Knowledge
Base: Inertia describes an object’s
resistance to change in motion.
Momentum
describes an object’s movement.
Momentum
Hurts Location
When your delivery is driven by your movement down
the mound, your shoulder rotation produces yours ball release.
Unless your stride tempo is exactly the same from one
pitch to the next, your release point will continually change, and you can’t
know with any certainty where any one pitch will end up.
Inertia
Produces Location
When, out of your front leg lift, you open your front
shoulder, you spin down the mound, your foot plant stops your rotation and your
ball release becomes an instinctive reaction.
Once you know how to duplicate your change in
direction from one pitch to the next, you can expect your pitches to travel
directly into your target.
Finding
Location Solutions
With momentum, your location depends upon your stride tempo.
Anyone can ask any Pitcher to make their stride tempo the same on every pitch,
but we have yet to find a way to reproduce the same tempo from one pitch to the
next.
With inertia, your location comes from ending your front leg
lift with your weight evenly distributed around your core. Ending your front
leg lift with your weight centered around your core is an extremely teachable skill.
Therefore, instead of hoping your ball goes where you want, location becomes an
expectation.
