The precise positioning of the front knee relative to the front hip has a significant impact on a pitcher’s ability to maintain a coordinated motion, which in turn leads to highly accurate throws and improved command.
The Power of Proper Alignment
When your front knee is in front of your front hip, you create the optimal conditions for the rest of your body to contribute powerfully to the throw.
Sequential Engagement
This balanced landing allows you to correctly land your stride, effectively engage your lower body to power the throw, and create a more coordinated sequence of the energy flowing smoothly from the ground up.
Arm Efficiency
Because your lower body is properly controlling the movement and generating the primary force, your throwing arm naturally stays in front of your body. It enables you to deliver the ball with uncanny regularity and precision.
Trusting the Lower Body
Significantly missing the target is often a direct indication that your throwing arm went behind your body, signaling a breakdown in balance and sequence.
Pitch Smart
By ensuring the front knee stays in front of the hip, you’re more likely to consistently hit your target and have a proper command over your pitches.
