The Importance of Proper Shoulder Alignment.
Aligned shoulders provide a direct path to the target,
enhancing accuracy and command.
Proper shoulder rotation allows for the energy from your hips to
go through your core and your throwing arm.
The increased torque from your body contributes to optimal
velocity.
Misaligned shoulders lead to overuse injuries such as shoulder
impingement, rotator cuff tears, and a motion being injury prone.
Shoulder Alignment
Shoulder position directly influences target accuracy and
overall efficiency and is interconnected with lower body mechanics.
Correct shoulder alignment is essential for consistency,
power, and injury prevention.
Improper glove hand positioning misaligns shoulders and
disrupts the kinetic chain.
Shoulder Alignment and Its Impact on Pitching
To improve shoulder alignment, pitchers strengthening the
muscles surrounding the shoulder joint improve stability and control.
A strong core is essential for maintaining proper posture and
preventing compensatory movements.
Exercises that increase range of motion help pitchers achieve
optimal shoulder position.
Common Shoulder Alignment Issues
- Excessive shoulder tilt restricts shoulder rotation and
leads to compensatory movements.
- Shoulder opening too early disrupts timing and reduces
power.
- Shoulders lagging the hips hinder torque generation and
cause arm stress.
