Stride AND Throw, Glove Work, and Command

 

The Front Foot Starting Position

The Front Foot Starting Position places your weight on or in front of your Back Foot.

Ideally, for you to regularly find your target, you want your Front Foot to begin even with your Back Foot.

Any other position means you don’t know where the ball will end up.

The Front Foot Behind Your Hips

Your Front Foot beginning behind your Front Hip puts your weight on your Back Foot.

Your weight on your Back Foot forces your Stride to take the weight off your Back Foot.

You land your stride, THEN you fire the ball.

The chance your ball hits your target is greatly decreased.

The Front Foot Even With Your Hips                

With your Front Foot in front of your Front Hip, you balance your weight slightly in front of your Back Foot.

Not only is your weight in balance, but your Glove Hand swings into action.

Your Glove Hand fires your Lower Body, your Lower Body activates your Hips, AND you throw the ball.

Your ball goes into your target with uncanny regularity.

Better Stride AND Throw Action

Your Stride AND Throw regularly places the ball in your target with uncanny regularity.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you a Stride AND Throw routine to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Back Knee, Glove Work, and Command

 

You Don’t Want Your Back Knee to Begin Over Your Back Foot

Your Front Foot beginning wider than your Shoulders means your Back Knee activates your motion with your Back Knee over your Back Foot.

When you lift your Front Foot to complete your Front Leg lift, your weight ends up over your Back Foot.

With your weight over your Back Foot, you move toward your target with your Body needing to get in balance.

You regain balance only when your Front Foot hits the ground.

At the point your Front Foot hits the ground, your Throwing Arm acts alone to deliver the ball to your target.

The fact your Throwing Arm works alone means you lose your Lower Body, and your target area expands.

Your Back Knee Begins Behind Your Back Foot

Your Front Foot beginning under your Hips puts your Back Knee behind your Back Foot.

Your Front Foot lift ends with your Leg to the Home Plate side of your Front Hip.

Your Lower Body prompts your Glove Arm to trigger your Throwing Action.

The ball goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

Better Back Knee Action

Your Back Knee being to the second base side of your Back Foot promotes exceptional command.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you a Back Knee position to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

One Motion, Glove Work, and Command

 

Your Stride Precede Your Glove Hand

When your Stride precedes your Throwing Action, your Throwing Hand works alone and places the ball within your target area.

The fact your Throwing Hand acts by itself means your ball ends up in an area that’s far wider than your target.

You set your Stride, and your Glove Hand merely reacts to your Throwing Arm action and does little to command the baseball.

You can only hope the ball goes into your target, but your hopes are slim.

Your Glove Hand Precedes Your Stride

However, when your Throwing Action reacts to your Stride, your Glove Hand prompts your Throwing Action.

At the time your Glove Hand naturally turns over, your Throwing Hand reacts to your Glove Side, and delivers the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

Every other pitch finds your ball going directly to your target.

The Importance of the Glove Hand

Without your Glove Hand movement, your ball is within your target area.

Your Glove Hand positions your Throwing Hand and brings your release through your natural release point.

Always remember, your Glove Hand involvement produces your command.

Better Glove Hand Action

Your Glove Hand promotes your Throwing Action and gives you exceptional command.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches your Glove Hand to promote your Throwing Action, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.
