In pitching, less is more.

If you use your time wisely, once your Team is cleared to go back to the diamond, you can have better pitch location than when you left.

Your motion’s physical reality

Physically, your body works like the chain reaction you see when dominos fall. One domino causes the next to fall which spurs the next one to fall. This pattern continues until there are no more dominos.

Unlike the physical universe, anytime your body senses you’re about to fall over, your subconscious mind is going to use your throwing arm to keep you upright.

However, just like the dominos, when, at any one point, your body changes its position, you completely change and totally lose control of your throwing arm path.

Remove any imbalance and you rely on a spontaneous throwing action to deliver your pitches directly into your target.

How do you turn your throwing action into a natural reaction?

You start by realizing gravity impacts your pitching chain at your front leg lift, hand separation and into your throwing action.

This is your recipe for expecting your pitches to end up where you want.

You start by making a slow-motion delivery.

Should your motion stop, and this is the hardest part, you need to forget everything everyone says you need to do and start listening to what your body tells you to do.

Your mission becomes eliminating any movement you think creates even the slightest imbalance.

You continue doing this until you find the right combination of footwork, front leg lift and hand separation that, without stopping, forces every slow-motion delivery to end with a throwing action.

Accomplish this and, after your forced hiatus, you’ll come back to the mound with better pitch location than ever!

The choice you make today determines your pitching future.

After 25+ years of teaching Pitchers how to end their slow-motion delivery with a throwing action, we know how to read what your body is saying.

We can use what your body says to teach you the footwork, front leg lift and separation that’ll produce the spontaneous pitch location you’ve been searching for all along.
