Body Balance In Pitching: Throwing Action And Pitch Location

 

True pitching power and accuracy originate from a balanced and grounded position, not solely from a forceful stride.

Weight in Front

Starting with your weight in front of your back foot disrupts your balance.

You rely heavily on your stride to initiate the throw, which leads to inconsistent mechanics and poor pitch location.

Balanced Starting Position

Begin with your weight slightly before your back foot and maintain a balanced posture.

A simple lift of your front leg triggers the throwing motion naturally and smoothly.

This balanced starting position promotes a more fluid and effortless throwing action and improves accuracy and control.

Takeaways

A balanced starting position is the foundation for a successful pitch.

Initiated by a simple lift of the front leg, the throwing motion feels natural and effortless when properly balanced.

A balanced approach leads to more consistent mechanics and improved pitch location.
