Your starting position PROMPTS YOUR MOTION.
❌ Because of your starting position, Your Front Leg lands before Your Hips and Glove Hand.
You can get velocity, but with inconsistent command.
With your current starting position …
-
Your front foot completes your stride before your glove hand crosses your body,
-
You leave your throwing hand to work alone, and
-
Your lower body CAN’T and WON’T drive your throwing action.
The Wrong BIOLOGY LESSON
WITH YOUR CURRENT STARTING POSITION …
Your Front Foot Lands First → Your Hips Are Tilted and Can’t Fire → Your Glove Hand Does Nothing → Your Throwing Hand Works Alone to Produce Just Velocity → During Your Follow-Through, Your Entire Back Leg Swings Out and Around Your Back Hip
LEAVE YOUR STARTING POSITION WHERE IT IS and …
- Instead of your glove hand prompting your hips and your hips powering your front foot, your front foot lands first.
- Your lower body won’t contribute to the throwing action the way you want it to, and
- Your throwing hand is left to create the pitch by itself.
WITH YOUR CURRENT STARTING POSITION, YOUR FRONT FOOT LANDS FIRST AND EVERYTHING AFTER YOUR FRONT FOOT LANDS IS A COMPENSATION.
Front Foot Lands → Lower Body Loses Its Sequence → Throwing Hand Works Alone → Back Leg Swings Around
✅ A BALANCED starting position gets your Glove Hand to lead your motion.
You see consistent velocity, regular command, AND PINPOINT ACCURACY.
ONCE YOU SET UP YOUR BALANCED starting POSITION, your glove hand crosses your body first AND powers the entire sequence.
The Right PITCHING SEQUENCE
Once you’ve completed a balanced starting position, ONE MOVEMENT creates your throw
You Start in a Balanced Alignment → Your Glove Hand Crosses Your Body
AS A REACTION TO YOUR GLOVE HAND MOVEMENT…
- Your Level Hips Rotate →
- Your Front Foot Responds to Your Hips →
- You Complete Your Stride →
- Your Throwing Hand Delivers the Baseball to Your Target with Velocity, Command, and Pinpoint Accuracy →
- Your Back Thigh Comes Close to Your Front Thigh and Just Your Lower Leg Helps You Maintain Balance Through Your Follow-Through
Your pitching motion isn’t a collection of separate movements. Each movement prompts the movement that follows.
Starting Position → Glove Hand → Hips → Stride → Throwing Hand → Follow-Through
Get the order right, and …
- Your glove hand is free.
- Your body produces the sequence.
- Your throwing hand delivers the baseball.
THAT’S SEQUENCE OVER STRENGTH™ Pitching INSTRUCTION
-
You get into a balanced starting posture.
-
Your glove-hand leads.
-
Your lower body powers the motion.
-
Your throwing hand delivers the baseball.
