Why Does Your Motion Keep Breaking Down?

Your pitching motion works in connected pairs.

No matter what …

  • Your “Back Hip Quadrant” and “Glove Side Quadrant” always work together.
    • Coach Skip’s instruction never ignores the glove side.
  • Your “Front Hip Quadrant” and “Throwing Side Quadrant” always work together.
    • Coach Skip’s instruction never asks your front leg to land first.

Can’t Figure Out Your Motion?

If you or someone you know is struggling with command, velocity, or mechanics, send Coach Skip a text or direct message to 856-524-3248.
  • Coach Skip responds within 24 hours.

 Common Errors

Most pitching problems occur when one part of the sequence tries to do another part’s job.

  • You think working your hips alone will solve your problem.
  • In the starting position, the front knee goes behind the front hip.
  • The throwing arm tries to create power.
  • The front leg lands too early.
  • The hips never fully engage.
  • The glove arm is treated as unimportant.
  • The baseball is forced instead of sequenced.

The best deliveries don’t rely on the throwing arm alone. They rely on sequence.

Out of Your Starting Position, Your Glove Hand Moves First

Coach Skip teaches the sequence Glove Arm → Hips → Front Leg → Throwing Arm.
  • The glove arm moves first to activate the hips.
  • The hips create direction and momentum, which set the front leg in motion.
  • As the front leg stabilizes and accepts force, the throwing arm is free to accelerate and deliver the baseball.

The body throws the baseball one movement at a time.

 The Result

With Coach Skip’s guidance, each movement triggers the next.

Out of the starting position,

  • The glove arm activates the hips.
  • The hips move the front leg.
  • The front leg allows the throwing arm to accelerate.

Head → Direction → Sequence → ONE Motion.

When the sequence is connected, the body delivers the baseball with command, velocity, and purpose.

⚾ Sequence Over Strength™

The clues for getting your ball to your target aren’t in your motion; they’re in your starting position.

You’ll drive yourself crazy trying to fix your motion when your starting position fixes everything that causes your ball to go into your target.
