Foot Position and Command: Mastering Your Pitching Delivery

 

When your foot position sets up for your lower body to drive your throwing action, your glove work becomes a powerful asset in delivering the ball precisely where you want it.

Your motion is profoundly influenced by where your feet make contact with the ground.

Precise foot positioning ensures stability, serving as the foundational element that promotes excellent glove work and exceptional command.

Conversely, when your foot positioning is off, your entire body moves out of balance, your glove work becomes a reactionary scramble, and your command inevitably suffers.

Poor Foot Position

When your heels are too far apart, your motion immediately loses balance.

This imbalance renders your glove almost ineffective, as your body struggles to compensate, and your command will undoubtedly suffer.

Good Foot Position

However, when your heels are in line with your target and approximately one baseball width apart, your motion stays in optimal balance.

This specific alignment enables your glove hand to actively promote your motion, resulting in command with uncanny regularity.

This precise foot placement maximizes your body's internal sense of position, providing you with the consistent feeling necessary for efficient delivery.
