A Balanced Approach to Fastball Location

 

When you walk a balance beam, as your subconscious fights for balance, you lose control of your arm movements.

When Balance Hurts Your Fastball Location

When you stride out of your front leg lift, similar to the balance beam, your stride means you lose control of your throwing arm path. Your fastball pitch location goes out the window.

Trying to control your fastball location without addressing the cause for your imbalance becomes a fruitless, never-ending battle.

Let Balance Promote Your Fastball Location

End your front leg lift with your weight evenly distributed around your core and, as you move down the mound, your spinning action keeps your body in balance and your arms free to respond to your lower body.

Your spinning action stops when your stride ends. It’s at this point that your throwing action gets your body back to balance and, in the process, automatically sends your fastballs directly into your Catcher’s target.

Discover Balanced Fastball Location

Hit the Pitching Jackpot

 

Your Pitching Career is One Big Bet

Every time you take the mound, you’re betting your pitching career that you can consistently deliver your fastballs directly into a low target.

As you move up the baseball ladder, Opponents become more patient and better trained, the larger your bets become and the more you stand to lose.

Locating Your Pitches Promotes Winning

To locate your pitches, out of your front leg lift, your hand separation triggers a throwing action that sends your fastballs directly into a low target with uncanny accuracy.

Sadly, if you’re like most Pitchers, your sequence out of your front leg lift is reversed. First you stride, then you separate your hands. Your late hand separation means your body uses your throwing arm to keep itself in balance, and, because you delay your throwing arm into release, can’t where any one pitch will end up.

Hedge your bets.

You trust your Coach to manage your throwing action, but if he can’t manage your sequencing as you come out of your front leg lift, you’ll forever be dealt a losing hand!

To discover how simple it is to hit the pitching jackpot (to change your sequencing out of your front leg lift), set up free 15-minute conversation with Coach Skip to talk about next steps.

Is Your Pitching Motion Connected to Your Results?

 

Getting your pitches to travel directly into your target is a simple game of “connect the dots”.

If you’re like most Pitchers, you treat your movements as if they were a pile of unrelated dots.

Case in point, you treat your stride, arm slot, front leg lift, foot plant as if they were independent actions, separate dots.

To achieve your Big-League pitching dreams, you must connect your dots.

The Invisible Dot Connector

Your dot connector is invisible. This invisible dot is your body’s urge to keep itself in balance.

Your urge to stay in balance begins tying your motion, your dots, together the instant your front foot comes off the ground.

Your invisible urge to keep your body in balance uses …

- Your foot placements create a dynamically balanced front leg lift,
- Your stable front leg lift keeps your arms free to produce the cascading movements you’re used to seeing, and
-  Forces your body to use your throwing action to get itself back in balance.

A focus on this invisible dot automates your ball release and, consequently, let you expect each pitch to travel directly into your intended target.

Expect to Win

Million$ Pitch Location is Simple

 

Producing Million$ pitch location is a learned skill.

When you know how to end your front leg lift with your weight centered around your core, you’re able to send your throwing hand through a predetermined release window with uncanny certainty.

Words matter.

By telling yourself to place your feet in the right spots, at the top of your front leg lift, your next words center your weight between your knees and keep your glove side free to move the way you want.

Your next command spins your body down the mound and your spinning action turns your pitch location into an expectation.

What Happens When You Spin Down the Mound?

When you spin out of your front leg lift, your spin signals your body to get your front foot back on the ground.

Your front foot hitting the ground stops your lower body rotation, and your twisted posture forces your upper body to send your throwing hand through the same productive, and surprisingly accurate release point.

Simplify Your Pitching

When you use the right foot placements, the right words in the right sequence will produce the Million$ pitching results you need to succeed in a sport built around failure.

Knowing Your Unknowns Produces Instant Improvement

 

How do you measure how much you know?

If you knew everything you needed to know about your delivery, over 50% of your pitches WOULD end up where you want with the velocity/ball movement you expect.

Anything less than 50% and there are some unknowns you don’t fully understand or have yet to discover.

If you’re like other Pitchers, you have yet to appreciate …

- How your body reacts to your forward movement,
- How your body keeps itself in balance,
- How your shoulders and hips work together, and
- How rotational inertia affects your pitch results.

Make these unknowns a part of every delivery and your Million$ pitching results become your expectation.

Right Movements in the Right Order

With an understanding of these unknowns, these unknowns merge to produce the Million$ pitching results needed to achieve your Big-League dreams.

Once a knowledgeable Coach sees your pitching motion, he intuitively knows how to adjust your movement sequence, make these unknowns a part of every delivery and, by doing so, take you a step closer to maximizing your pitching potential.

Produce Million$ Pitching Results

“Trying” indicates you may not know as much as you think.

When you’re “trying”, you’re “testing”.

When you’re “testing”, your cutting an already too short pitching career even shorter.

You also risk failing to realize the upper limits of your pitching potential.

Think of your body as a clearinghouse.

Your movements send messages to your body. Your body interprets these messages and decides which arm slot your throwing arm moves through.

When you “try”, you’re attempting to figure out how to send your body the right messages in the right order.

However, when you know how to move, you give your body everything it needs to produce the Million$ Pitching results you’re desperately “trying” to find.

Stop “trying”, start producing Million$ Results

If you were in one of my programs, we’d use video chat or an in-person pitching motion to show me how you move.

In less than 10-minutes, without asking you to change your throwing action, I’ll show you how to immediately and consistently show every Opponent a Million$ fastball arm speed, have your pitches produce Million$ late stage ball movement and, at the same time, expect Million$ command.

Want Million$ results? Let’s talk!

Comparisons breed frustration.

It’s human nature to compare, compete and measure your success against the accomplishments of others.

Most believe, when you copy a successful pitching motion, pitching success is yours ...or is it?

Comparisons are unfair.

You know yourself better than you know anyone else.

As a result, you compare the worst of you against the best of others.

You set out trying to do the impossible … make your actions duplicate another person’s reactions.

Your competition isn’t against others.

In pitching, your only competition is you.

To be the best pitching version of yourself, you need to stop these foolish comparisons from robbing you of your energy, your focus, and your pitching career.

In the moment, you might think you’re doing the right thing, but eventually you’ll come to understand what a waste of time it is trying to copy someone else.

Your battle isn’t against others. Your war is within your own heart, your mind, and your soul.

Compete against yourself and the path to your pitching dreams becomes clear.

Compete Against Yourself
