Your Shoulders Reveal Your Starting Position

 

Your shoulder position begins with your feet.

Your shoulder position begins with your feet.

Tilted Shoulders

When your feet start too far apart, your starting position puts your body out of balance. Your hips and shoulders tilt, and your body must compensate as the delivery develops.

As your body attempts to regain balance, your shoulder position, head, direction, and release point can change with your shoulders.

Now your throwing hand must search for the target instead of arriving there through a repeatable sequence.

Level Shoulders

Bring your feet closer together and establish a balanced starting position.

When your hips and shoulders remain level, your head moves more directly toward the target and your throwing hand has a more repeatable path to release.

Your glove hand moves across your body, prompts the lower body, and allows the rest of the delivery to follow.

Get Better Results

Don't try to correct tilted shoulders in the middle of your motion. Fix the position that created the tilt.

Build the balance first, let your glove hand trigger the lower body, and let your sequence deliver the baseball.

Head → Direction → Sequence → ONE Motion.
