Why you can’t locate your pitches?

Pitch location is built around dynamic balance, nature’s physical forces and the way your body works.

- Dynamic balance is balance while moving.
- Your most influential physical force is gravity.
- Your mind is built to keep your body in balance.

How these factors interact with one another

Let’s use riding a bike to demonstrate how these 3 factors tie together.

Riding a bike is a dynamically balanced action.

- Unless the ground is banked, anytime you take a turn, you can’t help but lean in the opposite direction.
- Should your front wheel run over a stone, you can’t stop from using your front wheel to keep you from falling over.

Therefore, the way you react to your environment keeps you safe, but, in the process, you lose control of how your body moves.

Why you  can’t control your throwing arm path?

In each of these easily corrected instances, the environment your movements create cause you to lose control of your throwing arm path.

- From the stretch, you begin with your feet wider than your hips, you stagger your feet or you begin your motion with your glove hand to the second base side of center.
- From the wind-up, you begin with both heels parallel to the rubber or your rocker step takes your front foot behind your back foot.

In each instance, your mind demands you end your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot.

With your weight over your back foot, to move into your delivery, you must shift your weight toward your target. In the process, gravity alerts your mind about your weight shift, uses your throwing arm for balance and makes it impossible to know with any certainty where any one pitch ends up????

Fixes are simple

The good news is that positions are easily corrected and, by doing so, your ball will travel directly into your intended target much more often.

Wondering how to use your movements to produce a more sustainable throwing arm path? Let’s talk.
