You want any change to your motion to do two things.
First, you want to feel like your release is less restricted.
Second, you want to see a larger portion of your pitches travel into your
intended target.
Balance predicts these outcomes.
The more your biological need for balance keeps your
throwing arm free to react to your lower body activity, the less restricted
your motion feels and, better yet, the more you can expect your pitches to end
up going where you want.
On the other hand, the more your biological need for balance
uses your throwing arm to offset your stride, the more stressful it becomes to
get your ball to end up where you want.
Leg lifts and balance
When your leg lift ends with your back knee to the second
base side of your back foot, you can spin into your stride, use your throwing
action to keep your body in balance and, on a regular basis, can expect your
pitches to travel into your target.
Contrary to this, when your leg lift ends with your back
knee over or in front of your back foot, you have to stride toward your target,
you use your throwing arm path to offset your stride and you never know where
any one pitch will end up.
