The lower body driving through the core and into the throwing hand optimizes pitching performance.
Balance is Critical
The position of the feet significantly influences the front knee’s position, overall balance, power, and accuracy.
The placement of the front knee in relation to the front hip is crucial for engaging the core.
Weight Distribution
As well as balance, proper weight distribution is essential core engagement.
As the pitcher strides, weight shifts progressively to through the core, creating a counterforce for upper body rotation, and is vital for generating torque and velocity.
Core Engagement
Legitimate core rotation occurs when the front knee stays in front of the front hip and the lower body moves through the core to the throwing arm.
A strong core acts as the body’s stabilizer, preventing excessive rotation, maintaining postural control, and generating power and accuracy.
This legitimate rotation efficiently transfers energy from the lower body to the upper body, maximizing force production, and promoting better balance and power.
