Use the pandemic’s baseball stoppage to improve your pitch location


You can go back to the mound still hoping your ball ends up where you want or you can use your baseball hiatus to have us over prepare you to produce the spontaneous pitch location you’ve been searching for all along. The choice is yours!

Fill your down time with dynamic balance.

Spontaneous pitch location relies on dynamic balance to deliver your pitches into your target.

Walking on a balance beam, riding a bike and, when properly managed, pitch location are all examples of dynamic balance.

Dynamic balance means your body is in a balanced position where, when you make a subtle arm or a leg movement, you force your body to move into an entirely different balanced position.

During your hiatus, make it a point to discover the right sequence of arm and leg movements that’ll make your throwing action part of your body’s dynamic balancing routine and produce the spontaneous pitch location required to succeed at the highest levels.
 

Don’t waste your forced isolation.

After 25+ years of studying how dynamic balance generates spontaneous pitch location, we realize one super-slow-mo pitching action accurately predicts your pitching results.

When you make a super-slo-mo pitching motion and your motion stops as your front foot hits the ground, your movements disconnect your throwing arm from your body and you can’t know where any one pitch ends up.

During your hiatus, you can work toward your super-slo-mo pitching motion ending with a throwing action and here’s a clue ...

Spontaneous pitch location is merely rearranging your movement sequence so, when you complete your delivery, your throwing arm automatically delivers your pitches into your target.

Accomplish this and, when you get back to the mound, your spontaneous pitch location is sure  to keep your Team close enough to win every time you pitch.

You have a choice.

You can go back to the mound still hoping your ball ends up where you want or you can use your baseball hiatus to have us over prepare you to produce the spontaneous pitch location you’ve been searching for all along.

10 Pitching Time-wasters


Our “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©” gives you a pitching plan that, instead of wasting your time, keeps your pitching career moving forward.

Your pitching career is remarkably short. Therefore, how you use every second counts. To help you better manage your time, what follows is a random list of top 8 things we think aren’t worth your time.
1. Watching pitching videos. You see what the Pitcher does, but without knowing how the Pitcher does what you see him do, there’s no way to duplicate his motion.
2. Imagining a bright future. Having a vision is important, but a vision without a plan won’t help you achieve your dreams.
3. Just throwing. Instead of “just throwing”, always follow your pitching motion’s movement sequence and, by doing so, you reinforce the physical progression you use when pitching.
4. Focus on stats. You’ll spend your time and energy chasing a number. Instead, chase a movement sequence that, without thinking about it, maximizes your numbers.
5. Celebrity Coaches. Coaches who have pitched professionally and now teach others how to pitch know what they did, but, sadly, few know how to teach what they did.
6. Debate the value of One School of Thought over Another. Your body only works one way. Instead of wasting your time debating one school of thought versus another, focus on the way your body. Do this and you’ll challenge every Hitter on every pitch. 
7. Video Analysis. You know what you see, but do you understand why you see what you see and how to change it? Instead of changing what you see by trying to change what you see, study and apply the way the human body is known to work to your videos.
8. Constant Change. Instead of constantly making changes to your motion, develop a step-by-step movement sequence, stick to it and, when a disturbing trend appears, refine your movement pattern from the bottom up.
 

 

Stop wasting your time

How to Develop Bulletproof Muscle Memory


You miss your target by an unacceptable distance and, because you have a productive movement sequence,  you can expect and see your next pitch travel into your target.

What do you do during your bullpen sessions?

The more your movements seamlessly connect your body parts, the more pitches you see travel into your target.

When you get to this point, you spend your bullpen sessions reinforcing the movement pattern you know works for you.

Any disconnect between any one of your body parts and, instead of using your bullpen to reinforce, your bullpen sessions turn into a location-producing work-around.

Three approaches to muscle memory.

Good – This might seem repetitive, but one bullpen approach is hoping to improve your location by improving your location.
Once you find a “feel” for your pitches, your pitches travel into your target. With this approach, when you take the mound, you’re forced to find a different “feel” for every outing. At the higher levels, while you try to find your “feel for that day, your Opponents patiently wait for you to make mistakes they can drive.

Better - You make arbitrary changes to your motion, but the issue becomes knowing whether the change improves your results?
You hold onto any change that produces the results you want to see, but without a large sample of pitches, you never know until it’s too late whether the change is right for you.

Best - You study your motion, make improvements based upon your research and, after making the adjustment, expect to see more pitches travel into your target.
With this option, there’s no guessing, hoping or trying. You simply use your bullpen session to reinforce the repeatable movement patterns that turn your results into an expectation.

Productive bullpen sessions.

The “Best” option is your goal. Discover an efficient movement pattern and you stop worrying about your results. You miss your target by an unacceptable distance and, because you have a productive movement sequence,  you can expect and see your next pitch travel into your target.

Our “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©” teaches you the movement patterns where the expectation is for every pitch to travel directly into your target.
Want to stop trying and start succeeding? Let’s talk!

Why you can’t locate your pitches?


Easily corrected positions guarantee your ball will travel directly into your intended target much more often.

Pitch location is built around dynamic balance, nature’s physical forces and the way your body works.

- Dynamic balance is balance while moving.
- Your most influential physical force is gravity.
- Your mind is built to keep your body in balance.

How these factors interact with one another

Let’s use riding a bike to demonstrate how these 3 factors tie together.

Riding a bike is a dynamically balanced action.

- Unless the ground is banked, anytime you take a turn, you can’t help but lean in the opposite direction.
- Should your front wheel run over a stone, you can’t stop from using your front wheel to keep you from falling over.

Therefore, the way you react to your environment keeps you safe, but, in the process, you lose control of how your body moves.

Why you  can’t control your throwing arm path?


In each of these easily corrected instances, the environment your movements create cause you to lose control of your throwing arm path.

- From the stretch, you begin with your feet wider than your hips, you stagger your feet or you begin your motion with your glove hand to the second base side of center.
- From the wind-up, you begin with both heels parallel to the rubber or your rocker step takes your front foot behind your back foot.

In each instance, your mind demands you end your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot.

With your weight over your back foot, to move into your delivery, you must shift your weight toward your target. In the process, gravity alerts your mind about your weight shift, uses your throwing arm for balance and makes it impossible to know with any certainty where any one pitch ends up????

Fixes are simple

The good news is that positions are easily corrected and, by doing so, your ball will travel directly into your intended target much more often.

Wondering how to use your movements to produce a more sustainable throwing arm path? Let’s talk.

“Slide Steps” Don’t Work!


By seamlessly eliminating the need to use your throwing arm for balance, your time to the plate matches any “slide step” without compromising your pitch location.

The way your body works

When you move down the mound, you’re going to use your throwing arm to offset any forward weight shift.

When your body uses your throwing arm for balance, you can’t complete your delivery until your front foot comes back to earth and you center your weight between your feet.

All this takes time and during this time and, at normal speed, you give runners every chance to steal on you.

“Slide steps” solve the stealing issue, but create a location issue

To speed your journey into release and stop runners from stealing on you, you increase the distance between your feet, lift your front foot and slide down the mound. 

With a slide step, you force your throwing arm to move a lot quicker than normal speed.

Consequently, by pushing your throwing path to its limits, your slide step solves the issue of holding the runner but makes it nearly impossible to know where any one pitch will end up.

Why would you want to “slide step”?

When you slide step, you end up holding the runner, but risk missing your target over the plate and having your opponent drive your miss.

Your job is to keep your Team close enough to win. When you slide step, you risk not doing your job and putting your Team in hole they can’t climb out of.

Stop having to “slide step”

My “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©” teach you how to not use your throwing arm for balance. Instead, how to use your throwing action for balance.

By seamlessly eliminating the need to use your throwing arm for balance, your time to the plate matches any “slide step” without compromising your pitch location. 

Have an issue with your pitch location when you “slide step”? Let’s talk!

Pitch Location MUST Be an Expectation


By programming your mind to use your throwing action for balance, you expect each pitch to travel directly into your target all the time.

Only when you stop gravity from playing with your arm slot do you realize next level pitch location.

Gravity plays with your arm slot!

You struggle with your pitch location because your throwing arm is used to offset gravity.

Gravity produces movement combinations. Each movement sequence uses your throwing arm path in a unique way.  Consequently, when you fail to harness gravity, where your ball ends up becomes complete guesswork.

The right “feels”, the right movement tempo, overcomes gravity’s impact on your body.
“Feeling” the right tempo means you use your throwing arm path for balance in the same way on every pitch.

Any motion built around a “feel” means, unless you find the right “feel” every time you take the mound, you’re going to struggle to keep your Team close enough to win.

Pitch location becomes an expectation!

When you know how to locate your pitches, you use your throwing action (not your throwing arm) for balance.

Your structured movements counteract gravity by signaling your brain to take your throwing arm through the same path on every pitch.

By programming your mind to use your throwing action for balance, you expect each pitch to travel directly into your target all the time.

What's in your future?

You have a choice. Fight gravity or use it to your advantage.

My “Winning Pitch Location Master Strategies©” are built to use gravity to produce the pitch location required to compete at the highest levels.

ROT (Return on Time) Improves your Results


To become YOUR best, you must set the right goals, listen to yourself, focus on what you do well and measure your location.

Time is your most valuable asset!!!

The sooner you start focusing on your ROT, the sooner your opponents begin struggling to make solid contact with any pitch you throw.

ROT Tip #1 - Your Goal

1. The fastest way to stop wasting your time is knowing the answer to this question …
“What is the goal of your goal?”

Finding the answer to this question means you won’t bite off more than you can chew and, by realizing these smaller victories, your results will improve exponentially.

ROT Tip#2 - Care About You

2. Stop listening to everyone else’s opinion and start listening to your inner-most thoughts.

This stops you from letting others disrupt your natural flow and, with your natural flow intact, you instantly begin producing better results.

ROT Tip#3 - Think about What You Do Right

3. Think more about the things you do right than the things you do wrong.

Stop focusing on the things you do wrong and your positive energy drives better results.

ROT Tip#4 - Keep It Simple

4. Keep it simple.

Measure the frequency of your balls traveling into your target. The more your ball travels into your target, the more the measurements the baseball community wants to see falls into line.

Stop Wasting Your Time

To become YOUR best, you must set the right goals, listen to yourself, focus on what you do well and measure your location.

Do you know your ROT? Contact me to set up a time management audit and prioritization consultation.

If You’re Aiming, You’re Blaming


My “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©” offers cutting-edge, dynamic front leg lifts that are guaranteed to engage your lower half and, without having to aim, force you to deliver your pitches directly into your target.

Location is all about your safety

Your body signals your brain about your position, alignment and movements. Your brain uses this information to keep you upright and injury free. When necessary, your brain automatically makes corrections that’ll keep you from getting hurt.

In pitching, your drive for safety becomes your advantage!

The conscious work you put into your front leg lift combines with your throwing action to force your stride.

Once you complete your stride, to get back in balance, your body goes through an array of automatic actions. To your advantage, a critical piece of this spontaneous response is your throwing action.

Continually combine your dynamic front leg lift with an automatic stride and, without any conscious thought, your movements produce the same excellent results over and over and over again.

Sustainable pitch location is complicated, but far from impossible

Ending your front leg lift in a dynamic position requires a working knowledge of every Law of Nature. 

Overlook even the most insignificant factor and, because you’re dealing with balance, you tip the scales to losing your hips, struggling with location, tipping your pitches and showing your opponent a very predictable ball path.

My “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©” offers cutting-edge, dynamic front leg lifts that are guaranteed to engage your lower half and, without having to aim, force you to deliver your pitches directly into your target.

To be successful, you need the sustainable lower half driven location contained in my “Winning Pitch Location Strategies©”. To find out more, contact me.

Where does pitch location come from?


If no one you know can teach you to prepare, activate and trust your body to locate your pitches, the “Pitch Location Masterclass©” is here for you!

Location comes from the way your body works

When you step on very slick ice, without thinking about it, your body goes into alert mode and, to make sure you don’t fall over, your arms take on a life of their own.

Your alert mode ends when you no longer need your arms for balance. It’s only at this point that you can think about how you want to move.

Therefore, when in alert mode, you have no control over your movements, but, when you no longer need your arms for balance, you have complete control over how you want to move.

Location means you want to be out-of-control

Location means …
  1. Before you complete your stride, you create a moment of balance,
  2. You then use a pre-planned movement to trigger your alert mode, then
  3. You let your alert mode use your throwing action to get your body back in balance.

Location comes from proper preparation, understanding alert mode triggers and realizing the combination of the two makes your pitch location almost foolproof.

Location revolves around trust

Pitch location is and exercise in…
  • Preparing your body to go into alert mode,
  • Sparking your alert mode and
  • Trusting your body to produce the pitch location everyone else is searching to find! 
If no one you know can teach you to prepare, activate and trust your body to locate your pitches, the “Pitch Location Masterclass©” is here for you!

A Roadmap to Pitch Location


The “Pitcher’s Location Masterclass©” sets and keeps you on the path that’ll turn you into the Pitcher you want to be.

Slight changes, big consequences

Let’s forget about pitching for a second and take a pretend trip.
  • We’re in different cars driving side-by-side.
  • There’s a fork in the road where the forks are separated by a single degree.
  • You continue moving straight and I take the one-degree fork in the road.

At first the difference between us is very slight, but well down the road, we end up far, far away from one another.

Alter your path and you may never recover?

Your body is programmed to follow a single road map that’ll produce the location you need to constantly challenge all hitters.

Any variation from this path and you’ll never really know with any certainty where your ball will end up.
  •  A small (but critical) change takes you away from your desired, location-producing path.
  • Once this small change takes hold, because you’re not locating your pitches, you make another slight change.
  • To compensate, in an attempt to improve your location, you continue making change after change.

In a short time, you’ve made so many changes that you get lost and challenging the hitters you face becomes virtually impossible.

The solution

My “Pitcher’s Location Masterclass©” gives you your personal road map to productive location.

These Masterclasses give you …
  • An action plan for productive pitch location.
  • A vision of what your “good” looks like.
  • A method to leverage the way your body is built to work.
  • Long-term, productive habits.

The “Pitcher’s Location Masterclass©” sets and keeps you on the path that’ll turn you into the Pitcher you want to be.

Pitchers: “Standout location” tips the scale in your favor!

I’ve quietly spent 25+ years outside the baseball community figuring out how to teach “standout location”. I’ve gone unnoticed as I supplemented MLB Coaches’ directions and  helped their Pitchers use their location to log hundreds of MLB innings.  If you want “standout location”, I’m here for you too!


“Standout location” solidifies your pitching future.

Pitchers with “standout location” become the total pitching package.
  • You’ll know how to deliver each pitch directly into your Catcher’s intended target.
  • When you miss your target, you’ll put so much late movement on your ball that your opponent still struggles to make solid contact with the ball.
  • When you completely and totally miss your target, you’ll know how to get your next pitch to go where you expect.
  •  No matter the pitch called, your fastball arm speed will keep your opponent guessing about pitch movement and speed.
  • Every time you take the mound, your Team will know you’re capable of keeping them close enough to win.

When you show “standout location”, you become the Pitcher everyone expects and, in the process, you become the envy of every Pitcher who can’t do what you do.

Between your efficient-looking motion and your sustainably excellent results, you shout to MLB Teams that you’re a Pitcher ready to pitch 100+ MLB innings.

It’s never too early to develop “standout location”.

The earlier you discover “standout location”, the easier it’ll become to transition into High School, then College and, perhaps, beyond?

Don’t let your stats lull you into thinking you’re better than you are.

Without “standout location”, untrained, impatient hitters help you compensate for your inability to locate your pitches. They miss pitches they shouldn’t. They swing at pitches they can’t drive. They get behind in counts where they shouldn’t.

Since measuring your ability to locate your pitches would bum you out, you happily let hitters pad your stats, then you use their stats to give you the warm-and-buzzy feeling that you’re better than you really are.

MLB Teams need Pitchers with “standout location”.

MLB Organizations don’t know how to and don’t have to teach location. If they did, there would be a surplus of quality pitching!

Instead, MLB Teams rely on numbers to compensate for their inability to teach location. They continually sift through the available Pitchers, pick the one with the best location and wait to see the results. When the Pitcher they picked doesn’t work out, they fill the slot with another Pitcher. This cycle continues and, when they eventually find a Pitcher who displays “standout location”. the Pitcher is there for 100+ MLB innings.

Eventually location determines your future.

Against MLB hitters who get paid to drive your mistakes, the advantages you had against lower level hitters totally disappear.

It’s at this point that “standout location” becomes the gateway to your pitching future.

There’s only one place to learn “standout location”!

By association, any past or present MLB Pitcher or Coach has done and is doing some extraordinary things, but, when you see the lack of pitch location within the current pitching population, it’s obvious they don’t know how to teach “standout location”. Therefore, to learn “standout location”, you must go outside baseball.

To this end, I’ve quietly spent 25+ years outside the baseball community figuring out how to teach “standout location”. I’ve gone unnoticed as I supplemented MLB Coaches’ directions and  helped their Pitchers use their location to log hundreds of MLB innings.

If you want “standout location”, I’m here for you too!

Your center of gravity centers your location.


Over 20 years of seeing the various paths pitching careers can possibly take, right now, this instant, your pitching career is at a crossroads. The way people remember your baseball career will reflect on the decision you make today!

Maintain your center of gravity

When you place your center of gravity just in front of your back-foot, you force your body to spontaneously bring your throwing hand through the same spot on every pitch.

Getting your body to revolve around your center of gravity forces each pitch to travel directly into your intended target. Consequently, your pitching stands out as markedly better than any pitchers competing for the same openings as you!

Lose your center of gravity

The instant your movements place your center of gravity over your back foot, you force a front-to-back or back-to-front weight shift, you use your throwing arm to stabilize your center of gravity and, consequently, you never really know with any confidence where any one pitch will end up.

By placing your center of gravity over your back foot, you place your motion in a state of chaos, your release window changes from one pitch to the next and the Pitchers who end with their center of gravity in front of their back-foot outperform you.

Stop wasting your time

Learning to manage your center of gravity can happen in 5 minutes. Gaining the confidence associated with proper center of gravity management is what takes the most time.

You can use trial-and-error to learn proper center of gravity management or you can spend 5-minutes with me, get your body to rotate around your center of gravity and become the stand out Pitcher you always dreamed you’d be?

Where is your pitching career headed?

Over 20 years of seeing the various paths pitching careers can possibly take, right now, this instant, your pitching career is at a crossroads. The way people remember your baseball career will reflect on the decision you make today!

Ask yourself this simple question. “How does my pitching stand out from everyone else?”

If you must think about your answer, contact me immediately!

How to Produce the Best Pitching Results Ever?


Ask me to show you the movement patterns that are guaranteed to supercharge your pitching career!

What does a naturally productive throwing action look like?

A naturally automatic throwing action looks like this!
Should I ask you to make an imaginary throwing action, your entire body simply, naturally and automatically pulls your throwing hand into your make-believe release.
Miraculously, every time you make this throwing action, your throwing hand moves through the same spot.
That’s exactly what you want out of your pitching motion ... entirely natural, totally spontaneous and extremely repeatable.

How your “functional” motion can quickly turn “dysfunctional”?

When you “try” to deliver each pitch directly into a target, your very “functional”, totally natural and extremely repeatable motion turns into a “dysfunctional” mess and here’s why?
Let’s say I move back a few yards, hold my hand up to give you a target and ask you to use your natural throwing action to deliver the ball directly into my hand.
You do everything you did before and (ugh!) you watch the ball miss your target???
When I give you a second chance to hit my target, you compensate for your inadequate arm slot by consciously changing your natural movement pattern.

How I keep your “functional” functional?

You, like everyone, possess a natural throwing action where, every time you make a throwing action, your entire body pulls your throwing hand through the same productive release point all the time.
To keep you delivering every pitch directly into your target, I teach you the field-tested movement patterns that’ll force your body to pull your throwing hand through the same tiny, yet extremely productive, release window.

How you think and what you see measures your results.

No matter what anyone tells you, you have a dysfunctional delivery when ...
  • You miss your target and, to get your next pitch to go and do what you want, you change your arm slot.
  • You can’t trust any one pitch to go and do what you want.
  • You don’t regularly see consecutive strings of pitches traveling into your intended target.
  • Your bullpen sessions are consumed with “trying” to fix stuff.

When you can honestly expect each pitch to go and do what you want, you can be assured your body is naturally and automatically driving your pitching results.

How you spend your pitching career is up to you?

You can either …
  • Waste your pitching career “trying” to find the right movement patterns that’ll produce the results you know you need or
  • Ask me to show you the movement patterns that are guaranteed to supercharge your pitching career!

If the second choice sounds best, let’s talk.

What makes us the best pitching instruction anywhere?


When you full-body delivery sends each pitch into your target, you maximize your throwing arm speed, your ball breaks closer to the plate than usual and you can be assured your fastball arm speed won’t tip your pitches. Want this to describe you? Contact me to get the best pitching instruction anywhere!


Balance, simplicity and location.

Balance is a natural occurrence.
Your body is driven to use your arms for balance. Therefore, the only time you can move your arms the way you want is when your weight is centered within your body.

Pitching is simple.
On the surface, you find a way to bring your throwing hand through the same productive spot on every pitch. Here’s where it gets complicated. Your throwing hand can only come through the same spot when you end your stride with the imbalance we help you create.

Finally, it’s all about location.
As a by-product of the location we teach, you can expect to keep every Hitter guessing about pitch speed and movement. Do this and the chances any Hitter drives any pitch becomes more and more unlikely.


You come to us throwing “darts” and leave throwing a “javelin”

A “dart thrower”.
A “dart thrower”, like any arm-only athletic event, uses just their throwing arm, forearm and wrist to send each dart toward their target.

In pitching, when you end your stride with your body in balance, your delivery mirrors that of a “dart thrower”. Your balance as you end your stride keeps your throwing arm free to deliver the ball toward your target.

What indicators tell you your motion resembles a “dart thrower”?
Your motion resembles an arm-only “dart thrower” when ...
  • You land in a “power position”.
  • You can’t end your stride with an open front shoulder without hurting your results.
  • You miss your target by a lot on one pitch and can only “hope” your next pitch travels into your target.


A “javelin thrower”.
A “javelin thrower”, like any full-bodied athletic event, uses their entire body to generate their throwing action.
In pitching, your motion is like a “javelin thrower”, when you end your stride with a planned imbalance. It’s this imbalance that, to get back in balance, forces you to make a productive throwing (re)action.

No matter your age or skill level, in less than 5 minutes, we guarantee to turn your hit-or-miss throwing action into a sustainably productive throwing (re)action where …
  • You can expect each pitch to travel directly into your target.
  • Should you miss your spot, you know how to deliver your next pitch directly into your Catcher’s target.
  • You challenge the best hitters to make solid contact with any pitch you throw.


We guarantee exemplary results.

There’s 3-ways our Pitchers keep the best hitters more off-balance than any arm-only Throwers.

1. You always show the hitter a fastball arm speed.
No matter the pitch called, your full-body delivery shows the same arm speed on every pitch. By comparison, if you’re an arm-only Thrower, your arm speed varies from one pitch to the next. Lower level Hitters won’t pick this up, but as you climb the baseball ladder, changes in arm speed tip pitches.

2. Without fail, your pitches break as close to the plate as humanly possible.
No matter what, your ball is going to take the same path into your Catcher’s target, but the energy your full-bodied motion generates causes your ball to break much closer to the plate than when you complete your delivery with just your upper body..

3. On every pitch, your Catcher places his glove in an unhittable location and you expect the ball to travel directly into his target.
The “javelin thrower-like” throwing (re)action you generate makes it much more likely you’ll bring your throwing hand through the same tiny release window. Consequently, you deliver a greater percentage of your pitches directly into your Catcher’s target. However, with your throwing arm working by itself, you can’t know with any certainty where any one pitch will end up.

Your location tells all.

When you full-body delivery sends each pitch into your target, you maximize your throwing arm speed, your ball breaks closer to the plate than usual and you can be assured your fastball arm speed won’t tip your pitches.
