How your foot placements impact your pitching motion.
Based upon the
way your body work, your foot placements determine whether you keep your
glove arm free to trigger your lower body and your throwing arm available to instantaneously
respond to your lower body activity. Without the right foot placements, it
becomes a physical impossibility to engage your lower body while pitching.
Why you can’t ignore your foot placements?
Your foot placements the most overlooked, yet
controllable position, in your pitching motion.
When, as your front foot comes off the ground, your foot
placements cause your hips to tilt or rotate, you’re going to use your arms for
balance. Using your arms for balance means you lose location, your ball is flat
and your opponent controls you.
Lower body solutions.
During our “spot-coaching sessions”, we teach Pitchers to
begin with their feet under their hips and a back-leg position known to give
them a solid base of support. When we see the Pitcher takes his front foot off
the ground, we know, at the top of their front leg lift, you’ll keep their hips
level and their arms free to naturally encourage lower body engagement.
With lower body engagement comes sustainably excellent
pitching results.
