Science has a greater impact on
your pitching than you realize.
The Science of Pitching
Your Inner Ear
Your inner ear triggers your “fight or flight” response that, the
instant any movement works against the earth’s gravitational forces, gets your
body back in balance.
Applying Science to Your Pitching
Driving off the rubber.
Your back-leg drive working against gravity tells your inner ear
to trigger your “fight or flight” which uses your arms to get your body back in
balance.
Your stride into your foot strike.
Your “fight or flight” response continues to use your arms to
balance your body.
Your foot strike.
Your “fight or flight” response uses your back leg to offset your
forward momentum.
Your Throwing action and command.
The drag from your back leg on your throwing arm means you’ve lost
control over your throwing arm path.
Your Pitching solution.
We teach our students how to lift their front leg and move into
their foot strike without pushing against gravity. From there, we let science force your “fight
or flight” response to bring your throwing hand through very sustainable and
consistently tiny release window.
