The height of your glove hand at the start of your delivery dictates the timing of your kinetic chain.
Elevating the glove too high creates "noise" and
drag, whereas keeping the glove hand palm facing the target creates a direct,
powerful path to the plate.
Natural View
In an elite pitcher, their glove hand remains in a
"ready" position, typically tucked near the chest, and the glove hand
stays below the level of the lead elbow.
From the catcher’s perspective, the pocket of the glove shows
the palm and doesn’t let the front side drift or turn prematurely.
Why "Low" is Efficient
Starting with a high glove hand disrupts the "flow"
of the delivery.
A high glove hand forces you to use your throwing arm as a
counterbalance, causing it to "drag" behind your body's rotation.
High glove movement causes your stride foot to crash into the
ground before your arm is in the cocked position, which leads to
"flat" pitches with no life.
Keeping the glove below the elbow allows for a smoother weight
transfer, keeps your center of gravity stable, and ensures your release point
remains consistent pitch after pitch.
