YOUR SHOULDERS DON'T START THE THROW
Your shoulders are the connection between the power created by
your lower body and the baseball delivered by your throwing hand.
When properly aligned, your shoulders give the throwing arm a
more direct path toward the target.
Less unnecessary movement means better direction, repeatable
command, and efficient velocity.
HIPS FIRST. SHOULDERS SECOND.
Your shoulders shouldn't pull your hips. Your hips should
deliver your shoulders.
As your lower body moves, the hips lead the sequence.
Energy travels through the core, into the shoulders, and
finally into the throwing arm.
Hips → Core → Shoulders → Throwing Hand
When the shoulders open too early, the sequence is disrupted.
The throwing arm may then compensate for movement the lower
body should have created.
ALIGNMENT SUPPORTS THE ARM
Good shoulder positioning, combined with appropriate strength,
mobility, workload, and recovery, can help reduce unnecessary stress on the
throwing arm.
The goal isn't to force more shoulder rotation.
The goal is to position the
shoulders to receive and transfer the energy generated below them.
PITCH SMART
It starts before your shoulders ever rotate.
Your starting position creates balance, your glove hand
triggers the sequence, your hips lead, your core transfers, your shoulders
follow, and your throwing hand delivers.
Head → Direction → Sequence → ONE Motion.
