Why Do Most Coaches Fail to Teach “Good”?

Most Coaches miss the fact that, when a Person is perched on one foot, the Individual’s hips and shoulders move as one.

Few Coaches seem to realize that, when a Person stands on one foot and is asked to move their hips, their hips won’t turn (can’t turn) until the Individual moves their shoulders.

Without this understanding, most Pitching Coaches allow their Students to end their front leg lift with their weight over their back foot.

They force the Pitcher’s hips and shoulders to move down the mound as a single unit, and effectively eliminate the lower body torque the Pitcher needs to send their fastballs directly into their intended target.

Throwing Hand Control, Balance, and Command

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you Throwing Hand movement, balance, and command.

Preliminaries

Your Starting Position impacts your Throwing Hand.

The correct Throwing Hand movement promotes balance and command.

However, when your Throwing Hand merely reacts to your Starting Position, your Body moves out of balance, and your command suffers.

Poor Throwing Hand Movement

When your Front Leg is behind your Front Hip, your weight is over your Back Foot, and your Front Leg is forced to move first.

Your Front Leg takes you out of your Starting Position, and your Hands keep your Body in balance.

Your Hands keeping your Body in balance has your Throwing Hand acting on its own.

Each different pitch you throw will have a slightly different release point and arm speed.

Good Throwing Hand Control

However, when your Front Leg is even with your Front Hip, your weight is center right in front of your Back Foot, and things change dramatically.

Your Glove Hand takes your motion out of balance and fires the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

No matter the grip, your Throwing Hand keeps the batter guessing about the pitch by showing the Hitter a constant fastball speed!

Balance, Command, and Your Glove Hand Movement

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you Glove Hand movement, balance, and command.

Preliminaries

Your Starting Position impacts your Glove Hand movement.

The right Glove Hand movement indicates balance.

However, when your Glove Hand merely reacts to your Starting Position, your Body moves out of balance and your command suffers.

No Glove Hand Movement

With bad Glove Hand movement, your Glove Hand reacts to your Hips movement.

Your Glove Hand takes on a path of its own and fires the ball to a point between your natural release point and the spot where you want your ball to go.

Your Glove Hand release places the ball in a location where the Hitter drives the ball, or lets the pitch go.

The Right Glove Hand Movement

Your good Starting Position focuses your weight just in front of Back Foot and your Front Leg lift keeps your weight just in front of your Back Foot.

Your Body’s good position means your Glove Hand drives your Throwing Hand into release.

Your Glove Hand Palm moving up takes the ball into your target with uncanny regularity!

When you begin with your Shoulders anything about level, your body makes an autocorrection.

Your natural adjustment skews your command.

Have your Shoulders level and your command improves.

Your good posture builds an advantageous location.

Lower Body Command

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you “Stride and Throw”.

Throwing Arm Command

When your Throwing Hand keeps your Body in balance, your Throwing Action involves your Throwing Arm.

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

Entire Body Command

However, when your Body is in balance, your Lower Body produces your command.

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

Hand Separation

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you Hand Separation.

What Not to Do!

Your Hands separating after your Stride stops your Lower Body from triggering your location.

Without your Lower Body, you use your Throwing Hand to command your pitches.

What to Do!

An ideal Hand Separation has your Hands separating before you begin your Stride.

Your Lower Body engages, and the ball goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

Shoulder Alignment

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you Shoulder alignment.

What Not to Do?

Your Shoulders stay in line with your Hips.

The instant your Front Knee moves behind your Front Hip your Shoulders fly out of line and make it more difficult for you to hit your spots.

What to Do!

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

Your Shoulders stay in line and your Lower Body locates your pitches with uncanny regularity.

Level Hips

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you how to level your hips.

Your Hips

Uneven Hips at the top of your Front Leg Lift take your motion out of balance.

At the top of your Front Leg lift, you want your Front Hip to be even with your Back Hip.

How?

You get your Hips to be level by keeping your Front Knee in front of your Front Hip and your Front Foot in front of Back Foot.

In this way, your Hips are level, and the ball goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

Accomplishing This?

Want to end your Starting Position with your Hips level?

Throwing Action

My name is Coach Skip and I’m about to teach you a “balanced” Throwing Action.

Starting Position

Your Starting Position determines your Throwing Action.

Bad Arms

Your Throwing Arm going behind your Body offsets your Starting Position and you see fewer pitches going into your target.

Good Arms

Your Throwing Arm ending up in front of your Body gives you a balanced Throwing Action.

Your Throwing Arm reacts to your Glove Arm and more pitches end up in your target.

Foot Strike

My name is Coach Skip, and you’re going to learn about a “balanced” Stride.

An Out-of-Balance Foot Strike

At the end of your Stride, your Throwing Arm reacts to your Body’s position.

When your Foot Strike position is out of balance, your release is spotty at best.

Balanced Foot Strikes

Land your Stride with your Foot Strike in balance and your Throwing Action reacts a lot differently.

Your ball ends up in the target with uncanny regularity.
