How would you do against better hitters?

Anytime you deliver the ball directly into a target placed in an unhittable spot with late movement and with an arm speed that makes the pitch look like a fast ball, your opponent will struggle to make solid contact with the pitch.

How often do you miss your target over the plate?

Mature hitters wait for you to miss your target over the plate.

When, as you move down the mound, gravity uses your throwing arm to offset your forward movement, your release window changes from one pitch to the next and the likelihood you miss your target over the plate increases.

When gravity ends your delivery by using your throwing arm action to stabilize your body, gravity brings your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch and you’re less likely to miss your target over the plate.

How much late ball movement does each pitch produce?

To dominate, you want your opponent to think the ball will be in one location when it always ends up in a completely different location.

The more energy your throwing arm puts into every pitch, the later the ball movement.

When you land in a balanced “power position”, the energy you direct into each pitch comes from your upper body. When you use gravity to whip your throwing hand into release, you increase your throwing arm speed which creates the late ball movement that’ll challenge any hitter to make solid contact with the ball.

Do you always display fastball arm speed?

To dominate, you change your grip, you change your release and you show your opponent a fastball arm speed on every pitch. Do this and you challenge every hitter to make solid contact with each pitch.

When you land in a balance “power position”, based upon the pitch called, your arm speed will change. The change may be slight, but, to a mature hitter, even a marginal arm speed change is noticeable and enough for the hitter to know how to do some damage.

When gravity uses your throwing arm action to stabilize your body, no matter the pitch called or the hitter’s maturity, your opponent always thinks a fastball is coming.

Stats and isolated performances produce false reads.

Good stats and superior performances are great, but to see these same results at the next level, you need to know how to use gravity to produce superior location, later ball movement and the perception of a fastball arm speed to keep every hitter off-balance on every pitch.
