A Way to Optimize Lower Body Mechanics

 

In a well-sequenced delivery, the glove hand initiates shoulder movement, and the shoulders help control the tempo and balance of the entire delivery.

Shoulders Promote Your Lower Body

You allow the sequence to build from the top down.

In a well-sequenced delivery, the glove hand initiates shoulder movement, and the shoulders help control the tempo and balance of the entire delivery.

What happens in one part of the body influences everything else, therefore the kinetic chain never works in isolation.

When the upper body stays organized, the lower body responds naturally and efficiently.

Stop Thinking About Your Lower Body

When you focus on forcing your lower body to move, you often create stiffness, rush your motion, and lose your natural timing.

Many pitchers try to generate power from their legs, but the upper-body cues start the sequence.

Your body already knows how to move; your job is simply not to interfere with it.

Pitch Smart

When pitchers focus on upper body cues, the lower body stays relaxed, movements become smoother and more fluid, timing throughout the delivery improves, and  command becomes more repeatable

Instead of forcing the motion, the pitcher allows the kinetic chain to unfold naturally, and when the sequence improves, the arm simply delivers the ball.
