Balanced Starting Positions

Balanced Starting Position

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

Why?

To get your pitch to the target with uncanny regularity, you must keep your weight back, have your Glove Hand prompt your Lower Body, and your Lower Body pulls your Throwing Hand through to the target.

Your Body’s movement prompts your Throwing Arm to deliver the ball to your target.

Anything other than your weight back stimulates a series of at least 20 reactionary instances that’ll cause your pitch to not hit your target.

Bad Starting Positions

Any position where your Front Knee is behind your Front Hip is an instance where your ball misses your target more than hits your target.

You land your Stride, your Front Hip catches up with your Body, and you deliver the ball like you were throwing darts.

Some of your pitches hit the target, but many more missed.

Good Starting Position

The best position is keeping your Front Knee in front of your Front Hip and your Front Heel in line with your Back Toe.

Your Glove Arm naturally turns your Lower Body, your Shoulders follow, and your Throwing Arm fires your pitch.

Your Stride and Throwing Action become one motion.

A Motion Producing One Result

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

Easy Balance

You want your Front Heel to begin close to your Back Heel.

– With your Heels close to each other, when you lift your Front Foot, you preserves your balance, and you deliver the ball with your Glove Hand.

– Without your Heel-to-Heel relationship, your weight shifts, your Head moves, and your land your Stride before your Throwing Arm delivers the ball.

The easier way to get your Body in balance is with your Front Heel near your Back Heel.

Your Throwing Arm

You want your Glove Hand to prompt your Lower Body to fire your Throwing Arm.

– When the Pitcher’s motions are in balance, their Glove Hand tips their weight and naturally turns. They land their Foot Strike, and their Throwing Arm sends the ball to their target with uncanny regularity.

– When the Pitcher’s motion contains an imbalance, their motion is much simpler. The Pitcher lands their Stride, and their Throwing Arm sends the ball to their target. The number of pitches going into their target is like throwing a dart at a dart board … sometimes you hit your target, but most of the time you miss.

Make your Throwing Arm involved by your Body being in balance.

The Desired “Pitching Process” You’re Searching For

Pro Pitching Institute is one of the top 100 baseball blogs on the Internet. Finding your target with uncanny regularity comes from being “in balance” (starting your motion with your Front Knee in front of your Front Hip).

Your Front Knee getting behind your Front Hip is an “out of balance” or “balanced” position.

Your Body is Always Getting “In Balance”

Your Body always does several natural things to get back to “in balance”. The instant you’re “out of balance” becomes the instant your Body makes these adjustments.

What does happen – What should happen

Hips follow Glove Arm – Your Glove Arm triggers your Lower Body.
Stride and Throw – Your Throwing Action is part of your entire motion.
Front Foot before Stride – Your Glove Arm needs to move before your Front Foot.
Heels too far apart – Your Heels being close creates an “in balance” motion.
Throwing Arm trigger – Your “in balance” motion has your Glove Arm promoting your Throwing Action.
Uneven Hips – Your Lower Body rotates.
Late Hands separation – Your Hands need to separate before your Stride.
Front Knee position – Your Back Knee begins toward Second Base.
Shoulder alignment – Your Shoulders need to be aligned with your Hips.
Stride timing – Your Stride needs to happen before your Hands move.
Stride with Feet first – You need your Front Foot to move after your Hands.
Throwing Hand Offsetting Stride – Your Throwing Hand needs to stay in front of your Body.
Bent at Waist – Your Body is vertical going into your release.
Throwing Arm initiates Throwing Action – Your Glove Arm initiates your Throwing Action.

Add only five segments to your starting “Pitching Process” and you stay “in balance”, you send your ball to your target with uncanny regularity, and your motion should never change!

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you these 5 Segments on every motion, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

SHOULDERS, COMMAND, AND YOUR LOWER BODY

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

Shoulders In Line

As you move into your release, your Shoulders being in line with your target promotes your Lower Body and locates your pitches.

Moving into your Stride with your Shoulders in line also brings your Lower Body in line.

This loosens your Glove Arm to get your Lower Body engaged in your Throwing Action.

Your Lower Body pulls your Throwing Hand into release and drives the ball into your target with uncanny regularity.

Shoulders Out of Line

Your Shoulders out of line signifies your Lower Body needs to get in line with your Shoulders.

The only way to do this is to land your Stride.

With your Front Foot on the ground, your Shoulders move in line, and you make your Throwing Action.

Your Glove Arm follows your Throwing Arm, and your Lower Body is there to stabilize your actions.

Your Front Foot on the ground means your Glove Arm, instead of firing your Lower Body, is used to balance your motion.

Get “Legitimate” Shoulders

To find your target with uncanny regularity, you want your Glove Arm to prompt your Lower Body, and your Lower Body to start your Throwing Action.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you to begin with your Shoulders in line on every motion, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

“Legitimate Internal Rotation” and Your Glove Hand

Preliminaries

You either don’t realize your Body maintains your balance or your produce balance.

In “Legitimate Internal Rotation”, you produce balance. In “False Internal Rotation”, you forget about your balance.

“Legitimate Internal Rotation”

When you produce balance, your Front Leg lift mirrors a balanced position.

From this position, your Glove Hand moves first, and the rest of your Body follows your Glove Hand movement.

Your Glove Hand movement takes you into your Stride, and, as a natural balanced reaction, you fire your Hips.

Your Hip movement pulls your Throwing Hand forward and your pitch goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

“False Internal Rotation”

From your Front Leg lift to your Stride, your natural response becomes your Throwing Hand going behind your Body.

To keep your Body in balance, your Throwing Hand essentially offsets your Stride.

The weight from your Stride causes your Front Foot to hit the ground, your Throwing Arm delivers the ball, and your Hips follow.

Your Throwing Arm working by itself expands your target area.

FOOT DISTANCE AND COMMAND*

Preliminaries

Your motion depends on your where your Feet touch the ground.

The correct Foot Positioning promotes great Glove Work and exceptional command.

However, when your Foot Positioning is off, your Body moves out of balance, your Glove Work is reactionary, and your command suffers.

Your Foot Position

Your good Front and Back Heels produce balance.

With your Heels too far apart, your motion loses its balance, your Glove Work becomes nonexistent, and your command suffers.

However, your Heels in line with your target and one baseball width apart keep your motion in balance, your Glove Hand promotes your motion, and your command produces with uncanny regularity.

Your Glove Work

Your Glove Work takes your Body out of balance.

Most important is that your Glove Work causes your Lower Body to open. land your stride, and pull your Throwing Arm into release.

Your Lower Body drives your Throwing Action, and your Throwing Action takes the ball directly to your target.

Need Your Foot Positioning?

If you want your Body to be in balance. drive your pitch, and your command to hit your target, the Pro Pitching Institute is here for you.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you to begin your motion with your Feet one baseball width apart on every pitch, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Your Glove Hand and Command

Your Glove Hand Palm

Your Glove Hand Palm flipping up powers your Throwing Action.

It’s the timing of your Glove Hand Palm that determines the size of your target area.

Your Glove Hand makes your target area the size of your Glove all the way to nonexistent.

No Glove Hand

When you begin your motion with your Front Foot behind your Front Hip or your Front Foot wider than your Shoulders, your Glove Hand Palm reacts to your motion.

Your Glove Hand is used for balance, goes the way your Body determines, and essentially moves where needed.

Your Throwing Hand delivers the ball into a target area that’s larger than a controlled Glove Hand Palm naturally produces.

An Ideal Glove Hand

Ideally, you want your Body to be in balance.

Being in a balanced state means your Front Foot is even with your Back Toes and your Front Toe point toward your target.

Your Glove Hand naturally turns over, you Stride, and your Throwing Hand delivers the ball to your target.

Your ball goes directly to your target.

Better Command

Your Glove Hand Palm regularly places the ball in your target with uncanny regularity.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you a Glove Arm movement to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.
