to propel their pitches directly into their intended target with uncanny regularity.

Coach Skip Teaches Pitch Location

Once Coach Skip teaches you how to end your front leg lift with your weight evenly distributed around your core, you’re able to activate your lower body and repeatedly send your pitches into your target.

Obsessing Over “What You Do” is Unhealthy

Pro Pitching Institute

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

For every action – “how you do (something)” – there is a reaction – “what you do”.

Listen to Yourself

“What to do” Self-Talk – When you think in terms of your mechanics, you’re telling your body “what to do”. “Lengthen your stride”, “change your arm slot”, “tuck your glove hand”, etc. are all “what to do’s”.

“How to do” Self-Talk – Once you think in terms of (1) “moving” a particular body part (2) in a specific direction, you’re telling your body “how to do” something. “Move your leg out”, “ move your butt down”, “move your hands back”, etc. are all “how to do’s”.

In Pitching, There’s Only One “What to Do”

Your only “what to do” is to string together 6 well-sequenced “how to do’s” that’ll get your lower body to drive your results.

This is important … unless you’re laser-focused on moving your body parts in the right direction in the proper sequence, you’ll lose your lower body, struggle with your command, and turn pitching into a less-than-satisfying athletic pursuit.

Coach Skip Teaches “How to Do” What You Need to Do

Coach Skip teaches Pitchers like you “how to” string together the “how to do’s” that are guaranteed to clear the path to your pitching dreams.
