Mae the Impossible Possible

Pitchers with lower body balance clearly outperform pitchers with throwing arm balance.
Throwing Arm Balance - Pitchers with throwing arm balance produce a naturally unproductive and Tommy John prone arm slot.  
  • To get the next pitch into your target area, you have to rely on eye-to-hand coordination to hopefully deliver their next pitch to your target.
Eye-to-hand coordination is something that…
· You either have eye-to-hand coordination or you don’t.
· Changes your natural energy create the small ligament tears and fraying that make you a Tommy John risk.
· Makes you ineffective at the highest levels.
Eye-to-hand coordination can’t be taught, but, with lower body balance, you excel at the highest levels without eye-to-hand coordination.
Level Hips - With level hips at the top of front leg lift, your naturally productive arm slot means…
· Your hips to deliver your next pitch into your target.
· A deceptive delivery keeps your opponent off balance.
· Your natural energy flow keeps you Tommy John resistant.
Where throwing arm balanced results relies upon an unteachable element, keeping your hips level is extremely teachable, very effective and extremely efficient.
