Are you “command ready”?


When you go directly from the top of your front leg lift into your throwing action, there’s an extremely high likelihood your throwing hand moves through the same release window on every pitch.

When you’re “command ready”, you end your starting position ready to bring your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch.

There are only 3 Starting Positions

You begin your movement toward the plate from one of 3 body positions.
- You end your front leg lift with your front knee behind your front hip.
- You can hold your front leg lift with your front knee well in front of your back.
- From the stretch, you end your pitch preparation with your feet wider than your hips.

Hand Separations Test Each Starting Position

To test each starting position, get into the position and separate your hands.
Nothing happens when …
- You end your front leg lift with your front knee behind your front hip.
- From the stretch, you end your pitch preparation with your feet wider than your hips.
But your body makes a throwing action when ...
- You can hold your front leg lift with your front knee to the home plate side of your back.

Hand Separation Reactions Predict Command

Since your body is an interconnected system that moves as one and only reacts to itself …
When “nothing happens” …
- Your body needs to prepare for ball release. In this instance, there’s a huge chance your preparation changes your release window from one pitch to the next.
When you go directly into a throwing action …
- There’s an extremely high likelihood your throwing hand moves through the same release window on every pitch.

The Pro Pitching Institute Makes You “Command Ready”

The Pro Pitching Institute presents the 6 “Building Blocks” that’ll allow your hand separation to automatically bring your throwing hand through the same release window on every pitch. Out of the Starting Position the Pro Pitching Institute creates, no matter the pitch called, you can expect the ball to travel directly into your intended target with very late movement and a deceptive arm action.
