Mastering Glove-Hand Activity for Unmatched Pitching Control

Your glove hand initiates your upper-body sequence, maintains balance, and helps transfer energy cleanly into the throwing arm.

The Pitfalls of Passive Glove-Hand Activity

An inactive glove hand derails your delivery.

When your glove hand fails to engage, the connection between the lower and upper halves results in reduced velocity and effort-based throwing.

An inactive glove side changes how your throwing arm accelerates, leading to poor accuracy and unpredictable misses.

Without an active glove side, your body struggles to stay aligned through foot strike and release.

Achieving Optimal Glove-Hand Activity

To maximize glove-side efficiency, start with a balanced leg lift.

Merely, keep your front side stable while your throwing hand faces second base and your glove hand faces home plate.

As you move into the stride, rotate your glove hand to bring your elbow from facing up to facing down. Your controlled inward rotation activates your kinetic chain and syncs your upper body with the lower half.

Your engaged glove side anchors the torso, promotes a repeatable stride and consistent drives the ball to the target with remarkable regularity.
