Weight Distribution: The Secret to Consistent Throws

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

If you’ve been struggling to hit your target regularly, the culprit might be your weight distribution. Understanding and correcting your weight placement significantly improves your accuracy and power.

The Problem: Weight in Front

When your weight shifts forward, your throwing arm is forced to work harder to compensate for the imbalance.

Your arm may struggle to find the target, resulting in missed throws. Your weight forward position limits your power generation, leading to weaker throws. Overcompensating with your arm puts unnecessary strain on your shoulder and elbow.

The Solution: Weight on Your Back Leg

The key to consistent and powerful throws is to center your weight between your feet, with a slight emphasis on your back leg. This balanced position allows your throwing arm to work efficiently and effectively.

Start with a balanced stance, feet shoulder-width apart. As you begin throwing, keep your weight back onto your back leg.

Use your lower body to generate power, driving your weight forward through your front leg as you release the ball. Finish your throw with a smooth follow-through, ensuring your weight remains balanced.
