Become a superior pitching force.

Truth be told, your motion looks the same as everyone else. There’s nothing within your motion that’ll tell any recruiter they can’t live another day without having you on their roster. 

Just like everyone else, you move down the mound, you land in your “power position” and your lower body involvement is your throwing arm pulling your back hip forward. 

Just like everyone else, you have no idea where any pitch is going to end up, your stats are inflated by hitters who are still learning to hit failing to drive your misses and the only thing driving your success is your ability to overcome your failures. 

Distinguishing yourself boils down to your coaching 

Have you ever considered how every pitching coach focuses on your movements as you move down the mound and never stresses your body position at the top your front leg lift? 

Think about how ...  Your body works as a single unit where your mind reads how gravity impacts your stability and, based upon the instability your actions present, knows which one of a thousand movement patterns will instantaneously stabilize your body. 

When you think in these terms, you realize ... 

Your foot placements determine your stability at the top of your front leg lift and your front leg lift stability sets the stage for the torso alignment, throwing arm path and stride length combinations that ultimately dictate your pitch release window. 

Finally, know this...  There is ONE AND ONLY ONE front leg lift position guaranteed to use JUST your throwing arm action to stabilize your body which, by plan, forces gravity to bring your throwing hand through the same release window on every pitch. 

To get into this ONE AND ONLY front leg lift position, you ...  1. Place your feet one baseball width apart. 2. Flex your knees and then place your back knee over the little toes on your back foot. 3. Lift your front knee up to and in line with your front shoulder. 4. Once you complete your front leg lift, throw the ball “through”, not “to”, your target. 

These 4 simple movements represent a very manageable coaching alternative that, by forcing gravity to use your throwing arm action to quickly (enhanced velocity) and efficiently (sustainability) stabilize your body, uses your lower body to throw strikes. 

Attracting attention! 

By using gravity to deliver each pitch into your intended target, you show recruiters one synchronized delivery that evaluators always dream they’ll find. 

You can waste your pitching career “hoping” to attract attention or you can use the 4 simple skills presented© to attract high-level talent evaluators.

How would you do against better hitters?

Anytime you deliver the ball directly into a target placed in an unhittable spot with late movement and with an arm speed that makes the pitch look like a fast ball, your opponent will struggle to make solid contact with the pitch.

How often do you miss your target over the plate?

Mature hitters wait for you to miss your target over the plate.

When, as you move down the mound, gravity uses your throwing arm to offset your forward movement, your release window changes from one pitch to the next and the likelihood you miss your target over the plate increases.

When gravity ends your delivery by using your throwing arm action to stabilize your body, gravity brings your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch and you’re less likely to miss your target over the plate.

How much late ball movement does each pitch produce?

To dominate, you want your opponent to think the ball will be in one location when it always ends up in a completely different location.

The more energy your throwing arm puts into every pitch, the later the ball movement.

When you land in a balanced “power position”, the energy you direct into each pitch comes from your upper body. When you use gravity to whip your throwing hand into release, you increase your throwing arm speed which creates the late ball movement that’ll challenge any hitter to make solid contact with the ball.

Do you always display fastball arm speed?

To dominate, you change your grip, you change your release and you show your opponent a fastball arm speed on every pitch. Do this and you challenge every hitter to make solid contact with each pitch.

When you land in a balance “power position”, based upon the pitch called, your arm speed will change. The change may be slight, but, to a mature hitter, even a marginal arm speed change is noticeable and enough for the hitter to know how to do some damage.

When gravity uses your throwing arm action to stabilize your body, no matter the pitch called or the hitter’s maturity, your opponent always thinks a fastball is coming.

Stats and isolated performances produce false reads.

Good stats and superior performances are great, but to see these same results at the next level, you need to know how to use gravity to produce superior location, later ball movement and the perception of a fastball arm speed to keep every hitter off-balance on every pitch.

You can spend years trying to do this or you can use the freely available recommendations^© at the ProPitchingInstitute.com to make this happen literally overnight.

Overnight Command

How you manage gravity shapes your results

Have you ever considered that your body is an interconnected system where your mind reads gravity’s impact on your body and knows to pick a movement combination that’ll get your body back in balance in the quickest and most efficient way?

Now consider this … gravity uses your foot placements to determine your body position at the top of your front leg lift, then gravity uses your front leg lift position to decide which one of hundreds of thousands of movement sequences it needs to get your body back in balance.

Hundreds of thousands of foot placements cause gravity to end your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot, but there is ONE AND ONLY ONE foot placement variation that ends your front leg lift with your weight centered between your knees.

That’s where the Pro Pitching Institute adds value.

Best case scenario.
When you end your front leg lift with your weight centered between your knees and then literally try to throw the ball through your receiver’s target, you guarantee gravity uses your throwing arm action to get your body back in balance.

By plan, gravity brings your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch you throw.

When you know how to let gravity drive each pitch into your intended target, you confidently cancel out patience as a hitter’s tool and find yourself challenging even the most mature hitters to make solid contact with each and every pitch you throw.

What typically happens.
By ending your front leg lift with your weight over your back foot, every gravity-driven movement pattern ends in a “power position” (feet on the ground and your weight centered between your feet).

Since your “power position” represents a balanced posture, your throwing arm is free to move anyway you want. Therefore, you’re able to use your last pitch results to determine your next pitch arm slot.

Since the arm slot you want will always conflict with the way gravity reads your “power position” body alignment, your ball rarely ends up where you want.

When your pitching plan revolves around your last pitch results determining your next pitch arm slot, you can only hope to be competitive against extra patient and more mature hitters.

The Pro Pitching Institute Teaches Command

You can spend years trying to discover the footwork that’ll end your front leg lift with your weight centered between your knees or you can use the ProPitchingInstitute.com “Building Blocks” to make this happen literally overnight.

Are you “command ready”?

When you’re “command ready”, you end your starting position ready to bring your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch.

There are only 3 Starting Positions

You begin your movement toward the plate from one of 3 body positions.

- You end your front leg lift with your front knee behind your front hip.

- You can hold your front leg lift with your front knee well in front of your back.

- From the stretch, you end your pitch preparation with your feet wider than your hips.

Hand Separations Test Each Starting Position

To test each starting position, get into the position and separate your hands.

Nothing happens when …

- You end your front leg lift with your front knee behind your front hip.

- From the stretch, you end your pitch preparation with your feet wider than your hips.

But your body makes a throwing action when ...

- You can hold your front leg lift with your front knee to the home plate side of your back.

Hand Separation Reactions Predict Command

Since your body is an interconnected system that moves as one and only reacts to itself …

When “nothing happens” …

- Your body needs to prepare for ball release. In this instance, there’s a huge chance your preparation changes your release window from one pitch to the next.

When you go directly into a throwing action …

- There’s an extremely high likelihood your throwing hand moves through the same release window on every pitch.

The Pro Pitching Institute Makes You “Command Ready”

The Pro Pitching Institute presents the 6 “Building Blocks” that’ll allow your hand separation to automatically bring your throwing hand through the same release window on every pitch. Out of the Starting Position the Pro Pitching Institute creates, no matter the pitch called, you can expect the ball to travel directly into your intended target with very late movement and a deceptive arm action.

Mindful Command!

The way your body works …

• Your mind is hardwired to keep your centered between your feet.
• The instant your mind senses any weight shift, your mind tells your body how it must move to get your weight back to center.
• Actions only occurs after your mind believes your weight is centered between your feet.

Productively Sustainable Release Windows

When, at the top of your front leg lift, you fool your mind into thinking your weight is centered between your feet (a combination of Pro Pitching Institute “Building Blocks” 1-5), you’re able to come out of your front leg lift throwing the ball through your target (Pro Pitching Institute “Building Blocks” 6).

The act of throwing the ball through your target causes your body to rotate down the mound.

When you rotate, because your weight is no longer centered between your feet. Your mind demands you get your front foot back on the ground.

The instant your foot plant interrupts your lower body rotation, your mind instantly self-corrects your imbalance by whipping your throwing arm forward and across your body and your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch.

Your Unpredictable Release Window

Your front leg lift forces you to shift your weight from the rubber toward the plate.

As your body moves from back-to-front, your mind use your throwing arm to slow your movement down the mound.

Once your front foot gets back on the mound, your legs center your weight between your feet.

As far as your mind is concerned, it's done its job. With your weight is centered between your feet, your next action is to complete your delivery.

Because you placed your body in a position where your throwing action is unrelated to any other action, your release window changes from one pitch to the next.

How can you expect your next pitch to go where you expect?

The Pro Pitching Institute freely supplies you with the 6 “Building Blocks” proven to whip your throwing hand through a consistently tiny release window on every pitch.

Physical Laws Govern Command!

Swinging Weight Scenario 

What happens when you swing a weight on a string? Put a weight on the end of string, hold the string in your hands and move your hand in a circle. 

The weight makes a circular movement around your hand that’s determined by your hand angle. When you goal is to bring the weight through the same spot on every swing, your challenge becomes finding and maintaining the correct hand angle. 

Bull Whip Scenario 

What happens when you crack of bull whip? You grip the bull whip handle, snap your hand down and up and your hand movement travels down the whip to create a loud snap. 

When your hand snap is at the same angle, the bull whip crack occurs in the same spot. 

Producing Command 

Getting your hand to snap the bull whip handle at the same angle is much easier than maintaining the same hand angle as you swing a weight on a string around your hand. 

• Bull Whip Scenario - By properly managing the gravitational forces impacting your movements, it’s very possible to teach you how to get your hip rotation to whip your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch. 
• Swinging Weight Scenario - When you dismiss or ignore these gravitational forces, your arms rotate around your head and, consequently, your release window varies from one pitch to the next.  

Conclusively, whipping your throwing hand through the same release window on every pitch is a teachable skill. 

How do you manage gravity? 

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you how to take advantage of nature’s gravitational forces. No matter where you live, we skillfully use free Internet tools to teach you how to whip your throwing hand through a consistently tiny release window on every pitch.
