Why Does Your Motion Keep Breaking Down?
Your pitching motion works in connected pairs.
- Your hips and glove arm work together.
- Coach Skip’s instruction never ignores the glove arm.
- Your front leg and throwing arm work together.
- Coach Skip’s instruction never asks your front leg to land first.
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.
Common Errors
Most pitching problems occur when one part of the sequence tries to do another part’s job.
- 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.
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.
