Pitching: Your next motion will contain a critical error.

Everyday pitching stability.

Your base of support is the area between your feet.  You’re most stable when you center your weight in the middle of your support base. You move your weight outside your base of support and you throw yourself out of balance.

Pitching stability.

When pitching, because you have only one foot on the ground, your base of support transfers to your knees. The wider the distance between your knees, the more you’ll be able to keep your weight centered between your knees, the more often you end your front leg lift in a stable position.

Pitching instability.

When you let your front knee come behind your front hip, your base of support becomes your back foot. Even though, with all your weight over your back foot and without any distance between your knees, you feel balanced at the top of your front leg lift, your front leg lift promotes instability.

Why is pitching stability important?

Begin your movement toward the plate from an unstable front leg lift and only after you get both feet back on the ground and move your weight back to center of your base of support can your throwing arm complete your delivery.

Begin from a stable position and your throwing arm is always free to react to your movements.
