Your Front Knee Position Determines Command.

 You may not realize it, but your front knee position at the top of your front leg lift determines how often your pitches end up where you want.

Front Knee Behind Front Shoulder.

End your front leg lift with your front knee behind your front shoulder, you force your throwing arm to offset your stride, and you won’t complete your delivery until your body stops using your throwing arm for balance.

Your throwing arm moving behind your body means, unless you’re lucky enough to find the right stride tempo, you won’t know where any single pitch will end up.

Front Knee in Front of Front Shoulder.

On the other hand, end your leg lift with your front knee in line with your front shoulder, and, as you move down the mound, your throwing arm naturally stays in front of your body.

With your throwing arm free to respond to your lower body, your throwing action automatically sends your pitches where you want with uncanny regularity.

Instantly Improve Your Command.

Here’s a tip … end your front leg lift with your front knee in line with your front shoulder and, without doing anything else, watch your command improve.

Well-Planned Foot Placements Boost Command

In pitching, as in everyday life, your body always returns to a balanced state, and, when in balance, you have a choice how you want to move your arms.

Why Your Pitches Miss Your Target?

There's a good chance you're swinging your front leg into your front leg lift and, to move down the mound, you have to reverse your front leg swing.

When your front leg swing sends your Body toward your target, your Body uses your throwing arm for balance, you lose control of your throwing arm path, and you can only hope your ball ends up where you want.

Command Your Pitches.

On the other hand, your command immediately improves when your foot placements allow you to lift your front leg into your front leg lift.

By eliminating your front leg swing, you free your glove arm to create the imbalance that’ll trigger your lower body to send your pitches directly into your intended target.

Secrets to a Balanced Front Leg Lift.

Here’s a tip … You’re more likely to command your pitches when your foot placements, legwork, and front leg lift work together to keep your glove arm free to deliver the command needed to keep your pitching dreams alive.

Command: Trust Your Front Leg Lift

 

Fact: Your Body’s constant self-corrections keep you from falling over.

Planned Self-Corrections Promote Command.

When you begin your delivery with a well-planned Front Leg lift and you move your Glove Hand away from your Body, your Back Leg flexes, and, once you tuck your Glove Arm, you trigger a cascading series of command-producing self-corrections.

Your Lower Body rotates, your rotation causes you to stride, and, at foot plant, your Body’s self-corrections use your Lower Body to whip your Throwing Arm into release and send your pitches into your target with uncanny regularity.

Unplanned Self-Corrections Hurt Command.

Without an effectively choreographed Front Leg lift, when you move your Glove Hand away from your Body, you’re less likely to experience any Back Leg flex.

Without a Back Leg reaction, your Throwing Arm is going to catapult the ball through several random arm slots.

Bottomline, your random arm slots mean you never really know where any single pitch will end up.

Command Is a Flexible Front Leg Lift.

If you want to turn your command into an expectation, make sure, out of your Front Leg Lift, your Back Leg flexes as your Glove Hand moves away from your Body.

Front Shoulder Positions Dictate Command

 

 A Closed Front Shoulder Hurts Command.

Stand in place, and, to throw the ball, you must move your front shoulder out of the way.

Having to deliver the ball around your front shoulder means you can only hope your ball goes where you want.

An Open Front Shoulder Promotes Command.

Stand on one foot with your front heel in line with your back foot, clear your front shoulder and you automatically whip your throwing arm into release.

Reproduce these conditions in your pitching motion and your body spontaneously whips your throwing arm through the same path on every pitch.

The Transition Is Easy.

If you must clear your front shoulder to complete your delivery, it’s because you end your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot.

You reverse this by ending your front leg lift without your feet going past one another, spinning out of your front leg lift, and letting your body automatically produce the command you want.

Commanding Your Front Leg Lift.

Once you finish your front leg lift with your feet in line with one another, you can trust your body to send your pitches directly into your target with uncanny regularity.
