How your body works.
- Every movement, every pitch result is a reaction to a previous action.
- Your body position at the top of your front leg lift determines how your body reacts going into your ball release.
- Your legwork into your front leg lift determines your body position into the top of your front leg lift.
- Every action ends with your body in balance.
Your pitch results.
Your lower body whips your throwing arm into release.
Your stride interrupts your lower body rotation which forces
your body to do one thing and one thing only. To get itself back in balance,
your body demands your throwing arm makes a spontaneous reaction.
When you put your body in this position, you show your
opponent a fastball arm speed where, as a reaction to your lower body
interruption, your throwing hand comes through a consistently tiny release
window.
Change your grip, change your release, let your body’s
reaction show your opponent a fastball arm speed and you challenge every hitter
to make solid contact with any one of your pitches.
Your body gets itself back in balance and then you throw.
Your movement down the mound ends with your body centering
your weight between your feet.
Once in balance, your throwing action turns into an
independent action and your throwing arm path depends upon your body position
at foot plant.
With an independent throwing action, you never know where
each pitch will end up, the best hitter see you tip your pitches and you
measure your success by your ability to survive your failures.
Your front leg lift.
You front leg lift body position forces you to use your
arms for balance.
When your front leg lift ends with your weight over your
back foot, to move down the mound, you must shift your weight toward your
target.
The instant your shift your weight toward your target your
lower body moving ahead of your upper body creates an imbalance.
You front leg lift body position keeps your arms free to
move anyway you want.
When your front leg lift ends with your weight centered
between your knees, your arms remains free to move the way you want.
You make a planned glove side action that’ll rotate your
body down the mound.
Your legwork.
Your legwork causes your hips to rotate or your weight to
shift from home to second.
As your front foot leaves the ground, when your foot
placements create a hip rotation or some sort of weight shift, you end your
front leg lift with all your weight over your back foot.
Your legwork keeps your weight evenly distributed around
your core.
As your front foot leaves the ground, when your foot
placements eliminate any chance your hips swivel or your weight moves from
front to back, you end your front leg lift with your weight centered between
you knees.
Fast track your improvement.
Lots of people focus on how they move down the mound, but
to excel on the mound, all you need is a laser focus on your footwork. Unsure
