Not only is your weight distribution controllable, but by
staying in balance, you keep your throwing arm free to instantly respond to
your lower body activity.
How your body works.
- When your body is in balance, your shoulders are level.
- Level shoulders allow your throwing arm to complete your delivery.
- Therefore, when your body is in balance, you’re able to complete your delivery.
- Your body uses your shoulders and arms like a trapeze artist uses their pole.
Weight over your back foot.
Ending your front leg lift with your weight over your back
foot promotes shoulder tilts.
With your weight over your back foot, you rely on a forward
weight shift to move your body toward your target. The instant your movements
create a forward weight shift becomes the instant your shoulders tilt.
Your lower body is responsible for leveling your shoulders. Once
your front foot gets back on the ground, your lower body pushes can level your
shoulders. However, due to the delay between your front foot contacting the
ground and your release, unless you’ve discovered a productive leg tempo, you
never really know where any one pitch will end up???
Weight centered in front of your back foot.
When you begin with your weight centered just in front of your
back foot, with the right movement sequence, you use your lower body for
balance, your shoulders remain level and your arms are free to move the way you
want.
Because your shoulders remain level into your foot plant,
your upper body instantly responds to your lower body activity. In the end, your
body naturally creates an extremely productive throwing reflex.
Once you make these movements and sequences the core of your
delivery, you come to expect every pitch to travel directly into your Catcher’s
mitt.
The Pro Pitching Institute “Benchmarks” promote level shoulders.
By
following the “benchmarks” outlined at the Pro Pitching Institute, you expect
your level shoulders to deliver every pitch directly into your Catcher’s
target!!!
