Without any consideration for pitch location, the
pitching culture urges you to maximize your velocity. Most pitchers, unfortunately, make this theirfocus.
Velocity with location comes from …
o Using your footwork to keep your hips level.
o Using your entire body to enhance your velocity.
o Throwing through a naturally productive arm slot.
o Using your eyes to fine tune your location within your target area.
o Continually moving through a Tommy John resistant delivery.
o Knowing your combined velocity and location lets your immediately compete at the next level.
o Always keeping your opponent off balance.
o Elevating your performances way above ordinary.
o Relies on a very repeatable execution.
o Knowing you're going to dominate.
Velocity without location comes from a casual approach to your footwork. You ...
o Let you footwork use your throwing arm for balance.
o Use
your upper body to create your velocity.
o Throw
through a naturally unproductive arm slot.
o Use
your eyes to find your target area.
o Become an extreme risk for a Tommy John breakdown.
o Hope
your velocity is enough to get you noticed.
o Never
fool a patient hitter who waits for your next pitch to miss over the plate.
o Compete
against every other pitcher who's velocity driven, but not against pitchers with fastball command.
o Rely
on eye-to-hand coordination for your survival.
o Hope
you do well.
Instead of working on your velocity, you realistically have a better chance of reaching the highest levels by, instead of your footwork managing you, managing your footwork.
