“Legitimate” Internal Rotation and Your Front Knee

 

Preliminaries

Your Body is always in balance.

“False” Internal Rotation creates balance when your Front Knee goes behind your Front Hip.

In “Legitimate” Internal Rotation, you produce balance when your Front Knee stays in front of your Front Hip.

“Legitimate” Internal Rotation

To create a position for your Front Knee to end up in front of your Front Hip, your Feet begin close together.

From this position, you want your front Thigh to rotate outward.

Your Front Knee stays in front of your Front Hip, your Front Toe lines up with your Back Hip, and your Front Foot toes point toward Home Plate.

“False” Internal Rotation

Without exception, your Feet in any other position prompts your Front Knee to go behind your Front Hip.

No matter how you maneuver your Body, your Lower Body will always follow your Throwing Arm, your ball will periodically go into your target, but no regularly.

You rely on the Hitter to make your outing something with structure.

Get “Legitimate” Internal Rotation”

To find your target with uncanny regularity, you want your Front Knee to stay in front of your Front Hip.

“Legitimate Internal Rotation” and Your Glove Hand

 

Preliminaries

Your Body is always in balance.

You either don’t realize your Body maintains your balance or your produce balance.

In “Legitimate Internal Rotation”, you produce balance. In “False Internal Rotation”, you forget about your balance.

“Legitimate Internal Rotation”

When you produce balance, your Front Leg lift mirrors a balanced position.

From this position, your Glove Hand moves first, and the rest of your Body follows your Glove Hand movement.

Your Glove Hand movement takes you into your Stride, and, as a natural balanced reaction, you fire your Hips.

Your Hip movement pulls your Throwing Hand forward and your pitch goes to your target with uncanny regularity.

“False Internal Rotation”

From your Front Leg lift to your Stride, your natural response becomes your Throwing Hand going behind your Body.

To keep your Body in balance, your Throwing Hand essentially offsets your Stride.

The weight from your Stride causes your Front Foot to hit the ground, your Throwing Arm delivers the ball, and your Hips follow.

Your Throwing Arm working by itself expands your target area.

Your Foot Position and Command

 

Preliminaries

Your motion depends on where your Feet touch the ground.

The correct Foot Positioning promotes great Glove Work and exceptional command.

However, when your Foot Positioning is off, your Body moves out of balance, your Glove Work is reactionary, and your command suffers.

Your Foot Position

Your good Front and Back Heels produce balance.

With your Heels too far apart, your motion loses its balance, your Glove Work becomes nonexistent, and your command suffers.

However, your Heels in line with your target and one baseball width apart keep your motion in balance, your Glove Hand promotes your motion, and your command produces with uncanny regularity.

Your Glove Work

Your Glove Work takes your Body out of balance.

Most important is that your Glove Work causes your Lower Body to open. land your stride, and pull your Throwing Arm into release.

Your Lower Body drives your Throwing Action, and your Throwing Action takes the ball directly to your target.

Need Your Foot Positioning?

If you want your Body to be in balance. drive your pitch, and your command to hit your target, the Pro Pitching Institute is here for you.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you to begin your motion with your Feet one baseball width apart on every pitch, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Glove Hand and Command

Your Glove Hand Palm

Your Glove Hand Palm flipping up powers your Throwing Action.

It’s the timing of your Glove Hand Palm that determines the size of your target area.

Your Glove Hand makes your target area the size of your Glove all the way to nonexistent.

No Glove Hand

When you begin your motion with your Front Foot behind your Front Hip or your Front Foot wider than your Shoulders, your Glove Hand Palm reacts to your motion.

Your Glove Hand is used for balance, goes the way your Body determines, and essentially moves where needed.

Your Throwing Hand delivers the ball into a target area that’s larger than a controlled Glove Hand Palm naturally produces.

An Ideal Glove Hand

Ideally, you want your Body to be in balance.

Being in a balanced state means your Front Foot is even with your Back Toes and your Front Toe point toward your target.

Your Glove Hand naturally turns over, you Stride, and your Throwing Hand delivers the ball to your target.

Your ball goes directly to your target.

Better Command

Your Glove Hand Palm regularly places the ball in your target with uncanny regularity.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you a Glove Arm movement to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Your Glove Arm and Command

Your Body Needs Balance

In your motion, your Glove Arm is used for balance.

Depending on your balance within your Starting Position, you either command the ball with uncanny regularity or use your Throwing Arm to command the ball within a much larger target area.

Out of Balance

You’re out of balance when an overactive Front Knee finishes behind your Front Hip and places all your weight over your Back Foot.

Heading to your release, your Glove Arm wants to keep your Body in balance and, as such, is not involved with your release.

You naturally land your Stride, your Glove Side Shoulder clears, and you release your pitch.

Your release forces your Throwing Hand to miss your target over the plate with indisputable consequences.

In Balance

Being in balance finds your “center of gravity” directly over your Back Foot Instep.

Your good Stride begins with your Glove Arm moving toward your target and ends with your Glove Arm Palm naturally turning upward.

With your Body in balance, your Glove Arm has freed itself to guide your Throwing Hand into release.

Better Command

Your Throwing Action regularly places the ball in your target with uncanny regularity.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you a Glove Arm movement to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Your Throwing Hand and Command

 Your Stride becomes involved with your motion when your Front Leg fails to compensate for your balance.

Your Throwing Hand goes behind your Body to counterbalance your Stride.

After your Stride ends, your Throwing Arm sends the ball to your target area, and you end up managing your pitch location through your next release point.

Your location is suspect and highly out of synch.

Your Throwing Arm Freedom

When your Front Leg is involved with your balance, you land your Stride Leg, fire your Lower Body, then deliver your pitch.

Your Lower Body controlling your Throwing Arm makes your motion into a single action.

Your Throwing Hand stays in front of your Body and, as such, shoots the ball to your target with uncanny regularity.

You miss your target, and you merely work the process all over again.

Improved Command

Your command finds the ball in or very close to your target.

Missing your target by a lot indicates your Throwing Hand went behind your Body.

On the next pitch, you rely on your motion and throw the ball right into your target.

Better Throwing Action

Your Throwing Action regularly places the ball in your target with uncanny regularity.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you an active Throwing Arm location to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.

Stride AND Throw, Glove Work, and Command

 

The Front Foot Starting Position

The Front Foot Starting Position places your weight on or in front of your Back Foot.

Ideally, for you to regularly find your target, you want your Front Foot to begin even with your Back Foot.

Any other position means you don’t know where the ball will end up.

The Front Foot Behind Your Hips

Your Front Foot beginning behind your Front Hip puts your weight on your Back Foot.

Your weight on your Back Foot forces your Stride to take the weight off your Back Foot.

You land your stride, THEN you fire the ball.

The chance your ball hits your target is greatly decreased.

The Front Foot Even With Your Hips                

With your Front Foot in front of your Front Hip, you balance your weight slightly in front of your Back Foot.

Not only is your weight in balance, but your Glove Hand swings into action.

Your Glove Hand fires your Lower Body, your Lower Body activates your Hips, AND you throw the ball.

Your ball goes into your target with uncanny regularity.

Better Stride AND Throw Action

Your Stride AND Throw regularly places the ball in your target with uncanny regularity.

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches you a Stride AND Throw routine to promote your command, or your instruction is free … No questions… No hassles… and no hard feelings.
