Your Throwing Arm Finds Your Target!

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

Your good or bad balance confirms a good or bad throwing Action.

Bad – “Stride THEN Throw”

Your Front Knee going behind your Front Hip makes your Body out of balance, and your Front Leg ready to stride.

During your stride, your stride brings your Back Knee forward.

As you stride, your Back Knee brings your weight ahead of your Back Foot.

Your weight ahead of your Back Foot means your stride Foot lands, your Throwing Arm delivers the ball, and your Glove Arm merely tucks under your armpit.

You “Stride THEN Throw’ and your ball goes into your target by chance.

Good – “Stride AND Throw”

However, when your Front Knee stays in front of your Front Hip, and your Back Leg is flexed, your Body is in balance.

As your Glove Hand extends toward the target, to load your entire Body, your Back Leg bends even more.

Your Glove Hand rolls and points toward the target, your Lower Body rotates toward your target, and your Throwing Hand begins its journey to the plate.

You “Stride AND Throw”, your motion becomes one, and your ball goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

Your Hand Separation Occurs Before Your Stride!

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

After your Starting Position, your Hands and Stride work together for location.

What Not to Do!

Your Hands separating after your Stride means your Lower Body acts as a drag to your Throwing Arm.

Your Lower Body lands before your Throwing Arm initiates its motion.

Besides your Lower Body drag, the typical landing for your Front Foot is a diagonal or closed to your target.

When your Lower Body does land, your Lower Body finds its balance point and your Throwing Arm frees to get the baseball to your target.

Your Throwing Hand movement is governed by the amount of drag, your Body position, and your Throwing Arm movement.

What to Do!

Your Hands separating before your Stride means your Lower Body and Hands work together to get the ball into your target.

Your Lower Body, your Stride, and your Glove Hand engage to make sure your Front Toes point to the target.

Your Front Foot landing with your Front Toes pointing toward the target acts to get your Body to get the ball to your target.

The ball goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

Your Shoulders Need to be In Line with Your Target!

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

Your Shoulders are meant to naturally stay in line with your Hips.

What Not to Do?

When you begin your motion, your Front Foot being out of line with your Front Foot, or your Front Feet too far apart naturally cause your Front Knee to move behind your Front Hip.

With your Front Knee behind your Front Knee, your Shoulders are automatically out of line with your target.

When you land your Foot Strike, you cause your Shoulders and your Hips to instinctively get back in line.

You clear your Front Shoulder and deliver the ball with just your Upper Body.

During this process, you lose your Lower Body, and your ball goes to your target with uncontrollable location.

What to Do!

Instead, in your Starting Position, you want your Front Knee to stay ahead of your Front Hip.

From your Starting Position, your Shoulders are in line with your target.

When you land your Foot Strike, your Shoulders and your Hips are already in line and prompt your free Glove Hand to fire your Lower Body.

Your Lower Body sends the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

Your Hips Need to Level!

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

To get into your Starting Position, you lift your Front Leg to begin your motion, and, with that, your Hips move.

Your Uneven Hips

When your Feet are too far apart, a proper proprioceptive reaction makes your Front Leg bring your Front Hip above your Back Hip.

Your unlevel Hips need to be level at release.

As another proprioceptive reaction, your Stride fixes your motion.

As you Stride, Your Front Hip drops, get in line with your Back Hip, and they are ready to fire.

The problem arises when your Hips follow your Throwing Hand and the ball goes into a target area the size of your release window.

Your Even Hips

With your Feet close together, you rotate your Front Thigh and limit your Front Hip to be even with your Back Hip.

Your Body is in balance, your Glove Hand moves ahead of your Front Foot, and your Hips being level build your Lower Body response.

To get the ball to your target, your Glove Hand initiates your Lower Body, your Lower Body pulls your Throwing Hand into your target, and the ball goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

Your Proprioceptive Reactions Put the Ball in Your Target!

Your Body contains an automatic balance mechanism that keeps you in balance even in your normal life.

Here’s how this automatic balance mechanism guides your pitch location.

Bad Reactions

Due to this automatic balance mechanism, with their Feet too far apart, you routinely place your Front Knee behind your Front Hip.

Your Front Leg movement forces your weight over your Back Foot and your Stride forces your weight to move toward your target.

Again, due to your automatic balance mechanism, your weight moving toward your target prompts your Throwing Arm to go behind your Body.

You land your Stride, and your Throwing Arm frees to deliver the ball near your target.

Good Reactions

However, due to this same automatic balance mechanism, with their Feet close together, you spontaneously place your Front Knee in front of your Front Hip.

To maintain your balance, you then lift your Front Leg, your Back Leg drifts down, and your Glove Hand comes forward.

A Glove Hand explosion moves your weight forward and prompts a delivery where your Throwing Hand comes to life and sends your pitch to your target with uncanny regularity.

Your Starting Position Puts the Ball in Your Target!

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

Your motion revolves around the balance in your Starting Position.

Suspect Arm Action

Your Starting Position begins out of balance and shifts with each phase of your motion.

When you go into your Front Foot Lift, you weight gets balanced over your Back Foot.

Once you begin your motion, your Throwing Arm going behind your Body counterbalances your Front Foot movement.

Your Front Foot finally hits the ground, and your Throwing Arm works alone to bring the ball near your target.

Good Arm Action

Your Starting Position balances your weight just in front of your Back Foot.

As you go into your Front Leg Lift, your weight stays just in front of your Back Foot.

When you begin your motion, your weight stays just in front of your Back Foot and your Throwing Arm naturally stays in front of your Body.

With your weight still in front of your Back Foot, your Throwing Arm mirrors your Glove Hand action and, at Foot Strike, reacts to your Glove Arm.

Your Glove Arm flipping and pointing to your target fires the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

Your Glove Hand Puts the Ball in Your Target!

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

A proper Glove Hand plays a huge role balancing your Foot Strike and getting the ball to your target.

An Out-of-Place Glove Hand

In your Starting Position, when your Front Knee goes behind your Front Hip, your Glove Hand is used only for balance and is clearly an obstacle to your location.

Without Glove Hand involvement, you land your Stride, and your Throwing Arm alone delivers your pitch.

Your Throwing Arm working alone pulls the ball to your target and, unless you have a feel for the target, causes you to lose your location.

Properly Placed Glove Hands

However, in your Starting Position, when your Front Knee stays in front of your Front Hip, your Glove Hand is free to sweep across your Body while your Front Foot remains off the ground.

Your Glove Hand causes your Hips to fire, your Hips get your Front Foot to land, and your Throwing Arm to come through to deliver the ball.

Your Eyes looking at a spot within your Catcher’s mitt take the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

FREE Instruction When We Can’t Get Your Proprioceptive Responses in Line!

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

Proprioception is a sixth sense that moves your Body from one balanced position to another.

When in balance, you control your Body movements, but, when your Body is out of balance, your Body parts take on a life of their own.

Three Proprioceptive Reactions

With your Feet more than one baseball width apart, as you lift your Front Foot, you make a proprioceptive reaction.

Your Front Knee naturally goes behind your Front Foot.

Again, your proprioceptive reactions come into play as your Front Foot comes forward.

Your Front Foot takes over your motion and you land your Stride to get back into balance.

Once in balance, you deliver the ball to your target at a random location.

One Proprioceptive Reaction

However, your Feet staying one baseball width apart puts your Body in balance.

Your Front Knee Lift rotates your Front Thigh to keep your Body in balance.

Your Glove Hand moves with your Glove Hand Palm facing your target.

You flip your Glove Hand Palm to deliver the ball to your target.

You deliver the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

FREE Instruction When We Can’t Get Your Body in Balance!

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

You only control your actions when your Body is in balance.

Poor Balance

When your Front Foot goes to the Home Plate side of your Front Knee, your weight balances over your Back Foot.

You move from your Front Foot lift to your Foot Strike, and you discover your Throwing Arm controls your actions as you go into your Foot Strike.

Once you land your Foot Strike, your Throwing Hand frees itself to deliver the ball.

Your Throwing Hand works alone to release the ball and misses your target more often than throwing the ball directly to your target.

The Balance You Need

When your Front Knee finishes to the Home Plate side of your Front Foot, your weight balances just in front of your Back Foot.

To keep your weight balanced from your Front Knee finishing to Home Plate side of your Front Foot, your next action is to bend your Back Knee and, at the same time, extend your Glove Arm.

When your Glove Arm naturally goes Palm up, your Throwing Arm fires the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

FREE Instruction When We Can’t Get Your Weight Balanced!

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

The best Pitchers have their weight create an environment where they deliver the ball automatically to their target.

Bad Balance

You place your weight over or in front of your Back Foot and your delivery is out of balance.

To hit your target, the only use of your Glove Arm is to keep you closed.

Essentially, your Foot Strike clears your Glove Arm, and your Throwing Arm makes a throwing action.

Your Throwing Hand works alone, and your command gets spotty.

Great Balance

However, placing your weight on the Second Base side of your Back Foot keeps your Body in balance.

To hit your target, your Glove Arm is free to come across your Body and your Lower Body gets involved with your motion.

Almost simultaneously, your Foot Strike pulls your Lower Body forward and your Throwing Hand into release.

You hit your target with uncanny regularity.

Creating Good Balance

Your Feet are placed one baseball width apart and you flared your Knees outward.

At this point, if you don’t straighten your Back Leg, your Back Knee begins over the Little Toes of your Back Foot.
